I searched for this, so apologies if it's already been answered:
How does the Dirt Rod 2.0 decide what to fill and what not to fill? And how does it decide what to fill
with?
Testing in my world, I'm getting some odd and seemingly inconsistent results. Trying to fill up a desert surface, with underground desert beneath.
I'm using mode 1 as I don't want to clear anything. I've tried clearing desert underground walls to try and get a fill going, but it's pulling in pearl sand from the right it seems. I buffered and clentaminated the side I'm working in (used the natural hole into the underground desert as the midway point).
Pic attached. The two areas in red boxes I'm trying to fill, the 'hole' I do not want to fill. Would prefer to have it filled by sand/sandstone if possible.
As a note, I totally dug the top portion out at one point, and where it's filled it and/or levelled off again I did manually and that was getting time consuming, hence the dirt rod 2.0 finally coming out of the chest!
Am I just underestimating the tool? I get pearlsand sometimes, and dirt/rock other times (assuming it's 'pulling' in dirt and rock from the left).
Loving the mod btw, this is the only tool I've not been able to use quite like I hoped, and I'm sure it's just that I'm using it poorly.
