Yes it might have been nice to be able to choose to not change some areas (like I wouldn't want the yards around my houses to be bare earth color).
I think a good idea would be, yes have the base terrain as dirt, but, add a path that looks like grass, that way we can cover certain areas or even in patterns, they are adding paths tonight, maybe they have a grass path
