Why can't I clear the last piece of foliage on an island?

[bimily]

I cleared off my main island months ago and noticed that I wasn't given the option to clear the very last piece. I did everything I could think of, but just never could clear this last piece. I thought it was an anomoly and moved on. Now I've gotten to the last piece of foliage on a second island and again the game doesn't give me theoption of clearing one last piece. What gives????? The islands are kind of ugly with these 1 uncleared pieces. Do I have to do something special to clear these last pieces? Any tips you can give would be appreciated. :-)

You can never clear that because the game don't let you....

TL said they're for future updates, like Dawn tree

Thanks for the feedback. For corner and ledge areas it's totally not a simple fix like you suggest. For some of the seemingly random areas, we actually reserve those spots in case we want to add new on-board things (like the Dawn Tree) in future updates. Basically, if we let people expand everywhere, if we ever wanted to add a new thing to everyone's boards, we couldn't, because players would have built on those spots. That's only a few small spots though, 5 or 6 I think.
