Watering your crops is a huge portion of your day when you first start out. Those first few sprinklers are a blessing. Let's review the types of sprinklers.
The basic sprinkler waters the four adjacent squares.
The quality sprinkler waters the 8 surrounding squares.
The iridium sprinkler waters the 24 surrounding squares.
The game doesn't offer placement markers for sprinklers so you need keep the above diagram in mind when laying out your fields.
| Sprinkler Type | Crafting Recipe | Level Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinkler | 1 Copper Bar and 1 Iron Bar | Farming Level 2 |
| Quality Sprinkler | 1 Iron Bar, 1 Gold Bar, 1 Refined Quartz | Farming Level 6 |
| Iridium Sprinkler | 1 Gold Bar, 1 Iridium Bar, 1 Battery Pack | Farming Level 9 |
| Sprinkler Type | Sources |

Enjoy using all that free time you have on your hands to, well, be busy doing other things!
