Sprinkler 3 absolutely useless in farm design. (Not optimal farm output, but more so for aethestic)

I love building and pathing in these types of games, as the scarecrow is a 11 x 11 tile being 120 tiles to actually farm with 1 being taken up by the Scare crow itself. The Sprinkler 3 uses up 84 tiles including itself making it 83. With design in process and like having a neat looking farm that lets me use archways, fences, etc makes it impractical to use in that sense. I have stuck with the Sprinkler 2 system leaving me 24 tiles to use and having nice path ways and mathematical outputs. I guess from a stand point it is more optimal to use the Sprinkler 2's. Can we make it so that the sprinkler 3's are the same with 11x11 or even 12x12.

the ultimate scarecrow from the lab is 19X19. makes its nice for 4 sprinkler 3s with a nice path separating them

You can have the sprinkler cover areas taken up by paths. The water spray is just pixels so you aren’t actually wasting water by having it spray onto arches and pathways….

You can actually be more creative with pathways with the larger radius if you don't worry about “wasting water”.

For the regular scarecrows I did a 4x4 layout generating a 44x44 area coverage, then I nested a 5x5 spinkler III on that for a 45x45 coverage area. I was able to get a massive automated harvest area setup using this method. Next in game season I will be switching to the 19x19 scarecrows and doing a more artistic layout using paths to separate each sprinkler area from each other.

Ill have to look in getting the 19x19. I average about 20k per day at the moment so its just a matter of wanting to go mine the tier 4 resource lol

Oh darling... Wait until you discover the ultimate scarecrow on the lab.
You are going to love the sprinckler 3
