Sprinklers or Watering Can

[DarkStarKnight]

Who uses Sprinklers on their farm, and who just uses the watering can?

[LuckySara]

I'm a mix of both. As you get more crops, it's easier to use sprinklers as your energy does deplete as you use the watering can

I use both as well, especially since I don't have the materials for new quality sprinklers at the moment

Why would I ever use the watering can after I have sprinklers

With continuous growth crops, using a sprinkler just makes sense.

You may not feel the need, some do, hopefully I can get to the point of having the iridium sprinklers.

But, once you can make sprinklers, there is no reason to use the watering can.

Until then, there's no reason not to.

Kinda a silly question.

We'll agree to disagree

I use a mix. It depends on what I am going for.

For example, most of my crops are watered by sprinklers in my current game but I have an area where I try to get giant crops that I water by hand because it allows for more uninterrupted placement of crops.

I'll also hand-water some crops (mostly flowers, but on occasion some colorful food-crops) that I've placed for purely decorative purposes. Usually then I don't want a sprinkler mucking up the area.

I think I probably migrate to using sprinklers later in the game than most people do, though. I've never used the basic ones and some playthroughs I don't use any at all until I can get iridium.

Pretty much the only place I've ever bothered using sprinklers was in the greenhouse. Maybe it's just because I prefer being hands-on. I don't know. But then, I've never come close to trying to min/max any of my farms, so the amount is a lot more manageable.

When I get to a end-game farm where everything is automated, I'm going to have a small section right by my house that will be hand-watered, with everything else being automated.

To refil your pet's bucket. And in Slime Hutch.

Slime hutch takes up too much room and isn't profitable.

There's no reason to fill the pet's bowl.

I use it when I don't have enough sprinklers.

Once I do, I only use it for flowers. I like having a 9x3 flowerbed, or sometimes just 3x1 to line a row. I don't want to have a sprinkler in there, so I hand-water them. Flowers used for beehives, however, use sprinklers.

the first year i use watering cans and the rest of the game i use sprinklers
