[Mokum]

is it safe to let them outside thru the winter or do have a chance that they willll be destroyed when seasons switch ?

iin short let them outside or keep gathering them end fall and putting them back start spring ?

I don't know of this game has decay rules or just wants to have a clean area each morning, but I've read that every day or every new season, there is a chance the sprinkler could be removed because some rocks or branches or grass spawns where the sprinkler is. If that happens, I don't know if the sprinkler will be on the ground waiting for you to pick it up, or if it would have been removed out of the game world.

As a result, I've taken to putting down one tile of cobblestone (or another type that you prefer) before putting the sprinkler on. This keeps any debris from spawning there. It also helps that when you hoe in that area, you won't pop the sprinkler out of its spot.

However, to answer your actual question, the sprinklers do not decay or need repair. They can stay out all year long.

Why not farm in the winter? You can grow winter forage items with winter seeds, Gold level crystal fruit is worth quite a bit to sell, and makes a good jelly to sell.

So don't put away your sprinklers, use them!

That's true about winter farming, but at least for me, in my first winter, I barely had any foraged items anyway to make some seeds. Of course, in winter year 2, having foraged all winter long 1 year ago, I now had enough for 100 packets of seeds (as well as the quality sprinklers used to cover 100 plots), which then yielded enough for 200+ packets of seeds a few days later. So going for crystal fruit is definitely a possible idea.

This happened to me. Once spring I had an iridium sprinkler and the grave path tile underneath it go missing. I think there was a rock or branch in it's place, but I confess I was so busy clearing the land and running of to Pierre's that I didn't notice until I was tilling the soil. I had to recraft both the sprinkler and the gravel path that was underneath it. I still leave sprinklers out all year round though. One sprinkler loss in 4-5 years is pretty rare.
