sprinkler placment on beach farm

[RicWalker]

for a strange reason i cant place sprinklers. it says "cant be placed on this soil"

what do i wrong or is it a bug?

[Steven]

The description of the Beach Farm says "(...) However, sprinklers don't work in the sandy soil" so no sprinklers there, maybe try grass area ( saw this farm from 'bird view' ).

But you cant even place the sprinklers on the floor or path like it worked before, that seems like not intended to me...

Im pretty sure you cant use sprinklers on this farm

[Phil]

theres a small area with other type of ground, there u can place sprinklers. But it doesnt make much sense to me, that they wouldnt work on stone floor, since thats fixation enough for them to hold^^

that does not work

that small patch must be cleared of hollow trees first. they work on those

Beyond just the above-ground sprinkler having something to sit on, logically in the real world there wouldn't be a sprinkler system placed underground beneath sand, so maybe he was trying to keep them somewhat true to life.

[growls] what the freak? well, that just sucks.
i'm going to go out on a limb and say that the beach farm, like the monster infested one, is kind of a higher "level" of play. [sighs]
i really shoulda tweaked the advanced settings to make it easier on myself.

well, to get back on topic, i really hope that it's just something we haven't figured out or that there's some uber advanced sprinkler system we're too new to this version to have found yet. cuz, otherwise, Stardew Valley just made history for me by upping the amount of swearing i do during play. other games, swearing's the norm. but it Wasn't for SdV... Before anyway. ah well. such is virtual life, i guess.

Well, it just means that you focus on the beach farm on animals and fishing. if you want to farm you have to force the watering can upgrades and use that 20 by 100 tiles patch of dirt you can place sprinklers on.
Another option hinted by the map is the excessive use of the watering fertilizer. (i yet have to try that out because that fertilizer was useless before (maybe thats why they were reworked according to patch notes))

I'm pretty sure in the updates about this 1.5 that the beach wouldn't allow for sprinklers. It makes sense to me. It's supposed to be more of a challenge.
