What to do in Fall?

[Catalin]

I have 250k but i'm tired of watering like 500 crops/day
Should i skip the cranberry season for upgrading my gear and getting sprinklers?
I think Fall+Winter is enough for me to donate 10 more things to museum and get sewer key for krobus's shop and get iridium sprinklers + in the rest of the time i can focus on the community center and desert and in spring i can start the season with full iridium sprinklers.
PS: I have gold wat. can

So what do you think I should do, use this fall+ winter for new gear or water 500 cranberries a day til my nerves die?

Getting a variety of items is more important than money.

Have a small, manageable farm unless you have sprinklers to spare, and spend your newfound free time mining or fishing.

10 cranberry plants you water by hand will more than cover any expenses, and set up bunches of preserves jars to make double cash on them. Add more as you have sprinklers to cover them.

Debatable. If you already have the achievements I don't see why you couldn't min max.

You can min/max after you get sprinklers, and the plants grow on their own. At that point, your time as a player is more valuable than the cranberries.

Should try to have your first quality sprinkler in early summer if possible. Even spring might be possible, but usually I get it close to the first week of summer.

I've never really found the basic sprinkler or watering can upgrades worth it.

6 3x3 cranberry spots as i have gold watering can so i can cover expenses should be good?

[Wraith_Magus]

Seems like overkill to me, honestly. I don't know how much time or energy gold can watering uses up, but it seems better spent in the mines.

You should be working to advance through the mines so you can get gold and irridium as fast as possible. Time wasted on farming is time you're not gaining access to new things that help you make more money automatically.

If your bored of farming, which it sounds like, Id definitely do something else, go for the sprinklers, kegs,preserve bins, upgrading tools makes things a lot easier,helps get rid of big stones and hardwood.dont play it until your sick of it, that would be a shame.even the 2nd tier sprinklers are decent, make 3x3 squares and plop them down in the middle then forget em. Use the winter to think about what you like doing most, and plan your farm out ready to hoe in spring.have fun :0)

During my first year, as soon as I could, I made about 15 quality sprinklers. After my first harvest in Fall, of my first year, I put down all of the quality sprinklers that watered 100 pumpkins and 30 Amarnth. This got me over 40k on my first fall, allowing me to get an iridium fishing rod and finishing off the vault. I'd deffinatley recomend getting a lot of quality sprinklers with whatever quartz, iron, and gold you have. Don't give up on the farm, keep it going, just get as many sprinklers as you can to save however much time. Do what you want though, what you feel good about and all.

Two thumbs up to that.

It might change with the next patch though - we're going to get "money sinks" to spend late-game cash on, so there might be a use for all that money after all. Then again, if you're in the late game, there's a good chance you're already neck-deep in so much money that no "money sink" could ever put a dent in it... :/

Get sprinklers.

You should just be a tree and....leave your watering to sprinklers. It is the....root of your problems!
