Rain makes watering harder
It would really be nice, seeing that rain has no effect whatsoever on crop timers, if you would make the water can icons above the plants to quit disappearing every time it rains.

water DOES have an effect on crops timer (at least last time I played, which was last week)

OFC on a crop that will takes 1-2 day to grow, it will hardly be noticeable.

Now try to plant zucchinis during a rainy season right away. You will in seconds get your growth timer set on 7.5 minutes which is exactly 1/2 of it's regular growing time of 15 minutes.

That beeing said, it does not change the fact that you are right for the disappearing icon for crops that are not fully watered during rainy season.

From what I've read in other posts, water has zero effect on crops. This Dev quote if from back in March.

Rain actually does accelerate plant growth by watering them. Currently snow is the one that causes plants not to consume water.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong about the rain vs effect on crops, but regardless, it doesn't change the fact that water buckets shouldn't disappear as long as plants need water.

it's because the watering symbol only appears when crops are below 15% water so it's not annoying.

I bought the Xbox One version so my girlfriends kids could play (and now her) and found that that version is slightly different. When it rains on that version it fills the water levels of the plants at a semi-decent rate, where on the PC is does pretty much nothing. Also the gas station (the smaller one) fills the tractor more. Not sure what else is different, but those are easy to notice.

The gas station is probably because on PC your farmer level is higher so you have a higher fuel capacity making it look like it's filling up a lower amount even though it's providing the same amount of fuel.
For crops my best guess is that different crops consume water at different speeds. So lettuce will consume water almost as fast as rain is watering it while pumpkins may actually build up a buffer.

Nope, it is the same, I started over on the PC because I wanted to be the same level as the family playing on the Xbox. It just seems that there is a difference and I am not the only one in the family that noticed. But maybe you are right and it could be the different plants, will have to test that out...

Did you start a new farm or reset your player level? Because player level determines fuel capacity not farm level.
Also I did test the watering difference for crops of different times using watermelon and lettuce and it is based on growth time.

Started a new farm. I still have my really high level farm and now the hardcore super flat one.

Hello,

Watering works the same on Xbox and Pc. And rain waters crops and flowers, the quote posted here must be old.

Of course the effect will be more noticeable on short term crops than on longer term ones.
