Instructions
This guide is here to show you the basics of setting up a timer with a automatic on and off sequence.
For this setup you will need
1-fluid pump
2-blockers
3-timers
9-electrical branches
1-wire tool
with the picture above using your wire tool, connect the electrical component to its matching color on another electrical component.
once you have all the wires set up all you need is power ( hook up a medium or large battery to a switch and then run the output of that switch into the input of the bottom left-most electrical branch ) then all you need to do is set up the correct power settings on your electrical branches and correct times for your timers ( as shown with the white numbers on the timers and electrical branches accordingly) then all you need to do is hook water up to your pump.the power output on the bottom left electrical branch, the same one you plugged your switch into ( the power output is the one on the top left of the electrical branch) is then plugged into the lights of your farm and the water is put into the sprinklers. and then all you need to do is turn it on and your done! ( depending on the area you have your farm in you might need to adjust the timer on the top left to have more or less time in between watering sessions)

admittedly if you don't have your water source above your farm my method wouldn't work but the pump on/off aren't needed if you do. good talk :)

yes it will give the pump power but it still needs to be turned off and on witch is not just turning the power on and off but it needs 2 seprate power outputs set to diffrent timers ( unless you have all of your water at least 1 square above all your electricity then it would work )

Substitute the turret for the Pumps power on connection and its done

the only problem with that is you will over water the plants and they will loose health. the was this is set up it is in a 2x2 with 4 large planters. 2 sprinklers in the middle of the 2x2 and 4 on the walls, 1 on each square facing each other.

OR, have 4 planters per sprinkler and leave it on indefinitely.
