Irrigation Sprinkler Radius vs. Water usage/efficiency
Perusing the Discussion titles, it appears that my following question has not already been asked/answered (if it already was and I missed it, my bad). Does the choice of radius for the irrigation sprinklers affect the amount of water used? Put another way, what uses more water, a few irrigation sprinklers at max radius, or the same number or irrigation sprinklers at a smaller radius? Trying to determine whether it is more efficient for water usage to have multiple small radius sprinklers instead of some large radius sprinklers that maybe miss some growing/soil tiles (putting aside resource cost for building the pipes and sprinklers).

If not, can this be added? If actually already implemented, can some extra description be added to the sprinkler description to clarify this?

water usage scales with the area, so to maximise the efficiency you just match your grow areas to the size of the sprinkler area
