I wish you could go from one sprinkler to the next. It would make basic sprinklers so much more popular! Like, add a gold bar to make a quality sprinkler, and then an iridium bar to make an iridium sprinkler.

[@ThatDiabeticChemist]

This is such a good idea actually

[@arctic5093]

just also keep the original recipes as well, otherwise you would have to craft 4 things each time you want an iridium sprinkler.

[@arctic5093]

[@Kahadi]

This is a more recent solution, as I know this wasn't a thing when the game first came out, but you could just put your old sprinklers into a deconstructor to get some materials back.

My favorite part of watching haboo is watching him do the mundane things like tree chopping, mining, crop watering because legit the way he does everything is so much faster and efficient than anyone else. Even just little things like knowing how far away you can stand from a water source and still refill your watering can, it’s crazy. Also the animation canceling is goated. Keep it up haboo!

[@wonderlandzer0]

[@Zarren_Redacted]

It's what's refereed to as animation canceling, can't remember exactly how it's done because I never learned how to do it, but pretty much as soon as they can they cancel the action and that lets you move early and reset it

[@LinkThinks]

Basic Sprinklers save you time and energy at the point in the game that you're most strapped for both of them, which makes them kings in my book.

[@Kahadi]

That's the thing, a lot of people don't really think of the early game, especially from the perspective of a newer or less skilled player. Older files don't really have to worry about the materials or energy. More skilled players can reach level 6 a lot faster and get the materials a lot more easily even starting a new farm. But a new player, even the average player, doesn't have the skills and knowledge to quickly reach level 6 farming and get low enough in the mines to craft better sprinklers, and they don't have the time, energy, or other resources to go without sprinklers, and they don't really have the luxury to put too much focus on their farm layout. They're struggling to have the energy to water every crop they have, they're struggling to get the money to buy more food so they don't collapse, they're struggling to get through the mine with more than just rocks. And the issue goes beyond calling basic sprinklers bad, it's a lot of other elements of the game. Not optimal is not the same as bad. Options like crab pots, tapping trees, foraging, farming honey, all of them are decent ways to make money for a newer player that doesn't know about clay farming, that doesn't know the favourite gifts and birthdays of every villager, that doesn't know the best ways to get lower in the mines. Options like those are not meant for the experienced or late game players that have access to everything, they are meant to be good enough to be worth the time and effort for newer players that haven't even unlocked the forest cave by the start of summer.

[@Mady0]

​@@KahadiI hated the mines when I first tried playing. I could never imagine willingly going into the skull caverns. I've been playing recently and while far from optimized simply having sprinklers made not only the whole game more enjoyable, but also gave me time to enjoy other aspects. With sprinklers I often have extra time and things like the mines in general are enjoyable. I just thought that was the way it was tbh. I once started playing coop with 3 of my friends. 2 of them had more experience than me, but neither of them said anything about the lack of sprinklers. I bought the game for the 3rd and feel bad now knowing that I likely led her astray too.

[@evewhoo]

I was talking with a friend who was like "I'd rather save the resources for other things and wait for the quality sprinklers" but the peace of mind the basic sprinklers gave me compared to them who had to water every crop one by one every day didn't convince me that waiting was worth it XD

[@Vinyl_DjPon3]

12:12 - 13:12 I really like this little ramble about Basic Sprinklers. For the experienced player, yeah... level 6 farming and floor 80 of the mines isn't a huge ask, you can reliably do it by the time you need to plant strawberries. But so often I'll see people suggest to completely new players to just avoid Basic.... Only for that new player to end up at the end of Fall wondering how they're supposed to get anything done because they're 'always out of energy and have no time' because they've spent every day watering every crop. New players are bad at the game... level 6 farming and floor 80 can take AWHILE for them. Telling them to ignore the MUCH more achievable level 2, and floor 40 is such a bad advice choice.

[@kb27787]

Just plant and harvest 430 parsnips and get lucky with a few rain days before the 13th and you'll have lvl 6 farming by the time strawberries come around...

[@robynflame5473]

i genuinely love watering my crops by hand... got a little over 100 hours on the game, so barely any knowledge about what's good and what's not, so i just avoided the basic sprinklers, water by hand, and only really do things when it's raining- it's kinda relaxing, having a reliable routine, when you aren't rushing the game

[@Mady0]

That's honestly what I did too until recently. While watering will always have a soft spot, I now find other things much more enjoyable than before have been able to actually seriously attempt the skull caverns. There just wasn't the time or energy to do much else. It also was difficult because by the time I really considered sprinklers I had unlocked the iridium quality sprinklers. To save my limited resources I wanted to go straight to iridium. The problem? I didn't realize my resources were limited because I was spending so much time on watering. If you're having fun go for it! You can always keep some to be watered by hand and expand with sprinklers if energy or time becomes an issue.

on basic sprinklers: while they do look awkward in most cases, they’re actually really satisfying with bee houses. putting 4 bee houses on the 4 corners it doesn’t water and putting flowers on the spots it does water looks pretty cute and boosts the honey sell price a bit plus you can sell the flowers at the end of the season. so when i phase out the basic sprinklers on my main crops i use them with bee houses

I was so confused what that was about. And chat was even worse with them saying it's spelled lazaña or whatever. It's like... uh? It's an Italian dish, spelled lasagne and lasagna for plural. There is no ñ or z. In Spanish it's lasaña, but they didn't make the dish. That's just how they spell it. Using ñ for the same sound as gn in Italian.

[@BlockCheddar]

I have to agree about the raisin tangent. There's not a single dried fruit that has the same flavor or dryness that especially purple raisins have. Green raisins are usually moister and more like a miniature dried plum (but with a lighter flavor). I think what makes them so different is the fact that grapes are already small and so much of their volume is water, so they get really tiny and especially dry.

Basic sprinklers are good for early game, when you're most hurting for time/energy. But, after getting a horse, the more space between your sprinklers, the better.

Basic Sprinklers are great. In my opinion, they're just as good as quality sprinklers. Yes quality sprinklers water more, but they also cost a LOT more than basic sprinklers. That and you can get well over 30 basic sprinklers before day 13. That's 120 strawberries that you can plant and forget about. They're broken and should probably be nerfed a bit to level 3 instead of level 2

[@trequor]

Nah. It's important to free up time and energy for other pursuits. This game gets real old when you have to water everything all the time. Basic sprinklers are the bomb though. I actually find the pattern rather aesthetic, and of course they require less coal and are available immediately after 2nd harvest (assuming you plant strawberries)

So you're going to manually water every crop every day, wasting all of your time and energy that could instead be put into mining or fishing? Either you don't actually do much if any farming until that point, or you are doing nothing but farming. Or you are not making any money.

​@@arandomperson7141 you expect new players that don't know about optimal strategies or clay farming, ones that might not reach level 6 farming until well into Summer, to manually water crops, wasting all of their time and energy so they can't really do anything else in the game?

[@Great_Olaf5]

My main objections to the basic sprinklers are largely due to my playstyle. I both hate the mines and buying raw resources. I bought enough copper and iron to make a furnace and upgrade my axe twice in my most recent run, and this is the first time on the three years I've been playing the game that I've ever bought ore. Secondly, if I make a bunch of basic sprinklers, when I get quality ones, they're obsolete. Iridium sprinklers are expensive enough the way I play that quality sprinklers are never fully obsolete, but once you have quality, there's no reason to have basic, and since as far as I know there's no way to sell them, they just sit around in a chest for the rest of time. If they could be upgraded rather than replaced, I would use them.
