- The three sprinkler tiers, when each unlocks, and how to lay them out so your whole farm waters itself.
•Three tiers
Basic Sprinkler waters the 4 tiles around it. Quality Sprinkler (needs Iron + Gold Bars) covers a 3x3 area. Iridium Sprinkler (needs Iridium Bars) covers a 5x5 area. Recipes unlock as your Farming level rises.
•When you can automate
You can stop hand-watering once you craft Quality Sprinklers (Iron + Gold). Iridium Sprinklers free your entire morning once you reach the Skull Cavern for iridium.
•Layout tips
Use sprinkler + walkway grids so you can still harvest. Six Iridium Sprinklers cover the Greenhouse's 12x10 plot, leaving room for crops.
