Diverdave, you're probably right about the Mod's.

We all sat the forums when we couldn't/didn't want to wait for the new update Well, we got it, and we have to have something to talk about.

The sprinkler was great when the new release came out, I needed some crops to bolster my inventory, since I knew I was going to move facilities to other farms, without them being completely empty, and would loose those items in the facilities. I was able to plant, and then irrigate all 10 farm early after the release came out, and now have every facility back up to 100%, and building my stock back up.

I only see this tool valuable if I have allowed items to get down to a dangerous level or if I know that with my work schedule, that I won't have time in the normal cycle to get to a crop.

In my opinion, for 50 FC, the manure spreader doubled our yield for every crop we plant when the farm is fertilized be it a 2 hour or 5 day crop, so for 50 FC, the red sprinkler should cut the growing time in half every crop I plant, not just one every 24 hours.

If it was just going to be an enhancement with a slight advantage, it should have been at a lower price of the brown sprinkler, just like the 5x5's tools were a lower price from the 4x4's tool prices.
