Watering large farms?

    Has there been any info on better watering cans? Or automated ones? I'd love to be able to set up a farm with, for example, dripping pipes above it. Large farms are so slow to water right now.

    Admittedly I've been kind of busy and I may have missed it in all the updates.

    Well there is nothing in the stable, but in the nightly there is a second faster watering can and a sprinkler.

    That's good to hear. Is the sprinkler automatic then?

    Yep and you can also wire it if you want to turn it off and on.

    Or you can utilize the "swap hands" function to cancel the watering can animation, if you play on stable.

    Or you could build a large automated watering system using wire.

    I just build my farms on rainy worlds and don't try to grind-farm. Watering manually really sucks right now.

    Excellent. I really look forward to the new update then, especially with the underwater hylotl cities.
