Basic Sprinkler
The Basic Sprinkler is a rare gear that's obtainable in the Gear Shop.Upon placing the Basic Sprinkler, every plant in the radius of the sprinkler will grow faster and produce larger crops. Specifically, crops receive a 1.25× size multiplier (+0.25 when stacking additively with other sprinkler types). There is a small chance for a plant in the radius of the sprinkler to obtain the Wet mutation.
How to Use
Place the Basic Sprinkler in your garden to affect nearby plants. It remains active, continuously boosting growth and size until removed or replaced.
Best Usage Strategy
Position the Basic Sprinkler centrally in your garden to maximize its radius coverage, prioritizing high-value or slow-growing crops. Combine with Watering Cans for additive growth boosts, and check plants for the Wet mutation to enhance crop value.
