Whether you're a new farmer or a seasoned veteran, these tips will help you maximize your farm's potential.
Sprinkler Placement Strategy
The Sprinkler is one of the most valuable items in the game. Each one waters a 3×3 area around itself.
For maximum coverage with zero overlap, space them out like this:
. . . . . . .
. S . . . S .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
. S . . . S .
. . . . . . .
Pro Tip: Upgrade to the Quality Sprinkler (5×5 coverage) as soon as you can!
Seasonal Planning
Each season is exactly 28 days. Plan around multi-harvest crops for maximum profit.
| Season | Days | Best Crops |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | 28 | Strawberry, Cauliflower |
| Summer | 28 | Blueberry, Melon |
| Fall | 28 | Cranberry, Pumpkin |
| Winter | 28 | Indoor crops only |
Crop Value Ranking
Focus your limited watering energy on the highest-value crops.
