Okay, so I'm probably not too bright where some of these things are concerned, but I figure it's better to ask the question up front than to buy the tool and find out it doesn't do what I thought.

So, if I buy the new green sprinkler, will it both shorten and lengthen my harvest time? For instance, right now when I plant corn (60 hours) and water it with the Orange(?)/Red(?) sprinkler, my corn will be ready in 30 hours -- OK, 29.9 hours.

If I buy the green sprinkler and use it on my corn as soon as I plant, it seems to me that what you're saying is my window of opportunity to harvest the corn is now from 29.9 hours to 108 hours (60 + 48).

True? Because I sure wouldn't want to buy it if it added on extra time at the end, but didn't double growing time too.

And to those of you who complain this is a "worthless" upgrade, I totally agree with whoever said this will make planting really short-term crops feasible for those of us who can't be on all hours of the day and night. I mean, raspberries that don't go to waste until 28 hours after you plant them?!! That's fantastic, especially for those of us who only plant 2- and 4-hour crops when they need them -- and then perch next to the computer fretting that they'll still lose them -- even with timers and big stickie notes to help us remember!!!

AND TO RAUL AND THE DEVS -- BRAVO!! WELL DONE!!! THANKS FOR MAKING THE ONLY GAME I PLAY EVEN BETTER!!!!! I do hope you're training your offspring to take over for your when you get too old, grey, and senile to keep up with the game. I want this game to last into perpetuity!!
