how do you get the second function to irrigate i just clicked the red sprinkler from the extended toolbox and it just grabs the brown sprinkler

It worked for me when I first bought the red sprinkler and it was actually on a farm. But it doesn't work like that when it's in the store.

I've just placed it on the farm with the crops I wanted to speed up and used irrigate on the menu, and it that was fine. Seems a bit fiddly though.

I followed instructions, clicked on irrigate and proceeded to irrigate my farms. I expected that the time to harvest would be cut in half, but that is not what it says on the screen. It still predicts 8 hours to harvest lettuce, for example, instead of 4 which it should be if irrigation actually sped up crop harvest. what should I do? I paid 50 fc so expect to get what I paid for.

It's working on some of my crops but not all. It does seem as if it will only work once on one farm, rather than on individual fields, which is what it says in the release notes.

be patient, this is all new to all of us and with every update and new things added there are bound to be glitches. the devs will have this sorted as quick as they can and before long things will be right as rain again.

I love the Clydesdales. Now I need to put all those pantomime horses into the stables.

And I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I preferred the percentage complete notices on crops. I'm finding the new system confusing. Any chance of giving us the old percentage system as an alternative option?

Thanks!
