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.

Tried both placed on a farm and got a brown one both times and both menus are the same.

Maybe it changes to red when you can use it to speed up crops???

It seems to me that it will only grab the red sprinkler out of storage when it is 'due' to be used again. If you have watered already within the allotted time frame it only lets you use the brown one.

Well I tried to water today.... and the red sprinkler was chosen, and showed on the farm, and the rain fell.......

but there is no (W), and the time remains the same after multiple refreshes.


hhmmm


sounds like the fix might be just to

.... forget the time limit on watering
.... forget the 1000 limit on buy and sell (especially now since more farmers will have more to sell - come on devs, wake up)
.... forget the insistence on some strange design decisions that are not up to the higher quality of the overall game

One item in the release did not affect or bother me and that was the 25 new levels.... but I can see where many farmers had the first thought... WTF ... is there anything I could even buy for $25?? Maybe half a sprinkler....lol
