Like everyone else, I can't water my flowers with the missing brown sprinkler if I'm waiting to put in a crop and need to use the red sprinkler to cut the time in half. That being said, I'm not giving up on the devs for developing a solution that will make everyone happy- but they do seem to be taking their time about it.

I have no idea if the developers will give the brown sprinkler back to people but here is something to think about. The developers made the red sprinkler with the idea it would replace the brown sprinkler much like the orange manure spreader replaces the red manure spreader. People that bought the first manure spreader didn't complain when the orange one came out about not being able to just fertilize crops and not trees. They probably thought the same would be true for the watering of crops and flowers. Well they where wrong about that, so they have to write new code for the red sprinkler. This is not easy or quick to do. We are not talking about a quick fix of going in and changing the time from 24 hours to 20 hours that only requires a line or two of code to be changed we are talking about writing lots of code to give people what they want. That takes time and can not be done over night. I do think it would be great of the developers to say that they are working on that but it will take some time to do it but they haven't and communications is not their strong suit. I am sure the brown sprinkler will be back soon we will just have to wait till the developers can get it worked out.
