Watering Can
Your starting tool for watering growing crops, which cuts 25% off the time they have left to ripen.
The Watering Can is a Common tool that waters your growing crops. Watering cuts 25% off the time a crop has left to grow, so one splash can save you minutes on a slow crop.
How to Get
The opening tutorial puts the Watering Can in your toolbar, along with the Shovel, the Hammer, and 5 Wheat Seeds. See Getting Started. You cannot sell it or delete it.
How to Use
Select the Watering Can
Pick it in your toolbar.
Choose a growing crop
Interact with a planted crop in your garden that has not been watered yet.
Know the limit
Each crop can be watered once per harvest. Once it is watered, the can will not work on it again until you harvest it and it starts a new round.
Rain waters your crops for you, so you do not need the can while it is raining. Water orbs also keep the crops in their range watered. See Water Orb.
Tips
- Water early. The 25% cut applies to the time a crop has left, so watering a crop right after you plant it saves the most.
- A crop that is ripe cannot be watered, and neither can a crop that is already watered.
- Place an orb near your crops to keep them watered all the time.
