Greenhouse Plant Capacity: The Impact of Sprinklers
The number of plants you can cultivate significantly depends on your use of sprinklers. While they're a time-saving investment, their placement directly affects your overall planting capacity.

Here's a breakdown of sprinkler requirements for optimal coverage:
- Quality Sprinklers: Sixteen are needed, occupying twelve inner tiles.
- Iridium Sprinklers: Six are required, using four inner tiles.
- Iridium Sprinklers (with Pressure Nozzles): Four cover the entire area, using only two inner tiles. Alternatively, five can be used, occupying a single tile.
Strategic sprinkler placement, including the wooden border, is key to maximizing your yield. With careful planning, you can consistently harvest a maximum of 120 crops annually, dramatically increasing your farm's profitability.
