🚰 Irrigation System

Running a watering can through every wheat field twice a day is old news. Build yourself a cistern, run pipes out to your crops, drop a few sprinklers — and every server save, your fields water themselves.

How It Works

• Cistern — stores up to 1000L. Use a bucket of water on it to add 100L at a time (the bucket is not consumed, same as animal troughs). Rain automatically adds +300L to every cistern on the map.
• Pipes — connect the cistern to your sprinklers. Nine visual variants (straight, corners, junctions). Must be adjacent along N/S/E/W — no diagonals.
• Sprinkler — on every server save, waters the dry wheat and trees in the 3x3 around it. 10L per tile. Sprinklers also conduct water, so you can chain Cistern → Pipe → Sprinkler → Pipe → Sprinkler.

Building Requirements

• Cistern — 15 planks, 30 nails, 3 iron bars
• Pipe — 1 iron bar each
• Sprinkler — 4 iron bars

Place them via the Building Book under the new Irrigation category. The hammer deconstructs for half materials back, like any other furniture.

New Achievements

• Pipeline Pioneer — build your first cistern
• Master Plumber — lay 50 pipes
• First Drop — pour your first bucket of water into a cistern
• Auto-Farmer — have your irrigation system water 500 tiles

Bug Fixes

• Tree visuals — fixed the duplicate-sprite stack that could show up on some orange/mango trees after yesterday's rain system went live. Stage advance is now idempotent, and a cleanup sweep also runs on server restart to tidy any existing duplicates.
• Livestock Yard boot restore — fixed a database cursor bug that stopped the restore loop after the first stored pet, leaving some pets stranded at their pen positions. Every stored pet now restores correctly on startup.
• Client auto-updater — follow-up to yesterday's updater fix: the base otclient.exe is no longer deleted during cleanup. If your desktop shortcut broke as a result, reinstall the client once from the download page and you are good to go.
