Hydrobot watering veggies

So do the corner plots that are only partly in the sprinker area get watered up to level 5 as well?
All plots within the green squares of the sprinkler are watered equally. The spheroid is purely graphical., a 4x4 sprinkler covers the entire 4x4 area even though the corners may appear to receive poor coverage.

Baaa - I'll pass that on - I bet I'm not the only one wondering if the corners are getting full coverage.
I downloaded a TSR challenge lot where the sprinkers were set up overlapping and covered the fruit trees too.
You don't need to water the trees at all surely.
The TSR challenge was the McDonalds; it was a lot of fun and took ages as I stuck with the spirit of it, gave hubby an LTW of marry off 6 kids (instead of 6 grandkids which doesn't working in my game) and had them pop out another 4 kids on top of the pair they had. Getting a continually pregnant sim a top level home farm business took a long time!

baa from me too. i thought overlapping sprinklers might cause those pathetic dripping plants.
however, using sprinkers together with macro-garden does sometimes result in overwatering of plants in greenhouses.

Macro Garden will not cause overwatering of plants even when used with sprinklers, as Macro-Garden specifically detects the presence of sprinklers and deliberately abstains from watering if a sprinkler is present, although watering remains open as a sprinkler only raises water to 5 (overwatered is something around 40), and thus may do light watering for badgepoints if not gold.
Macrotastics *IS* programmed to intentionally drown plants for the health boost before harvesting, however, so this could be what you're seeing. It will not, however, normally overwater plants, unless you ordered it to Skillinate Gardening (in which it overwaters purely to gain badge points).
The damage inflicted by overwatering is considered to be relatively minor when the cause of the overwatering is manual. However, in pre-patch versions of the game, indoor plants can be overwatered by rain if you do not install the indoor plant fix.

i am also playing that lot, the lag on my computer from playing a large lot is awful though. i deleted most of the sprinklers (orchard trees do NOT need watering as you say) and rearranged the greenhouse, the layout was pathetic. also, the house is at least twice as big as it needs to be.
