Each tool upgrade also makes the tool more efficient by decreasing the amount of energy required to accomplish a given task, sometimes by increasing the amount of work done by a single tool use. The effects are independent of and additional to the efficiencies provided by skill levels. They are, however, specific to each tool's operation and the boosts that the upgrades give. In fact, if an advanced tool is using the specific operation that is added with the copper upgrade, then that operation receives the same efficiency boost you would get with a copper tool. For that one tool use, an iridium tool is not different from a copper tool. More details may be found in the specific tools articles.

While strictly speaking, fishing poles are not upgradeable, but only replaceable with higher-grade tools, it still requires energy to use them. The bamboo pole may be thought of as comparable to an original-grade farm tool, the fiberglass rod as comparable to a steel-grade tool, and the iridium rod to an iridium-grade tool.

The bamboo pole may be thought of as comparable to a base-grade farm tool, the fiberglass rod as comparable to a steel-grade tool, and the iridium rod to an iridium-grade tool.

Used to water crops. A crop plant does not grow on a day it is not watered. If it is raining, the rain waters all crops without use of the watering can.

Tip: Using [[Fertilizer#Types of Fertilizer|Retaining Soil]] may keep your crops watered for another day.

Any can can be refilled at any body of water, or at a well. It costs no energy to refill the can.
      
Upgrading the watering can changes what a sustained left click does: you hold down the left click to increase the can's areas of effect. After multiple upgrades, hold the left click longer to increase the effect level by level and release for effect when you arrive at your chosen level.

Tip: Upgrading the watering can requires some planning, as you face one full day unable to water your crops, plus some hours on the days before and after, as well as travel twice to the blacksmith shop. The best time to upgrade the watering can is when it is not needed. Bring it in for upgrade when the weather forecast predicts rain the next day, or on the 27th day of any season. Remember that if you cannot harvest your crops on the 28th, they will die when the season ends anyway. Of course, if you have planted a crop that grows across the two seasons, it will still want watering as usual, so you will either need to skip it for a day, or look for rain instead.
