Line 35:
Line 35: − + − Fortunately, in the optimal configuration only 4 tiles are lost, leaving ~97% of the useful area to be used. This is mostly thanks to the fact that sprinklers can be placed on the wooden railing bordering the farmable area.+ − − Due to the odd dimensions, there are many different ways to locate sprinklers in the greenhouse. Below are some possible sprinkler arrangements that achieve optimal coverage while limiting the number of squares that are covered. Note that in each case some sprinklers have to be located on the wooden border. − + − +

===Sprinkler Arrangement===
If you intend to use [[Equipment#Sprinklers|automated sprinklers]] to water crops, some soil tiles will have to be sacrificed to place the sprinklers. This is due to the fact that the growing area is too large for any sprinkler to water the center from any edge.
If you intend to use [[Equipment#Sprinklers|automated sprinklers]] to water crops, some soil tiles must be sacrificed to place the sprinklers. The growing area is too large for any sprinkler to water the center from any edge. In addition, the 12-by-10 shape of the farmable area cannot be covered only with the square shapes of sprinkler watering.
The many possibilities yield various optimal sprinkler placements that cover the soil tiles while using the fewest possible sprinklers in plantable locations. Some sprinklers are inevitably placed on the wooden border. With iridium sprinklers, only 4 crop spaces (3.3%) must be taken, while with quality sprinklers, 12 crop spaces (10%) are occupied.
