Clarify and extend tips to upgrading

Line 1: Line 1:

'''Tools''' help you do things in the world. You can carry them with you in your backpack for ready use, or store them in a [[chest]] when not immediately needed. You can upgrade your tools at the [[Blacksmith#Upgrade Tools|Blacksmith]] for money and metal bars (or raw ore), with upgrades taking two days to complete. During the upgrade, you can't buy anything or ask [[Clint]] to break open geodes. Tools must go in ascending order of materials in order to upgrade. Copper tools can't be upgraded directly to iriduim, etc.

Tip: The practical meaning of an upgrade "taking two days to complete" is that you will wake up on two successive days without your tool. (It is at the blacksmith's.) This means that on the day you bring it in to be upgraded, you may first use the tool for any number of hours, so long as you hand it over to the blacksmith before the shop's closing time. You will then have one complete day without the tool. The second day, you may retrieve the upgraded tool at any time after the shop opens, and then use it freely. Thus, "two days" does not end up meaning exactly 48 hours, but something less than that. It is somewhat clearer to think of it as two nights.

==Watering Cans==

−

Used to water crops. It can be refilled at any body of water, or at a well. ~~Upgrading watering can changes what left click does; for example, hold down left click to increase areas of effect.~~

+

Used to water crops. Any can can be refilled at any body of water, or at a well. Spending a day without watering your plants will delay or wither your crops. If it is raining, crops do not need to be watered.

−

~~Watering larger areas cost the '''same water and stamina''' as if you were to water them manually, so this is recommended for large amounts of watering.~~

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

Tip: Upgrading the watering can requires some planning, as it takes two days to upgrade, which means at least one full day without being able to water one's crops. The best times to upgrade the watering can are when it is not needed: starting the upgrade when the forecast predicts rain the next day, during winter when crops don't grow, or at the end of the season when crops will die anyway.

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.

+

Watering a larger area with one left-click costs the '''same water and stamina''' as if you were to water one tile with a quick click, so using the sustained effect is recommended when you have large amounts of watering to do.

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.
