How to Use Sprinklers on Moving Contraptions

Mounting Sprinklers to Contraptions

Sprinklers are not limited to stationary pipe networks; they function fully when assembled onto moving Create contraptions. This makes them ideal for building mobile farming rigs that sweep across large fields.

To construct a mobile sprinkler system:

1. Build your moving contraption chassis using your chosen Create movement blocks.

2. Mount fluid tanks onto the contraption frame to store your liquid supply.

3. Place Sprinklers along the underside of the contraption, facing down toward the crops or ground.

4. Pipe the contraption's fluid tanks directly into the mounted Sprinklers.

Triggering Moving Dispersion Effects

Unlike stationary units that spray continuously in one spot, Sprinklers on a moving contraption apply their fluid effects whenever the contraption shifts into a new block space.

• If your onboard tanks carry Liquid Fertilizer, the Sprinklers apply bonemeal effects to crops row by row as the machine advances.
• If supplied with Water, the machine marks each ground block as wet and raining as it passes overhead.

Ensure your onboard tanks are kept filled before sending the contraption across your farming plots.
