Sprinklers have no option to make them consume less water.

I noticed when playing of the grid that I kept getting notifications that I would get a water surplus and then would immediately loose it. It took sever IRL days to figure out that it was because my sprinklers were on. Which I didn’t know this so I’m going to explain how sprinklers work because they confused me until this.

On: Sprinklers run all the time

Off: Sprinklers only turn on once to water the plants

Disabled: Sprinklers never run.

I think three things need changed here.

1) We need it to be more clear how the sprinklers work

2)  I wish we had a breakdown on our bills or something on where our resources are going.

3) I wish that sprinklers had upgrades (if you own Eco Lifestyle) like water recycler to make them more water efficient.

 

Thoughts? I would love to hear what everyone here thinks and have some discussion about it!

    I meant a breakdown of what objects are using.

    e.g 

    Showers 5%
    Toilets 20%
    Sprinklers 50%

    ect.

    I would love to see an upgrade that makes it turn on for a short while and then back off again.

    As for your #2 about a breakdown on bills ect. We do actually have the ability to see that. 

    Click on the mailbox and select Show Bills Infomation

    Then it opens up the Bills & Utilities UI where you can see a Billing estimate and also so how much power/water you are roughly using. You are also able to store excess power/water or have it autosell to make some money if you have excess power/water.
