About Watering

Pals ranked by their Watering work suitability level (1–8). Higher levels finish tasks faster and unlock advanced station tiers.

Watering is the work suitability that runs your farms — Berry Plantations, Wheat Plantations, Tomato Plantations, and similar — plus a few cooling-related stations. Without a Watering-suitable Pal assigned to each plantation, crops stop growing. Late-game bases that feed multiple Pals plus the player typically run two to four plantations in parallel; budget at least one Lv 3+ Watering Pal per base.

Structures that need Watering: Crusher, Mill.

Practical tips

  • One Pal per plantation slot — adding a second Watering Pal to the same plot does NOT speed it up. Add a second plantation instead.
  • Pair every Plantation with a Pal having BOTH Planting (to seed) and Watering (to grow), or assign two separate Pals — one for each step.
  • Crops stop growing when the watering Pal is hungry or asleep. Keep a Cooler Box stocked nearby so the Pal cycles back to food fast.

Common questions

Can a Watering Pal also water nearby crops automatically?
No — assignment is per-station. The Pal walks between assigned plantations on its own; you can't queue work, only assign Pals to a slot.
Do I need a Water-element Pal for Watering?
Usually yes — almost every Watering Pal is Water-type, but a handful of dual-element Pals break the pattern. Always check the work-suitability badge, not the element.
