Well, I still don't understand.
12, 24, 54, I'll bite.
100 ? Does it water 10 at a time ? That'd just be awfully clumsy, no ._. ? And if it's 11 patches of 9, then why not 99 -___-
As for 162, I can understand. You could water 9 patches of 18 or 18 patches of 9, however it's going to work.
It just seemed a bit confusing!
Then again, thanks for the reply =p And I'll ask if I ever run into more questions. 100: Waters 25 patches (5x5) at a time when fully charged. 162: Waters 81 patches (9x9) at a time when fully charged. They kinda expect people to not plant 3x3 patches all the time for some odd reason. [quote="Numarkoth"]Yeah.

I have my watering can <<dirty trick>>'d to maximum capacity, and it's perpetually at 30. If that helps. (Also, this is in RF2...don't think you ever specified which game.)

12 doesn't make a ton of sense, 9 should be more like it to me, at first.
9, then 18, then 54.
Would make more sense to me ._.
That being said : thanks for the reply! =p Well, the thing is, 12 is divisible by 1 (you are watering one tile at a time), while 24 is divisible by 3 (you are watering 3 squares at a time). This is not completely arbitrary. [quote="Numarkoth"]Well, either way.

Do the next ones follow the same pattern ? Will I end up with 96/192 water power =p ? Watering cans in RF1 hold 12, 24, 54, 100, and 162 tiles worth of water at each respective tier. 48 is wrong. It also does not make sense for the Lion Waterpot as it waters a 3x3 area, and 48 is not divisible by 9. Be careful when using extrapolation. Especially if you are doing exponential extrapolation instead of linear extrapolation.  Furthermore, programmers are usually rather leery of exponential growth, unless it's for stuff that limits the player like XP requirements. Edit: Ninja'ed eryn.hacken wrote: yes No, they do not.
