I can understand that.
But
Let's say Jason adds Watering Cans tho.
Possibly requiring wooden buckets to make, would changing that multiple purpose bucket to a item with one, worth it? Especially if you need to add onto that item and it might make QoL better. Could also end up with watering cans being mobile sprinklers that run off the player using it. Taking jobs away from those who want to help.
Making things too easy.

I don't think that things were too easy on server 1 or server 2 during the September sale (wondible streamed and didn't check a custom server, neither did new players who streamed on YouTube, I think).  From the little I've watched of Twisted's video, and he checked bigserver2 as a custom server, during that sale weekend things were not too easy by any stretch of the imagination on bigserver2 either.

Jason's dream is to have all of his 16 servers filled with players.  Eves only spawn every so often.  And if all of the servers were filled, probably almost all, or most of them would either be new players, casuals, or roleplayers.  If you have a convincing argument that under those conditions watering cans would make the game "too easy", then by all means detail it.  But, I think if you took those conditions seriously, I think the idea that watering cans would make things "too easy" falls apart very, very quickly.


The issue was having 500+ new players flood into the game, regardless if we had watering cans, they couldn't make it passed Eve camp.  The non-easy part about that was not having enough people to teach newer players.


We're already running on a diesel engine wells in most towns on Bs2. Bs2 at the moment is where a majority of the players are at, and we still don't use sprinklers. It creates too much produce for the population, and people end up standing around doing absolutely nothing.
They're choosing not to use sprinklers even though they're beneficial and it gives them more time and freedom.
I just see watering cans going down a similar road.
Couldn't be sure unless they were added and played with by the whole Bs2.
I could be very much wrong, but I don't see a point in them. They'll either give you too much water, or not enough to waste a bucket.

I just think y'all *want* watering cans.

If that's the case, we should fight for something we actually need.
