The Basic Sprinkler is a rare gear that's obtainable in the Gear Shop.
Upon placing the Basic Sprinkler, every plant in the radius of the sprinkler will grow faster and produce larger crops. Specifically, crops receive a 1.25× size multiplier (+0.25 when stacking additively with other sprinkler types). There is a small chance for a plant in the radius of the sprinkler to obtain the Wet mutation. When placed down, the basic sprinkler lasts 5 minutes before disappearing.
