Love the mod, amazing concept! After installing the mod mid-save, and having all of my fields suddenly dry up, I have one feature request though: allow sprinklers to be activated by right clicking them (and add a toggle for this feature in config.json). I'm well aware that there are other mods out there that do this, but they wont take the powered state of the sprinklers into account.
Work likes a charm, the only downside is the grid is local map restricted.
For any player who are struggle to make this mod work properly, you need to build water pipe (blue/cyan line like in the image of this mod) and power conduit ( yellow line from Simple Electricity System's image tab ) in order the mod too works which means you need to down load the mentioned mod too. This mod (Simple Irrigation System) adds water pump which creates water and transfer it along the line, but it needs electricity to work. That why many of you having problem when you build it accordingly but still got red minus number.
Here is a breifly guide:
1. Plan a head to see how much electricity you need base on Simple Electricity System's description tab by calculating the amount water you need to fuel your sprinkler. Once you calculate both water demand to build enough water pump (which need electricity) and then you calculate how much electricity you need.
2. Craft Water Pump and Electricity Source base on what you can afford, Solar Panel is mid-game, may be early late game. So the Charoal Kiln and the Furnace is sufficient enough, so you should plan on placing your Furnace and/or Charcoal Kiln outside your farm house.
3. Place it somewhere you see fit (less gap, less water pipes and power conduits need to be built). Then build the water pipe and water conduit accorddingly. The power conduit (yellow line) should connects all electrical machines, devices with power generator, especially the water pumps. The water conduit (blue or cyan color line) should connects to the sprinlkers.
You should also pay attention that the solar panel can't power your grid in rainy weather, that why i recommended you place couples of Charcoal Kiln or Furnace outside, or you can just install Utility Grid Storage, this mod add 3 craftable items which allows you to store exceeded water and electricity so you can use later, ie: in rainy weather incase you use Solar Panel.
The Pumps get unlocked at their respective levels but don't show up in Crafting Menu... Their textures when being unlocked are using placeholder tiles (Brick Floor Tiles).
In fact, it seems like none of the Utility mods are working/craftable save for Industrialization Add-on. I don't get any suspicious lines in the Logs as well. I could use the piping system however.
I had that problem too, I went poking around in the mod files & notice that the pumps also have an electricity requirement. However I did not have the electric grid mod installed. So in the changed the negative number to a positive one. i.e. set the pumps to "generate" rather than "consume" electricity, & it seemed to work then. The filepath you want is: Stardew Valley/Mods/SimpleIrrigationSystem/[CP] Simple Irrigation System/content.json Then just change the "electric" value for the pumps and/or sprinklers from the preset negative integer to a positive integer, I just changed it to 1 & it was fine.
This is an amazing mod and I love it, but one thing I've noticed is that the water doesn't seem to distribute or irrigate inside a greenhouse. It'll connect to sprinklers and those will auto function if hooked up, but even with an iridium pump there's no natural irrigation without it. Is this intentional? If so is this a setting that can be changed?
I love the *idea* of this mod, but the pumps never showed up in my crafting area. I am level 10 (downloaded/installed at level 5) farming and never got them. Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: Utility Grid Storage isn't working at the moment.

EDIT: Nvm, Custom Crafting Stations prevents DGA items to be crafted
