Irrigation system #
You can add an irrigation system to your home. The constructed system makes it possible to speed up the process of crop ripening by 10% (the stage of processing the agricultural field “Crop in the process of growth and maturation”) in the fields near the house. Fields that have an irrigation system attached will be seeded (or fertilized and then seeded) in priority order.
Prerequisites for construction #
To build an irrigation system, the following conditions must be met:
- house development level is 10 units or higher;
- the house is built on the territory of a principality in which the university has developed to level V or higher.

At the time of construction, the houseowner pays a fee to the prince in the amount of 0.4 gold coins and to the settlement owner on whose territory the house is located a fee of 0.1 gold coins. If the house is not attached to a settlement, then the owner only pays a fee to the prince.
Each irrigation system takes 96 hours to be constructed. You can start construction at the desired house on the “List of houses” page (“Real estate and renovation” → “List of houses”). To speed up construction, you can hire builders, completely similar to how you can speed up the construction of a house.
You can monitor the progress of construction on the “Build a house” page. The scale shows construction progress as a percentage relative to the total construction time.
Repair #
This building does not require periodic repairs.
Attaching the system to fields #
You can build several irrigation systems in a house, depending on its level, 1 system for every full 10 levels of the house. The irrigation system is immediately attached to 10 fields, without the possibility of transferring it to another field.
If at the time of building the system you have fertilized fields at your house, then the irrigation system will first be attached to them. If there are less than 10 fertilized fields, then the remaining fields will be selected randomly. If there are no fertilized fields, then all 10 fields for attachment will be randomly selected from all fields near the house.
The irrigation system is attached to the field once when being constructed and then cannot be transferred to another field. This means that even when starting a new agricultural cycle, the maturation boost will only apply to the fields that the system was originally assigned to.
