What to know
- Crops watered with a watering can grow 2.5× faster than dry crops.
- You can create an infinite water source using a simple 2×2 pool.
- A deeper 2×2 “well” works the same and never runs out of water.
- Keeping water pools or small trenches near your farm can give an additional small growth benefit
Water is one of the most important tools for efficient farming in Hytale. By combining regular watering with an infinite refill source, you can dramatically speed up crop production and reduce downtime. Watering crops in Hytale boosts growth by 2.5×, and an infinite 2×2 water pool keeps your can refilled for faster, more efficient farming. This guide shows how to set up a simple infinite water source to maximize crop growth.
How to make water speed up crops
Watering is the quickest way to boost crop growth. Tilled soil with seeds will grow at a normal pace if left dry, but right-clicking the soil with a watering can applies water and gives a 2.5× speed boost. Watered crops visibly grow faster, making this an essential step for efficient food and material farming, and the effect can be further enhanced by using fertilizer.
How to make an infinite water pool
A simple 2×2 setup creates a permanent water source for your farm.
Step 1: Dig a 2×2 hole
Dig a square hole that is:
- 2 blocks wide
- 2 blocks long
- 1 block deep
This will be the base of your infinite water pool.
Step 2: Place water in diagonals
Using a bucket or Watering Can, place water in two diagonally opposite corners of the hole.
Example:
- Top-left corner
- Bottom-right corner
Step 3: Let it fill
The remaining corners will fill, turning all four into source blocks.
| Pattern | Why it’s fast |
|---|---|
| Water trench in the middle | Hydrates crops on both sides |
| Long straight rows | Easy harvesting and replanting |
| Multiple trenches | Scales for large farms |
Step 4: Expand into a well (optional)
If you want a nicer-looking or more accessible design:
- Dig the same 2×2 area 2–3 blocks deeper
- This creates a small well-style water source
- It functions exactly the same but looks more natural
Step 5: Refill your can
Right-click the water with your Watering Can. The pool will never run out.
How to use it for farming
This setup speeds farming up dramatically because it removes the constant back-and-forth of fetching water and ensures your soil never dries out. With an infinite source placed beside structured water trenches, every crop tile stays permanently hydrated, which directly improves growth speed and consistency.
You can expand fields instantly without worrying about bucket refills or uneven irrigation, turning water from a time-consuming chore into a background system that quietly keeps your farm running at maximum efficiency.
A good farm layout includes:
- Rows of crops
- Small water channels nearby
- An infinite pool within a few steps
This setup ensures maximum efficiency with minimal running around.
Tips for Farming in Hytale
- Build the pool as close to your farm as possible to save time.
- Upgrade the Farmer’s Workbench to unlock the fertilizer bag for faster growth.
- On multiplayer servers, one shared infinite pool works for everyone.
- If the pool behaves oddly, restarting the game can help.
Maximize your crop growth
Set up a 2×2 infinite water pool expanded into a small well next to your crops for constant refills. Water each tilled block to achieve 2.5× faster growth, and position nearby trenches or keep the pool close to give a small extra boost. This simple setup makes your farm fast, efficient, and effortless to maintain.
