I know that people can forget sometimes, and I guess watering your plants/pumpkins isn't excluded in the list of things we can forget, and the quality of the products goes down, so I propose the new items called plant watering bots. These watering bots can be toggled to start watering for you or stop watering. The first one I have is at pixpet.net/u/metal_man&section=userpage_gallery&i=701&title=Pixpet-Gallery---Mobile-Plant-Watering-Bot which goes around the room it's placed in and uses the built-in spray to water your plants whenever they reach the dry state. The second one I have at pixpet.net/u/metal_man&section=userpage_gallery&i=702&title=Pixpet-Gallery---Stationary-Plant-Watering-Bot can water your plants, but it does not move at all and can only water adjacent plants, but it is more common, but still kinda rare. I hope you like the suggestion!

When deactivated, the bots have no eyes.

(Sorry if I got the category wrong.)

That’s an interesting idea. But I think it’s too op. It’s like the login chain holder argument. Maybe it could be like a one time item and you have to find another watering machine. And the word bot makes me think of the computer bots...

I like this idea, and I also like @icearashi's idea of these being single-use items. This could be a solution for players who've wanted auto-watering, but without eliminating an important aspect of the game that's intended to make players return. I wonder what the best way to acquire them would be, though. Maybe it could be both a super rare hoard item, and a PPT shop item.

oh! yeah I agree we could use automatic plant waterers. A robot is an awesome idea but a regular sprinkler would be neat too. Maybe even some kind of auto harvester to go with it?

I think, having it run on some kind of fuel would make more sense than single-use versions. And yeah not only should plant auto-managers be expensive and hard to obtain, they should also require continuous fuel, and maybe one bot only covers say, 3 plants, so you'd have to get multiples.

so yeah to prevent someone from just not logging in for weeks while their auto-waterers and harvesters just work away infinitely, they'd instead eventually run out of fuel (which could maybe come from pumpkins, or could just be pixcoin. Maybe you could buy bottles of fuel for SPC) and stop working. And also a full load of fuel could last for maybe a week tops.

As for them being items you place in your house... hmmm... I'm not a game dev myself so idk what'd be more efficient, but I feel like maybe revamping the plant and pumpkin cultivating pages to have sections where you can assign bots to your plants would overall be better for both player and dev alike to manage. But that's just an assumption, I got no actual dev experience

You are right that it needs a fuel, so I guess we can have batteries, but they will be a little rare. The stationary watering bot can use 2 batteries, and the mobile watering bot uses 4 batteries because it can go around rooms. I might also make an auto harvester bot to go with it. One for pumpkins and one for plants.
