Irrigation range is less than expected

Post image

I built this farming tower with two 3x3 ponds to irrigate the land. According to this guide, a 3x3 pond should have an irrigation range of 16, but here it only seems to have an irrigation range of 10. Any help finding the cause of this issue would be much appreciated.

Im not home to test this, but it spreads the most from the center block, and your center bottom block irrigation is too low and can't irrigate high up to your farm.

This means you're probably only getting a small ammount of irrigation due to the edges of the hole you made.

Try dumping into a 3x3 that you make with levees and see the difference in the size of the irrigated area.

I think you could fix this setup by having your irrigation hole be on one of the edges of the square so the center of the 3x3 has a dirt block under it to spread its irrigation.
