I have just experience a case of repeated instant breakage of garden sprinklers. I had four of the 360 degree jobs in a single greenhouse and they were breaking faster than they could be fixed. I tried replacing them ... no good. New ones borked instantly as well.
I forced an error and the log is available here

As I use the Director's Cut and life is too short for reading awesome file lists I just noticed that the above hack is no longer in the DC. Iis Pes using bullet-proof plumbing of his own design? If so, are less well-equipped plebs such as moi, advised to continue using plumbing-breakless or is my game even more borked than I thought since the plumbing does seem to be breaking more now than a while back.
