NOTE: This pattern tiles/scales very easily, and you can build out a huge farm using only this pattern without having to even bother with irrigation pipes. Like this, where x = farm block, o = rain catcher, and. What I do early on is place four sets of nine farm plots each in a square, with three open blocks of gap between, and place a single rain catcher in the center, as it will eventually flood the area enough to reach all 36 farm plot blocks. Just make sure that you have some means in place to contain the water because a single rain catcher can eventually cover a roughly 20-block area with water. Since irrigation pipes are ridiculously expensive until you have iron/steel production going full tile (20 forged iron per pipe gets pricey in a hurry!), the early-game path to farming glory relies on having a rain catcher two blocks away from your farm plots so its generated water blocks don't flood the plot. Otherwise, they only grow during rain, and of course farm plot plants will only grow where they have an unobstructed vertical space to the skybox above the plot block - in-building/underground farming requires master farmer unlocks. You need to have a water block, or irrigation pipe connected to an irrigation pump that touches a water block, within four blocks (in any direction, including vertically) of a farm plot for the plant to grow at full speed.
