The Search Tower is essential to any town as it greatly improves the number of resources that can be found near the town.

Each day storms occur in one direction (with town as the central point). Each zone in this direction will individually have a low chance of undepleting. Buildings are treated separately from the zone they are in. Before the search tower is constructed the direction of the storms is unknown. As of Season 2, the storms have a minimum distance of ? km from town.

Use

• Building the search tower reveals what direction today's storms occurred in with a statement in the Gazette.
  • Upgrading the tower improves the chance that a zone replenishes.
