Notes

• In Season 4:
  • The resource cost dropped from Water Ration×60 to Water Ration×40.
  • Later the base provided dropped from 70 to 10.
• In Season 6:
  • The base provided increased from 10 to 70.
  • The resource cost increased from Water Ration×40 Copper Pipe×1 to Water Ration×40 Copper Pipe×7.
  • The rarity of the building increased from Construction Blueprint (uncommon) Construction Blueprint (uncommon) to Construction Blueprint (rare) Construction Blueprint (rare).
• In Season 7:
  • Building the Water Turrets Water Turrets provides a 20% effectiveness boost on water-based weapons used to defend the town as Watchmen Watchman.
• Upgrades only provide additional defence if there is enough water in The Well The Well to power them.
  • If you don't have enough water for your current level the turrets will fall back to level 0 (10 ), not to the level that you can afford.
  • For example, if you have Water Turrets level 5 but only 4 rations of water in the well, then the Water Turrets will not fall back to level 2 that you can afford, but it will work as level 0 instead.
• The daily upgrades are applied before determining if the Water Turrets work or not.
  • If you have Water Turrets level 4 and you have voted to upgrade it to level 5 with 9 rations in the well, then the Water Turrets will not be level 4 during the attack but level 5. Because you have insufficient water for that, it will fall back to level 0 (10 ).
  • If you have Water Turrets level 5 with no water in the well and you have voted for a Pump Pump upgrade that will give 20 water rations then the water is added to The Well The Well before The Attack The Attack. Then the Water Turrets will function at level 5 (giving 350 ) and consume 12 water rations so you will have only 8 water rations the next day.
• The displayed town defence only includes any defence from turret upgrades if you have enough water in The Bank The Bank.
  • For example, if your town has turrets level 2 but no water in the bank to power them. The town's defences will display as "x". If you add 4 water rations to the well, your town's total defences will display as "x+98".
