This revolutionary defensive device fires powerful jets of water vapor into the ranks of zombies approaching our walls. With some additional adjustments, this will be an exceptionally powerful defence! | |

By far the most straightforward defensive build yet, let's just pray our well doesn't dry out.
The Water Turrets add some base defence and can be upgraded to add more.
Use
Upgrades only provide additional defence if there is enough water in the well to power them. If you don't have enough water for your current level the turrets will fall back to level 0 (60 defence), not to the level that you can afford. E.g. you have Water Turrets level 5 but only 4 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.
Please note that daily upgrades are applied before determining if the Water Turrets work or not. Examples:
- 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 (60 defence).
- If you have Water Turrets level 5 with no water in the well and you have voted for a Pump upgrade that will give 20 water rations then the water is added to the well before the attack. Then the Water Turrets will function at level 5 (giving 300 defence) and consume 12 water rations so you will have only 8 water rations the next day.
Also note that your displayed town defence only includes any defence from turret upgrades if you have enough water in the bank. An example is 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".
