Research & tech tree
To craft the Watch Tower you first need its blueprint: either research a found copy at a Research Table, or unlock it through the workbench Tech Tree.

7 Repair when placed
A damaged Watch Tower can be repaired where it stands with a hammer. Repairing it from nothing to full costs:
Hammer Placed repair
×125 Damage type Reduction Damage taken
Arrow 100% 0%
Radiation 100% 0%
Bite 99% 1%
Blunt 98% 2%
Bullet 97% 3%
Heat 90% 10%
Stab 90% 10%
Slash 80% 20%
Explosion 10% 90%
Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.
