Price check creating 5 ak-47's for my followers + 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

Price check adding two story watch towers to my ranch.
I'm gonna have to draw a line here. Guns and ammo are very complex objects that are hard to create as opposed to structures. Lots of delicate parts that have to be very precise. What you're asking would be somewhere in the 30-50 range for the ammo ALONE. better to provide the materials and workstations, then have your followers craft them when they have the right facilities. Besides, allowing you to just create guns devalues monsters, and that's no good!

What about the two story tower?
I would say roughly 2F, assuming it's 20 feet tall (1 story roughly equaling 10 feet) and is only large enough to hold 1-2 people at a time.

Can I make broodmother immobile monsters as a source of food and water for followers?

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

A detail I neglected to mention regarding TUO: if he is there, then you can see him, no matter where you're looking. If there's two people standing back-to-back, they can still both see him standing directly in front of him. Two people side-by-side, however, would see him in the same place.
I don't see how this matters as it's mostly cosmetic. also, distance would still apply and if he is far away, he might as well be a tiny speck.
I know. I just wanted you to be aware of it for the turn flavor text.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Accepted, and this also means we are full unless our reserved friend there doesn't post a sheet within about 5-6 more days.

Depends on if you want straight up regeneration or regen with a catch, such as requiring sunlight or consuming flesh.

What about recycling damaged monsters?

There are only two states of being for monsters and followers health wise while in combat: Alive and Dead. All the other statuses on followers only affect their fear generation to a extent with the baseline (no food and water, no shelter, no focused worship) being 1F per follower.

As such, damaged monsters do not technically exist, and regeneration traits will only reduce casualties caused during events and combat. This also means that there is nothing to recycle unfortunately, unless you plan on inventing necromantic spells at some point.

Also could you add a "requires sunlight" trait that reduces costs? or "edible"?

@RGN
You could add a weakness to prolonged darkness. Also, you could make a a immobile monster that produces meat/fruit and a second monster that produces water.
Monsterflesh isn't edible directly, since most of it is formed from energy rather than grown.

question, if I made the meatfruit trees(immobile, producer) vulnerable to fire, what would the cost change to?

Also, maybe "requires food" could be a good weakness for monster?

3 x 0.2 x 4 x 0.4 =0.96F, rounded up would be 1F per tree.

I don't think that would be a good weakness because I am using food, water and shelter as a fear boost mechanism more than a survival requirement.

By adding all negative traits (weakness, irritant, bane and immobile.) and broodmother you could have trees that grow in numbers for just 2F each. Make some and never worry about food or water again.

3 x 4 x 13 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.4 x 0.8 =1.99, rounded up would be 2 Fear for self-replicating trees.
