We study the dynamics of towers defined by fixed points of renormalization for Feigenbaum polynomials in the complex plane with varying order $\ell $ of the critical point. It is known that the measure of the Julia set of the Feigenbaum polynomial is positive if and only if almost every point tends to $0$ under the dynamics of the tower for corresponding $\ell $. That in turn depends on the sign of a quantity called the drift. We prove the existence and key properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for tower dynamics as well as their convergence when $\ell $ tends to $\infty $. We also prove the convergence of the drifts to a finite limit, which can be expressed purely in terms of the limiting tower, which corresponds to a Feigenbaum map with a flat critical point.
