RoadCraft's campaign explores different parts of the world, redeveloping land ravaged by natural disasters, and restoring power to old facilities to help refuel various regions. Within the game's first hour, you'll discover an abandoned facility containing a generator, with your first task being to find and recover it.
There are many moving parts to this task initially. You'll need to find this generator and figure out how to bring it to the facility's main base. Here's how to find and recover the Abandoned Facility's generator in RoadCraft.

Abandoned Facility location in RoadCraft
You'll find the Abandoned Facility directly southeast of the Forward Base you visited earlier in RoadCraft's Precipice campaign mission. As you traveled from the Phosphate Plant to the Forward Base, you'll now find an additional quest circle south of you, past Orange Grove and a Pumping Station.
The easiest way to access this spot is to use the road connecting the Forward Base to the facility. It curves slightly and has muddy terrain, but it's mostly a straight shot down to where you need to go. If you get stuck, you can turn on all-wheel drive and diff-lock to make escaping easier.
Generator location in RoadCraft
Before you can fully recover the Abandoned Facility's generator, you'll need to deliver an object from within the area's half-built structures. As you drive into the facility and use your Object Scanner to track nearby items, you'll spot a box atop the building's western wing.
However, you'll also quickly notice that you can't just drive up to the item and retrieve it. Instead, we've got a mini obstacle course to tackle, introducing you to interactive environments.
Start from the wall directly west of the box, drive southeast down the dirt path until you spot a ramp. In front of this ramp is a wooden board with yellow and black tape across it, which you can drive into to access the building.
You'll notice two paths as you drive up the ramp and look to your left. One leads up a ramp to a second wooden board, while the other has an additional board. Your safest bet is to drive up the ramp, lightly tap the board without flying off the edge, then reverse back down and flip the other to create a ramp-bridge combo. You can also use your car's winch system to navigate the area or help flip your car over if you accidentally drive off a ledge.
Now that you've tackled this obstacle, you have direct access to the generator, letting you use your Winch to pull it behind you. As you turn to leave, you'll spot a fourth wooden board to your left that, when pushed, will lead you down another ramp to the abandoned facility's quest area.
Once you bring the generator to the abandoned facility's quest circle, you'll complete your current objective, rewarding you with 1,200 XP and 2,520 cash. However, this is only half the battle: you now have to deliver the generator back to the Phosphate Plant.
How to deliver the generator to the Phosphate Plant in RoadCraft
Delivering the generator back to the Phosphate Plant requires creating a route between the two locations. Earlier in RoadCraft's campaign, you did this with the Forward Base and the Phosphate Plant, letting you link the two for some passive income. Now, you're doing the same thing, but with some tougher terrain and over double the distance.
The key to routing paths in RoadCraft is following road lines. However, just because a car has driven a path doesn't mean it's the best course for your particular route. That said, here's the exact route I used during my playthrough:
The first step was determining whether to head west or north of the Abandoned Facility. At first, I tried west, only to realize roadblocks prevented the trucks from leaving. Fortunately, the northern path is safe, letting us cross through its gate and along the road without any trouble.
The only other spot you may have trouble with is at the Phosphate Plant itself. Although there's a path leading through a gate, it's closed, preventing you from entering unless you go in and open it later with your car's winch system. I did this to shorten the route, but you can also use the northern entrance until you open the southern gate later.
Once you connect both sections, test your route and tweak things as needed until it succeeds. The only other factors you need to look out for are 90-degree turns in your path and veering too far off the road, which can cause the trucks to pause partway through.
