Roadcraft‘s disaster-struck environment forces you to scavenge for various resources to restore the habitat, and this requires some rare resources. One such rare resource is the generator that will allow you to restore power to the affected structures and facilities. This will be one of your primary tasks in the game as you start resuming functionality across the various industries.
However, finding and recovering the generator can be a bit tricky if you’re not sure about where to look for it. The generator is located at the Abandoned Facility POI on the map, and you will need to use your Object Scanner to find the generator once you reach the POI. We have the entire process covered for you, including the specific directions that you need to follow.
Here’s how you can find and restore the generator in Roadcraft at the Abandoned Facility.
Abandoned Facility in Roadcraft
The Abandoned Facility is located towards the southeast of the Forward Base that you first access during the starting stages of the game. However, once you make your way to the Forward Base from the Phosphate Plant, you will unlock a new regional area to your south, featuring the Orange Grove as well as the Pumping Station.
The Abandoned Facility is located inside the Pumping Station, and the easiest way to access it is by using the road connecting it to the Forward Base. Although the terrain isn’t the best, it is still a direct path that will save you time and effort.
Location of the Generator at the Abandoned Facility
Once inside the Abandoned Facility, you will need to use your Object Scanner to locate the generator. You should look towards the upper part of the building to locate a container sitting on the top floor of the structure. Once you have spotted the container using the Object Scanner, you will need to jump back into your car and start heading over to where the generator is stored.
Head over to the southwest side of the vicinity and drop the raised ramp to create a path for yourself. You will be able to spot this ramp as it is covered in black and yellow tape. After crossing the ramp, you will find two separate paths on your left, one of which leads to a wooden board via a ramp. This is the most ideal path that you should take.
However, you will need to push the ramp down to connect it with the wooden board above, and you must do this very carefully, without breaking the ramp with too much force. Once you have secured this ramp, drive back down and carefully push the first ramp to create a bridge between the two. Be careful not to drive off the ledge or apply too much pressure while setting up the ramps.
Once the ramp bridge is ready, you will be able to drive to the generator and use your winch to attach it to the back of your vehicle. Once connected to your vehicle, you will have to spot a fourth wooden board towards your left.
Pushing this down will lead to another ramp into the Abandoned Facility’s quest area, and driving into this area will secure the first part of your quest, rewarding you with 1,200 XP and 2,520 cash. However, you must drive the generator back to the Phosphate Plant to claim the rest of the rewards from this quest.
Deliver the generator to the Phosphate Plant
Although there are direct roads connecting the Phosphate Plant to the Abandoned Facility in Roadcraft, the terrain, as well as the placement of obstacles and gates, can make it a bit difficult to navigate, especially in the early stages of the game. Once you get out of the Abandoned Facility, it is wise to drive on the road leading north towards the Phosphate Plant.
There shouldn’t be any obstacles on this route except for when you finally arrive at the Phosphate Plant’s southern gate. This gate is closed from the start of the game and can only be opened from the inside using your car’s winch. So, in case this is your first trip through the southern gate of the Phosphate Plant, you will find it closed.
Head over through the northern gate at the facility and ensure to unlock the southern gate for any future trips that you might make in that direction. Given that this quest is a fairly early one in Roadcraft, there are quite a few things that you will get to experience for the first time, such as the Object Scanner, interactive obstacles, and environments.
