Alien Thermal Plant

The Precursor Thermal Power Generator is the smallest of the four Precursor Bases and will be found in the Inactive Lava Zone, within the Lava Castle. It was built around one thousand years ago.

The generator seems to be the source of power for most of the Precursor technology on the planet.

The power is transferred by means of the precursor cables that can be seen all around the exterior of the Precursor Bases. While these cables seem to be used for structural support it is implied that they are also used to transfer power from the Precursor Thermal Power Generator to the other bases'''. '''Evidence to suggest this includes the fact that the cables lead from the power storage cubes along side the Precursor Array into the base itself and since the cables are the only thing connecting the battery to the base then it must be transferring power. Another piece of evidence to suggest this is that there is a cable running from the base and through the Mountain Island caves leading to the Precursor Teleporter stationed in the cavern chamber, along the way the cable also goes through lighting fixtures seeming to power them. If these cables were only designed for structural support then it wouldn't make sense for them to be running through a cave on land. It was also stated by developer Cory Strader that the cables are "multi-purpose" and that the cable leading through the mountain island caves is most certainly a power cable.

Future Plans

 * Drillable Ion crystals will be found in this base.
 * The thermal generator itself will be scannable to reveal the log seen above.
 * Signal for "Alien Thermal Plant".
