Thermal Plant (Subnautica)

The Thermal Plant is a generator crafted with the Builder that converts nearby high temperatures (>15°C) into Energy. The Thermometer can be used to find areas to utilize for this purpose. It can also be damaged, and will be destroyed if struck ten times with the Survival Knife.

The Thermal Plant can produce limitless power for Seabases given time and proximity to heat. One Thermal Plant can store up to fifty energy at a time.

Lava Geysers are optimal spots to place Thermal Plants. Near the center of the geyser, temperatures can reach well over 50°C, meaning that a well-placed plant can produce power rapidly and around the clock. One must take care that the plant itself is not damaged by the eruptions.

Currently it only produces energy in some Game Modes.

The current model is a placeholder.
