Detecting alien materials and a massive local energy mass in the 1,000 megawatt range.

― PDA, Dialogue

The Alien Thermal Plant (ATP) is the smallest of the four Alien Bases. It can be found in the Inactive Lava Zone, within the Lava Castle. It was built around one thousand years ago.

The generator is the source of power for most of the Alien technology on Planet 4546B.

There are two locked doors inside the facility, both of which require Purple Alien Tablets to unlock. Behind the first door is the Blue Alien Tablet, which is used to access the Primary Containment Facility. Behind another door are three data terminals, one of which unlocks the Blueprints for the Ion Battery and Ion Power Cell. There is also an Ion Cube Pyramid located inside.

Alien Robots roam inside the base, acting as a hazard for the Player.

This system converts thermal energy to electric current at 90% efficiency. Some of this energy is chemically stored onsite, while unknown mechanisms appear to be transferring most of it to remote locations elsewhere on the planet: 30% Stored onsite for emergency use 30% Ground-to-air Quarantine Enforcement Platform 22% Primary Containment Facility 11% Disease-Research Facility 7% Self-Warping Quarantine Enforcer Units The system appears to be fully automated and - given current understanding of the mechanisms involved - uninterruptible.
