Undead Patch Notes — Generators Findable via Explore
Portable generators are now rare explore finds in gas stations, warehouses, and broadcast stations; no craft recipe. Production also received an airdrop into varied buildings.
Date: 25 July 2026
Status: Live on production
Generators needed to restore building power used to be almost unreachable outside test/ops grants. They are now in the explore loot pools for specific building types (rare), and can also appear when those buildings replenish supplies.

1. Where you might find one
While exploring / scavenging these building types, there is a low chance to find 1 generator:
- Gas station
- Warehouse
- Broadcast station
Ordinary houses, pharmacies, and similar buildings do not drop generators from the explore pool. Weights are intentionally low—treat them as rare, not guaranteed.
Building supply replenishment for those types can also resurface a generator at low weight.

2. Use and limits
- Generators restore building power and need fuel
- There is no player craft recipe; obtain via explore or ops drops
- Item labels are localized in all six UI languages (no raw
itemIdleakage in docs/UI)
3. Production airdrop
Ops also placed generators into different buildings on the live world (airdrop batch), alongside the explore pool. You may loot an existing discovery or keep searching for the rare roll.
Try this
- Path toward a gas station, warehouse, or broadcast station.
- Explore / scavenge inside; do not expect a guaranteed drop.
- If you get a generator, follow the power + fuel rules in the player guide.
