Generator

The source of power for prisons

Summary

The Generator is the power source of the prison, and allows Cameras, Metal Detectors, and Electric Fences to function. Prisons containing any of these three structures will likely have a Generator as well. Generators are usually behind locked doors, requiring Keys or Plastic Keys of different colors to open them. The doors usually require Red (Staff) or Cyan/Orange (Utility) keys. In K.A.P.O.W Camp the generator has no key door but it has a purple key blocking it.

Usage

Generator status is indicated by the green/red light and can be shut down temporarily by clicking on it. This will power down the electric structures (and the lights!) for a short time until the Generator restarts. Because of this, it is recommended to bypass electric fences close to the Generator. The Generator will produce a large sound when it comes online after 1 in-game hour. Often, the first signal of the Generator reactivating is the lights in the prison turning back on.

Map

On the map, the generator room will be symbolized by a lightning bolt of energy.
