Power Plant puzzle
Two switches, a green door, a fuse and a blue door — and since August 2026, the island power grid.

Overview
Power Plant asks for more sequencing than any other blue puzzle: a switch in one building, a switch and a timer in another, then a fuse and a blue swipe upstairs. Since the August 2026 Power Trip update the same monument is also the island electrical hub, which makes it the most contested blue puzzle on the map.
Flip the first switch in the garage building
Start at the garage building on the south-east side of the plant and flip the switch. It also powers the garage’s own green door. Nothing is on a timer yet.
Second switch and the timer — 60 seconds
Cross to the building on the north-west side. Flip the switch there, then the timer beside it. Both switches feed one AND gate, so the timer only works with both on — and it powers the green doors for 60 seconds.
- This starts the clock. Have the route to the main hall clear before you flip it.
Swipe green on the main building
Run to the large grey hall and swipe green at the ground-floor door. The same timer powers three green doors in this building; this is the one the route uses first.
Flip the ground-floor switch
Inside, flip the switch on the ground floor. It powers the fuse box in the control room upstairs.
Insert the fuse in the control room
Climb to the control room. The fuse box sits between the two blue doors — insert the Electric Fuse and both readers go live.
Swipe blue and loot fast
Swipe either blue door, clear the room and take the red keycard and the crates. Radiation spikes here even through a hazmat, so this is a grab-and-go.
- Radiation is at its worst here. Carry tea or pills.
Optional: the Heavy Fuse grid boxes
Since August 2026 the plant also holds the Heavy Fuse boxes that raise the island’s power stage. A seated Heavy Fuse cannot be removed. When the grid is powered, a loot room here opens with elite and military crates; it resets every 30 minutes.
- A seated Heavy Fuse is permanent. Pulling one damages you and it will not come out.
