The Thermal Plant is a generator crafted with the Habitat Builder that converts nearby high temperatures (>15°C) into Energy. It can also be damaged, and will be destroyed if struck ten times with the Survival Knife. Before it can be constructed the player must scan 2 Thermal Plant Fragments with the Scanner. The fragments can be found in the Grand Reef, Dunes or in Wrecks. It only affects power in Freedom, hardcore, and survival modes.
