The Power Plant is a large radioactive monument, instantly recognizable by its two cooling towers. It is one of the four big keycard monuments (alongside Airfield, Water Treatment and Train Yard) and runs a red keycard puzzle, with a fuse to place to power the locked door, leading to elite loot.
Scientists patrol the interior and radiation is high in the core buildings, so radiation protection and armour are essential. A recycler sits on-site for breaking down components.
Power Plant rewards players who can manage the radiation and NPCs with a reliable mix of mid-to-high tier loot, scrap and components. Its dense, multi-building layout makes it tense to clear when other players are nearby.
Because every map here is a plain, unmodified Rust world, Power Plant spawns exactly where the game places it for a given seed and world size. Browse generated maps to see real monument layouts, or generate your own and check the monument list on the map page.
