Generators and Gas Cans

How do generators work in Stillskin Forest?

Hold E at the generator's fuel cap with a Gas Can in your bag to add 5 min of fuel (one whole night), up to 10 min. Start it at the control panel on the other end. While it runs it lights everything wired to it, burns fuel, and its noise draws the infected nearby.

Finding Gas Cans

Each section of the map (the campgrounds, the trail, north and south Stillwater, Blackthorn Hill, the lowland below it, the ranger station and the airfield) gets one Gas Can each morning in one of a few spots. A section never has two lying around: if yesterday's is still there, no new one appears. Airfield containers can also hold one.

Generators

The generator at Blackpine Airfield powers its floodlights, runway lights and the lights inside its buildings. Fuel burns only while it runs, on the server's clock. A new run starts every generator empty.
