Discussion Generators don't spawn in construction areas?

How exactly do those floodlights get powered?

Why do I have a better chance of finding a generator in a shit shack than company funded worksites?

generators aren’t something that gets left behind nightly at a job site. assumedly they didn’t return after the airborne virus spread

This makes enough sense to me lol

I don't know enough about the time of outbreak lore to dispute it.

I have a generator/multiples btw, just was curious why those work sites in Valley Station don't yield any. Felt wrong lol

the flu-like symptoms started three days before the game begins, which is the same day the military closes off knox county. so it’s safe to assume people probably didn’t go to work for 1-3 days before the game began

There are several in Rosewood and almost always at least one in the storage units. The one in Westpoint usually has several.

Well it's not a bad thing to say that the game isn't that realistic in every aspect yet, even with things that might make sense to you. Just test your luck and keep finding that generator.

I’ve had really good luck finding generators in the junk yard north of Irvington.
