To power Aburrey Quarry’s Electric Nexus units, doors, and elevators, extend a continuous transmission route from The Hub PAC using Relay Towers and Electric Pylons. The quarry has no local Sub-PAC. This is separate from the A Brewing Storm objective involving high-voltage fences.
What you need before building the route
- The Hub PAC must be unlocked and built, with enough Originium ore supply to sustain its output.
- You need access to Relay Tower and Electric Pylon construction.
- To use pylons as forwarding nodes, the All Things How guide lists Pylon Relaying research under Basic AIC Plan II. Without that research, its guide says pylons cannot extend the route on their own.
Build a continuous route from The Hub
Start at The Hub PAC and place connected transmission nodes toward Aburrey Quarry. Each new structure must link to a node that is already connected back to the PAC; a gap anywhere in the chain leaves the quarry without power.
| Structure | Maximum link distance reported by guides | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Relay Tower | 80 m (reported by All Things How, 2026) | Longer route segments and an inbound node inside the quarry. |
| Electric Pylon | 30 m (reported by All Things How, 2026) | Shorter links, including where terrain or elevation makes a tower placement inconvenient. |
These are guide-reported game distances, not independently confirmed official specifications; check the current build’s placement feedback if a link does not connect. GameWith recommends routing from the Worker Dorms area toward the Mountain Side Trail. Treat that as a suggested path, since terrain and actual placement determine whether each link reaches.
Branch power to quarry facilities
Once the route reaches the quarry, place an inbound Relay Tower in an open central location, as recommended by All Things How, then branch from a live tower or pylon to each facility you want to operate. Being inside a powered area does not necessarily put every device within range of a node.

- Extra R4/L4 bumpers. Custom button mapping without using software. Turbo function.
- Refined bumpers and D-pad. Light but tactile.
Check that each Electric Nexus, powered door, or elevator shows an active power state and responds to interaction. If one remains inactive, inspect the route and the device connection:
- Follow the chain back toward The Hub PAC and look for a missing or overlong link.
- Check that the device is within range of its nearest connected tower or pylon.
- Confirm Pylon Relaying is researched if a pylon is meant to forward power.
- Check that the PAC has enough Originium ore supply to sustain output.
Do not confuse this with the high-voltage fence objective
The Exploration Mission A Brewing Storm: Aburrey Quarry has a separate objective involving high-voltage fences. Its walkthrough describes striking individual power sources, using a bomb to disable another fence, and repairing a terminal. Those actions do not create the PAC-to-quarry relay route needed to power the quarry’s facilities.
