While not an 'item' you interact with directly, the power generator is the unseen source of your limited resources. The power meter in the bottom-left corner of your screen indicates its remaining capacity. It's a critical 'resource' that dictates your survival.
Power Consumption:
- Base Drain: Constant, even with no actions.
- Camera Monitor: Slow drain when active.
- Lights: Moderate drain when active.
- Doors: High drain when closed.
Running out of power before 6 AM results in a game over, as Freddy Fazbear will appear and end your shift. Effective power management is the single most important skill in the game. Every action you take must be weighed against its power cost.
