Thermal posts are tasked to be set up around the world of EDN III to not only harvest the rich TEnergy found on the planet, but also provide you with an ever-abundant amount of free money. Once they’re fully functional and syphoning T-Eng around the clock, you can check in regularly and fill your wallet. Finding them can be a bit of a pint however, as aside from a faint locator, you’re not giving any indication where they’re found on EDN III. Luckily, we’re here to designate and show you where all 6 posts are to be placed.

Thermal Post #1: White Canyon Junction/Diaz Canyon

This is the easiest post you’re tasked to arrange since it’s pivotal to push the beginning plot forward. This post will also be what opens the mission to set up the remaining five, so if you fail at this… We don’t know what to tell you!

Thermal Post #2: Shackleton Peak

Just down from Dr. Roman’s area in Shackleton Peak, there’s a pipe that prevents your Rig from going any further, but your zip-line allows you to zip across to a cave full of Akrid eggs. Make your way around, and then place the post for your second money maker.

Thermal Post #3: Bishop’s Wake

As your crossing through the tight confines of Bishop’s Wake, be sure to look out for a winch lock-on prompt. When you’re connected, zip-line over and take care of the Akrid army closing in on you. Once they’re handled, place the post and know you’re officially halfway there!

Thermal Post #4: The Killing Fields

Another ‘winch-required’ post is found in the Killing Fields. To the east is a small area of land that’s begging for you to explore. As soon as your winch is in place, zip-line out and you’ll know you’re where you need to be; your detector will be off the charts. Place the post, and head back into your Rig, you’re nearly done.

Thermal Post #5: Picket’s Folly

From the offshoot cave location on the map, use your magnetic hook to ascend and land next to an audio log. As you listen to Dr. Shea’s log, head to the back of the cave minding the nest and explosive eggs. Place the post, and prepare for your final fast travel.

Thermal Post #6: Bailey’s Crossing

First thing you’ll come across once you reach Bailey’s Crossing is a giant crab Akrid. Defeat him then head into a tunnel to the south and proceed into an ‘arena’ like area and deal with the carious Akrids found within. Head to the back of the small area to place the sixth, and final, thermal post.

Congratulations, you’ve just earned Master Planter achievement/trophy, as well as a bevy of spots to earn ever-flowing cash.

All it takes is one good gust and we float away and disappear, leaving behind only the scent of our passing in the form of memories! --- Cody McFayden "Shadowman" The world is moving so fast now and were all chasing something so fast, that we start freaking out way before our parents did. --- Paul Haggis "The Last Kiss" The sun had to rise, the sun had to take the dark back from the night. Cause darkness left us dead, left us so we couldn't mobilize. Light has brought us vision, it made us see what we've all become. Somewhat hidden, we burn like torches to see everyone. Beneath the romance the confidence. ------The Architect L&R Hearts so close their one; Oh man I fell in love so hard it hurts. When you stuck your gun into my chest i begged for the release cause there is nothing left. It's okay I'm fine, I swear I'm fine you only lied and caused my trust to die. ------Sunny Bell L&R I spent most of last night dragging this lake for the corpses of all my past mistakes sell me out - the joke's on you we are salt - you are the wound empty another bottle and let me tear you to pieces this is me wishing you into the worst situations I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go but you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat --FOB "My Heart Is The Worst Kind of Weapon" But you couldn't last a lifetime. Caught between here and the days of it; carving her name across your arm with every wish. It's hit or miss... her. --Coheed And Cambria "The Light & The Glass" If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. I hope you find out what you want. I already know what I am. And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am. --Brand New "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" Could this be that we've all been dead? between the dreams of disbelief my daily walk my rolled up sleeves i'm whispering those simple things to help me sleep and dream and dream --Love And Reverie "Death" could this be that we were all once dead? oh foolish heart to think you were once alive in these silent times from the start you had your ways and meager rhymes --Love And Reverie "Birth" Whenever I take a test, I do it at a restaurant because the customer is always right! We are all dead since we are born The end is there before anything starts If to live is to continue learning The end is when we learn the very last thing To finally discover the end and learning about it completely is what death is We are not allowed to learn about something Those who cannot transcend death, shouldn't learn of anything
