Best 1.2 AIC Factory Blueprints for Arknights: Endfield

With version 1.2 live for a few days already in Arknights: Endfield, everyone suddenly had to optimize their factories again in the Wuling region. Not only did we get a new outpost, but also new materials, and a full new crafting chain around Hetonite.

As a result, it can be hard to know what exactly you need to swap around or change to maximize your production. This is why players have started sharing min-maxed factory blueprints designed to automate production of nearly everything needed for the current late-game crafting.

After a bit of research, here are two popular community setups that a lot of players are currently using and that are really efficient. The two setups are a bit different since the first one is working as a temporary setup. You can simply place it down in the new outpost without it impacting the rest of your Factory. It is useful if you just want to be able to craft a bit of gear until you have time to rework your entire Factory. The second one is a fully optimized Wuling 1.2 setup that will allow you to obtain everything you need. You should use this one only once you have completed the whole story and unlocked the full Outpost.

Basic Requirements

Those are not beginner setups. If you have barely started the Wuling region, it is not for you, but you can take a look at our beginner recommendations for blueprints here! Keep also in mind that this is only for Wuling, and not the Valley IV. For an optimized future-proof Valley IV layout, you can check out our recommendations here.

The following setup is for players who already have a base stock, have upgraded outposts and regions, and can mine the maximum amount of ores.

• Progress the story until the new outpost is unlocked, and you placed down your Sub-PAC
• Reach Regional Development Level 10 for max mineral purity
• Unlock and upgrade:
  • Lucky Carrot
  • Monitoring Center
  • Required AIC plan nodes

Finally, make sure all mining spots in Wuling for the new Cuprium Ore are active, since the blueprints rely on the full set of available resources.

Temporary Blueprint

This one is basic and ready to go. It lets you craft all the new 1.2 components without messing up your existing base.

Before placing it, you do want to check some things on your old setup to make sure nothing interferes:

• If your main base uses a lot of Ferrium, disable anything non-essential. Wuling does not have much of it, so if your main base uses a lot, it will cause issues once you place down the blueprint
• You may need +1 Thermal Bank if your power is tight
• Make sure you have a stock of the following resources:
  • Yazhen
  • Sandleafs
• Sub AIC Requirements
  • Unlock Area Expansion 1 at least (40×40 grid)
  • Unlock Depot Bus
• Make sure you only have 4 Forges of the Sky in your main base
  • Patch 1.2 adds 4 more, and you will need all of them here

According to the creator, the layout produces approximately 45 new Hetonite Components per hour and 90 Heavy Xiranite per hour. Keep in mind that this is not the highest efficiency, but just something to get you started until you feel like optimizing your entire Wuling Factory.

Full Optimized Setup

Now this is where things get a little bit more serious. For those who completed the entire story and are ready to overhaul their entire Wuling Factory once again, this is one of the best setups you can currently find. It has been shared by NaruVT and put together with the community to provide the best possible setup.

This one is designed specifically for Patch 1.2 Part 1, so keep in mind that it will need adjustments when Part 2 drops.

First things first, you want to remove your old setup entirely in Wuling, both at your Main base and at the first Outpost. Once that is done, make sure you have a solid stock of the following materials:

• 50 SC Wuling Battery
• 200 Cuprium Component
• 50 Sandleaf
• 200 Yazhen
• Set your regional Metastorage to transfer Dense Originium Powder from the Valley IV to Wuling

Blueprint Codes (EU / NA)

This entire setup is divided into multiple blueprint segments. Parts 1 to 6 are for the Main AIC, and parts 7 to 9 are for the Sub AIC (so the two Outposts).

Once everything is running, you will have a stable battery production, constant Xiranite flow, full component crafting covered, and a good amount of material stockpiling. Basically, you are set for all current endgame crafting.
