Having efficient and compact production line layouts is really important for optimal AIC automation in Arknights Endfield. Increasing AIC efficiency improves production, which greatly boosts your overall progress. In this guide, you'll find the best AIC layouts in Arknights Endfield, including the blueprints.
Note: This guide is still a work in progress. We may find better layouts and blueprints, and we will update this page with the best ones as we continue our research.
Full Base Layouts
These are the best layouts for each base and outpost to maximize production efficiency.
Core AIC Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO013o78oU5EUaA0579
The Core AIC layout focuses on producing end products to trade with Outposts for Stock Bills. This layout maximizes production efficiency, whether you are crafting components for gear sets, batteries for power, or capsules for trading, while keeping everything neat and organized.
Feel free to use this layout and tweak some placements or production lines to suit your needs.
Note: We are still progressing through the game, and this base layout will be updated as more production lines become available.
Refugee Camp Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO01I3Au3iE4i9u5o08
The Refugee Camp outpost in Valley Pass can be utilized as a refining base to produce basic Amethyst materials needed to craft further products that will be processed in the main base. With this layout, you can rest easy knowing your base Amethyst materials will always be supplied.
You can, however, change one side of the outputs to another ore if you need a specific base material.
Infra-Station Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO01ouiIue25e6aIieO
The second outpost you can unlock is the Infra-Station, located in the Originium Science Park. This Sub PAC base can be focused on Ferrium production and its byproducts. This layout mainly produces Ferrium base materials like Ferrium Bottles and blocks, while also efficiently producing SC Valley Batteries for trading.
There are also Thermal Banks to supply power for your Ferrium ore drilling, and a Gearing Unit to produce Ferrium Components.
Production Layouts
Below are the best layouts and blueprints for each production line, in case you need them separately.
Starting Layout (Origocrust & Amethyst Fiber)
Blueprint Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0eAoOU
The first layout, which serves as your AIC production tutorial, is used to produce Origocrust and Amethyst Fiber. This is the simplest production line and helps you understand the basics: every production line needs both input and output, and you need power to keep the machines running. The easiest setup is shown in the image above.
We’ll also attach the blueprint code for this, and the next layouts so you can simply copy and paste it into your AIC base. Learn more about how it works in our blueprints guide.
Amethyst Component Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO019aE0a2o32eO5uI2
The next step is to produce Amethyst Components to craft gear sets. This continues the production line from the previous layout.
Self-Sustaining Plant Farm
Blueprint Code: EFO01I3Au3iE4i9A5o08
The self-sustaining farm is an important layout to maximize your plant stock. With this simple setup, you can produce the seeds, the plants, and the final products. Leave it running, and your plant-based resources will be fully supplied.
You can change the Shredding Unit to Refining Unit if you need some Carbons.
Explosive Production
Blueprint Code: EFO014E62E17A13uE71A
This layout is designed for producing Industrial Explosives, complete with a self-sustaining Aketine Powder production line.
Battery & Thermal Power
Blueprint Code: EFO01eAoiA86a84EoAi8
Once you have unlocked the Depot Bus, you will likely also have unlocked the Thermal Bank and Packaging Unit. With these, you can make Batteries, which are crucial for supplying enough power to your AIC base. It’s best to utilize the corner Depot Bus so they don’t interfere with your main production layout.
SC Battery Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0OAoOU
You will need a lot of SC Batteries (the blue ones) for powering your AIC base and for trading with outposts. The most efficient way to produce SC Batteries is to set up 3 inputs of Originium Powder and 2 inputs of Ferrium Parts. This ensures the Packaging Unit has no downtime, maximizing overall battery production.
Steel Part Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO01A7uU7I06IE39ieO
Steel Parts are extremely important later on for crafting HC Batteries and various sentry towers. This layout is one of the best and most compact setups for producing Steel Parts efficiently.
Keep in mind that Sandleaf Powder must be farmed separately using the dedicated farming layout mentioned earlier.
Buck Capsule (A) Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO01a6516OuoOAEoe5e
Buck Capsule (A) is one of the highest-paying resources for trading, which makes producing it extremely important.
This layout maximizes Buck Capsule (A) production with no downtime. Since each capsule requires 10 Steel Bottles and 10 Ground Buckpowder, you’ll need two sets of their production lines to ensure a steady supply of inputs.
Note that this layout only works properly in the corner of your base. However, you can still copy it, customize it, and realign the setup to better fit your own base design.
HC Battery Layout
Blueprint Code: EFO018IeoI74O718UI73
HC Battery is the next tier after SC Battery, and you will need a lot of it for trading. To produce it, you must combine Dense Originium Powder and Steel Parts, so having a steady supply of both materials is essential.
This layout maximizes HC Battery production while avoiding downtime as much as possible. However, it requires a large amount of Sandleaf Powder farming and an abundance of Steel Parts, which you can produce using the layout mentioned above.
