Best AIC Layouts in Arknights Endfield (+Blueprint Codes)

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

Asia Code: EFO013o78oU5EUaA0579

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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

Asia Code: EFO01I3Au3iE4i9u5o08

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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

Asia Code: EFO01ouiIue25e6aIieO

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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.

Power Plateau Layout

Asia Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0a3AoOU

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

The Power Plateau outpust can be utilized to produce Cryst Component for higher level gear sets. This layout maximizes the land usage, with an extra space for another production line, in this case, I am using the space for Steel Bottle production, but you can switch it to anything else depending on your current needs.

Production Layouts & Blueprints

Below are the best layouts and blueprints for each production line, in case you need them separately.

All Parts and Bottles Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0aeA9OU

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

This is the most compact yet fully optimized layout that produces all parts and bottles, including Amethyst, Ferrium, Steel, and Cryston bottles and parts.

Starting Layout (Origocrust & Amethyst Fiber)

Asia Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0eAoOU

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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 Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO019aE0a2o32eO5uI2

NA/EU Code: EFO01893u0Au0U1AUI73

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

Asia Code: EFO01I3Au3iE4i9A5o08

NA/EU Code: EFO01eE7UOuUO34aoAi8

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 the Refining Unit if you need some Carbons.

Explosive Production Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO014E62E17A13uE71A

NA/EU Code: EFO01u1Io6eo6i03AoOU

This layout is designed for producing Industrial Explosives, complete with a self-sustaining Aketine Powder production line.

Battery & Thermal Power Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO01eAoiA86a84EoAi8

NA/EU Code: EFO01O3E286289II94e4

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 Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO01u8U38AO2A0OAoOU

NA/EU Code: EFO0158OEo9Eo0uIeIoe

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 or Bottle Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO01A7uU7I06IE39ieO

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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 or Bottles efficiently.

Keep in mind that Sandleaf Powder must be farmed separately using the dedicated farming layout mentioned earlier.

Buck Capsule (A) Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO01a6516OuoOAEoe5e

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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 Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO018IeoI74O718UI73

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

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.

Cryst Component Blueprint

Asia Code: EFO013o78oU5EUauu0579

NA/EU Code: -under construction-

To craft high-level gear, you need Cryst Components. This layout produces all the key materials required for Cryst Components, including Packed Origocrust and Cryston Fiber, along with the component production itself.

However, this layout does not fully utilize the Gearing Unit’s uptime, meaning there will be about a 5-second downtime. This isn’t really an issue if you plan to let it run overnight.

If you want to fully maximize production, you’ll need to double the output of Packed Origocrust and Cryston Fiber. This can be done by mirroring the production lines and connecting both sets to the same Gearing Unit. Just keep in mind that this approach requires a larger amount of space.

Once you have maxed out your Cryst Component supply, you can easily repurpose this Sub-PAC layout for any other production line you may need.
