Liquid Heavy Xiranite — Quick Blight Clearing Blueprint
A compact 13x22 Liquid Heavy Xiranite blueprint designed to clear Blight quickly in Arknights: Endfield. Drop-in BP for fast Blight purification runs — no resource juggling, no manual reroutes.
Best for: Players hitting Blight zones who need a ready-made Liquid Heavy Xiranite production layout without designing one from scratch.
Why this BP: Most Liquid Heavy Xiranite layouts shared online are oversized or assume specific terrain. This one is small enough to fit in any sub-PAC and produces enough Liquid Heavy Xiranite to clear Blight on contact.
ASIA code only.
Liquid Xiranite — 7x19 Compact Blueprint (NA/EU)
Two compact 7x19 Liquid Xiranite blueprints for NA/EU servers. Both layouts share the same footprint — pick the one that matches your depot setup.
Setup: Add Precipitation Acid to the crucible. Conduits help!
V1 — 2 Depots + P Stash: P Stash will need external power not included in the blueprint (the original was powered by nearby facilities).
V2 — 3 Depots: Self-contained variant if you'd rather drop the P Stash for an extra Depot.

Buckwheat Capsule A Blueprint
HC Valley Battery Blueprint
Symmetric Valley V4
Mega factory layout combining Capsule A + Battery HC
Note: No external planter needed
Setup: Add one Electric Pylon in the corner
All 4 parts required - combine for full production setup
Hetonite Parts V2.2
Compact 26x21 Hetonite Parts production from unrefined ore to finished product
Features:
- Handles all waste products (sewage)
- Runs continuously at full throughput
- Self-sustaining acid production
- Space-efficient crucible routing
Startup: Draw pipe from center-top acid to rightmost converger to jumpstart acid production

Hetonite Parts 16.5/min Flow Limiter (Splitter Setup)
Auto-regulates Hetonite Parts belt flow to exactly 16.5/min using a splitter setup.
Use Case: For setups with 22.5/min Hetonite production but only consuming 6/min — excess is 16.5/min.
The Math:
- Belt full speed = 30/min
- 16.5/min = 11/20 of full speed
- Splitter config limits output to exactly 11/20 throughput
Why: No need to manually check ore numbers daily — belt stays controlled barring minor fluctuations from server hiccups.
Note: Only works if you aren't already full on Hetonite Parts.
Hetonite + Heavy Xiranite & Xircon (Event Setup)
Hetonite Blueprint
ASIA Code:
Current (180/min Cuprium Ore):
- Pipe in 2 Acid pumps to Purification's Pipe Converger
- Pipe in 1 Acid pump to Extended Crucible's Pipe Splitter
- Belt in 1 Cuprium to the Shredder closest to Extended Crucible
Future / Max Production (240/min+):
- Pipe in 1 Acid pump to Purification's Pipe Converger
- Pipe in 2 Acid pumps to Extended Crucible's Pipe Splitter
- Belt in 3 Cuprium to all 3 Shredders
Belt out Hetonite from Extended Crucible into a Depot Loader along the Depot Bus, directly to sub-PAC, or replace Water Treatment Unit with a Protocol Stash.
You'll still need 4 Cuprium refineries elsewhere for Hetonite production.
Heavy Xiranite & Xircon Blueprint
- Align Purification to the corner end outside of AIC area (see 3rd photo above)
- Manifold needs 2 Water pumps
- Due to terrain: place a Conduit Inlet with Pipe Converger for Inert Xircon Effluent, then connect to Conduit Outlet to Purification
This blueprint is fully self-sufficient — unloads Ores directly rather than processed products.
Tips
- If already using the old Hetonite blueprint, shift Depot Unloaders 1 tile upward
- Align the Depot Bus to fit the whole setup
- There's plenty of space available for Event Setup additions
Xircon + Heavy Xiranite
Compact Xircon + Heavy Xiranite production blueprint.
Setup:
- Water: 2 pumps
- Sewage: 1/s (from 2 refining units)
- Remember to output the water from the Purification Unit to the river
ASIA code only.
Hetonite Part
Hetonite Part production blueprint that pairs with the Xircon + Heavy Xiranite BP — sewage outputs feed back into the Xircon side.
Setup (per unit):
- Water: 2 pumps each
- Acid: 3 pumps (4 pumps is also OK — it won't clog)
- Sewage: 2/s each — split 1 outlet into 2 inlets and connect to the Xircon
Leftover sewage: 2/s and 1/s remaining — either ship them to a new map or run Water Treatments.
ASIA code only. Pairs with the Xircon + Heavy Xiranite BP above.
7-Line Xiranite Production (210/min)
7 self-sufficient Xiranite production lines at 210/min output. Near-symmetrical layout with only 8 asymmetrically placed facilities.
Key Space-Saving Tricks:
- Chain-linked Jincao/Yazhen planter/seed-picker groups (2-unit recursive loop)
- Corner design: 1 refiner feeding 2 grinders via carbon powder
- Cross-line forge feeding with stabilizing carbon
Water Split:
- North conduit: 2.5 water pumps
- Southwest conduit: 2 pumps
- Southeast conduit: 1 pump
- Central conduit: 1.5 pumps
Setup Notes:
- Requires 7 forges
- Move AIC away before placing (dense placement)
- 3 separate blueprints for EU/NA
- 4 separate blueprints for ASIA

Valley IV Megabase — Best Endgame Base
Optimized for money, power, and space. Runs at the lowest possible power of 4250 (factory+mining nodes), producing max value of 2780 stock bills/min worth of goods. Fits in just Core + 1 SubPac, leaving 2 SubPacs free.
Produces per minute:
- 18 Buck Capsule A
- 18 HC Battery
- 120 Amethyst Bottle
- 20 Origocrust
With SubPac 2 add-on: 30 Amethyst bottles, 18 Buck C, 30 Buckflower powder (depot quests), filling in 44h instead of 11h.
Requirements: Full upgrades in Core AIC and one SubPac. Rest can be unupgraded.
Parts Required + Recommended SubPac 2:
Placing Guide:
- Gather 250 Buckflower, 500 Sandleaf, 400 HC Battery
- Main PAC: orient depots to top and left. Place 6 pieces starting from top left.
- Fill plants into seed pickers (every seed picker that needs filling has an item control port showing sandleaf or buckflower)
- Set Core AIC outputs to 6 ferrium. Fill thermal banks with HC Battery
- SubPAC: place right, then left. Fill seed pickers and set AIC output per item control ports
- Switch off excess power thermal banks in Main PAC

Complete Wuling Factory (1.3)
A full Wuling 1.3 factory complex built from three linked sites: the main Wuling base, a JG. Valley extension, and an M. Stone extension. Import the parts for each site, then pipe in water and acid pumps where the overview image marks them.
Setup: Follow the pump labels in the layout below (the Wuling and JG. Valley sites take several water pumps, M. Stone needs an acid pump). For the exact facility-by-facility breakdown of each site, open the detailed Enkad projects linked under each group.

Expanded Crucible Item Incinerator (Auto-Unclog Depots)
Worried about clogged depots? The new Multi-Line Auto-Unclog feature lets you automatically destroy excess solids using the Expanded Crucible as an item incinerator.
How it works: Using the converger trick plus medicine powders, items loop back into the depot while it still has space. Once the depot is full, overflow is routed into the Expanded Crucible instead. Every 100 seconds the Expanded Crucibles clog both medicine solutions and clear everything inside them.
Bonus: It can also handle 1 refiner's worth of sewage if you move the top-right-most stash to add a 2nd liquid input.

YazhenA Line Integration (Theoretical)
A theoretical way of incorporating the incinerator into a YazhenA line. This variant is not fully tested, so treat it as a starting point rather than a drop-in build.

Liquid Logic Gates (XOR / AND / NOR / NOT)
A novelty set of blueprints that build working boolean logic gates out of liquid flow in Arknights: Endfield. By using one fluid stream to block another, a Conduit only transfers its Xircon Effluent under specific on/off combinations of Water and Acid — giving you AND, NOR, XOR, and NOT behavior.
More of a fun engineering showcase than a production base — but the Double Starter and the individual gates are handy primitives if you want to experiment with fluid logic.
Credit: community blueprint from Reddit. EU/NA codes only.
Setup & Wiring
How each Conduit connects — fluids gate the Xircon Effluent
Double Starter — two linked Water/Acid streams toggled together
Conduit inlets switched off — nothing transfers
AND Gate — flows only when both fluids are on
Neither fluid supplied — Solution does not flow
Only Water on — still does not flow
Both liquids on — Solution flows freely
NOR Gate — flows only when both fluids are off
Both on — Solution blocked
Water alone — still blocked
Both off — Solution flows
XOR Gate — flows only when exactly one fluid is on
Both on — Effluent blocked
Neither on — Effluent blocked
Exactly one on — Effluent passes
