How to Create, Share, & Import Blueprints in Arknights…

There's more to Arknights Endfield than just fighting, exploring, and progressing through the main story. Factory building plays a major element in the core gameplay loop too. A significant chunk of Endfield's character and overall account progression is tied to the factory building mechanic, and that might not necessarily be a good thing for some players.

Building Endfield Industries' Automated Industrial Complex can be a little intimidating, and players who aren't into automation games might not be interested in this at all. Thankfully, you can use pre-made Blueprints made by other players to help you keep this part of the game simple.

How to Get Use Factory Blueprints in Arknights Endfield

You can get pre-made factory blueprints by completing the AIC Factory Simulations, which you can find along with your Dailies list in the Operational Manual. These are non-combat activities, so you won't have to bother with bringing the right characters.

Factory Simulations are tutorials designed to help players understand how factory building works. Upon completion, you'll get some Oroberyls as well as blueprints that will produce specific materials for you, like Origocrusts or Amethysts Components, which are used to craft Gear in Endfield.
