Finding the right set of blueprints in Arknights Endfield is the difference between spending hours manually configuring your base and just plunking down setups you know will work without tinkering. Which blueprints are best depends on where you’re at in the game. You can’t, for example, get a head start on advanced production with a battery blueprint if you haven’t actually unlocked the processes by which you make batteries. So your best bet is to upgrade your factory as you progress through the game, adding more efficient layouts or swapping one production set for another.
Below, we list some of the best blueprints in Arknights Endfield for the early- and mid-game, including battery farm blueprints.
Best Arknights Endfield blueprints for the early game
The actual best blueprints for the early game, and for any time when you just want to see how a layout might work or start with the basics, are the blueprints you get by completing tutorial simulations. Once you unlock a new facility or process, you’ll see a prompt encouraging you to try it out in a simulation. These are often lengthy and tedious, but you’ll typically get a blueprint that lets you plunk down a basic setup that mimics what you just used. It takes the fuss out of planning and lets you focus just on producing materials you need.
However, as you start progressing, you’ll want to lessen the amount of space each process takes and have several other factors to consider while building. That’s when community blueprints come in handy.
Best Arknights Endfield blueprints for the mid-game
You can opt for full-factory blueprints, but using process-specific blueprints is a lot easier and takes the troubleshooting out of trying to figure out what went wrong, if something were to go wrong. You also have more control over your layout this way.
Anyway, we’ve tested these blueprints from other Endfield players and found they work perfectly.

While we cautioned against using full-factory blueprints earlier, this one from seas-are-cute is an excellent option for giving you every material you need without having to bother setting up individual processing stations yourself.
Don’t hesitate to experiment with other blueprints to find what works best for you. Just make sure you have enough power output to keep everything going. Fixing a juice-less factory is much more of a pain than it sounds, so keep up with that as you build.
