Arknights Endfield Blueprints: How to Import and Share Factory Layouts

Endfield blueprints let you save an AIC factory layout as a code and paste it into your own base, turning hours of trial and error into a few clicks. They are the fastest way to copy a working production line, and they work in reverse too: once you design something efficient, you can share it with anyone on your server.

This guide from gamemarket.gg explains when blueprints unlock, how to save and share your own, how to import a code, what happens when you are missing facilities, and which kinds of blueprints are worth looking for.

What Blueprints Do

A blueprint is a saved layout of AIC facilities, conveyors and connections. Instead of placing every machine by hand, you load the blueprint and the whole line appears in position, ready to build. Community blueprints can cover much larger areas than most players would design on their own, which makes them especially useful for complex lines like batteries or packaged goods.

Blueprints unlock during the main story's second chapter, when the AIC Simulation opens. Some Simulations also award a ready-made blueprint for a specific product or facility, which is a good way to learn how the system works.

How to Import Endfield Blueprints

Importing a shared code takes less than a minute:

1. Open the AIC menu in an AIC area (F1 on PC).
2. Open Blueprints and go to the Shared Blueprints tab.
3. Select Import Blueprint and paste the code.

   

4. Check the summary of facilities the layout needs, then save it to Shared Blueprints.

   

5. Select Place, position the layout and confirm.

Codes are region-locked, so a code shared on an Asia server will not work on NA/EU, and the other way around. Codes also mix similar characters such as I, l and 1, so copying and pasting is much safer than typing them by hand.

How to Save and Share Your Own Layout

Once a production line works, saving it takes a few steps:

• Switch to aerial view and use Multiple action to select every facility in the line.
• Choose Save Plan and give the blueprint a name. It then appears under My Blueprints, which holds up to 100 of your own designs.
• To share it, open the blueprint, choose Send for review, and once the quick check passes, select Share to generate a code for other players.

Testing a layout before saving it matters, since a blueprint copies mistakes just as faithfully as good design.

What Happens When You Are Missing Something

Blueprints do not hand you anything you have not earned. Two rules decide whether a layout can be used:

• Missing facilities are placed as holograms, so the outline appears and you can fill in the real machines once you have them.
• Missing AIC tech blocks the blueprint entirely. If a layout uses a facility you have not researched yet, you need to unlock it first.

Power is the other common limit. Many full Valley IV and Wuling layouts are designed around two or three Thermal Banks, plus whatever your ziplines and combat towers draw outside the factory, so checking your power budget before placing a large blueprint avoids a line that stalls halfway.

Which Blueprints Are Worth Using

Shared blueprints cover almost every stage of the factory. The most useful types for most players are:

• Power plants, which keep the rest of the base running.
• Battery lines for both Valley IV and Wuling.
• Ferrium component lines, a key mid-game material.
• Sandleaf Powder lines, one of the first late-game production goals in Valley IV.
• Packaging lines for canned and packed goods.
• Seed and farming loops that keep plant materials flowing.

The AIC factory guide for Valley IV to Wuling explains which of these to prioritize at each stage, and the Wuling mid-game factory guide covers the new constraints once you reach the second region.

Build Smarter, Not Longer

Blueprints are the closest thing Endfield has to co-op building, since every shared layout is another player's solved problem. New players can lean on them heavily while learning, as the early game progression guide suggests, and the full list of Arknights Endfield characters helps plan the squad that will use everything the factory produces.

If you would rather start with a strong roster already built, you can browse Arknights Endfield Accounts, hand dailies and AIC farming to a verified player through Arknights Endfield Hourly Services, or clear endgame faster with Arknights Endfield Boosting.
