Hailing from Northern Ireland, Jessica has written thousands of guides across sites such as Eurogamer, PCGamer, IGN and PCGamesN. She also ventures into countries with reviews, news, interviews and features from time to time, but never strays too far from the guides. When Jessica isn't writing about games, she's usually stressing over character builds in Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact, or looking for a new survival horror to test the strength of her vocal chords. She asks you to please stop recommending giant RPG games to her, because they will become her new personality, and there's only so much unnecessary fuss her shelves can hold. This logic in no way prevents her from trying out any new gacha RPG that comes along, but looking at her playtime on those tends to have the same effect… sometimes.
It might not seem like it at the beginning of the game, but Carbon is actually a very important material in Arknights: Endfieldbecause you need it to make more advanced materials along the coal production line, such as Xiranite, which in turn is needed to make Xiranite components – an ingredient used to craft gear in Arknights: Endfield.
Thankfully, obtaining coal and its later products is actually very easy once you've set up all the facilities required to grow coal, and automated the process of making Xiranite after you put a stack of coal into a demolition unit. It can be tricky to get around at first though, so this page explains everything from how to make charcoal in Arknights: Endfieldto how to grow cabbageto how to make stabilized charcoal.
How to create, share and import blueprints in Arknights Endfield
Blueprints make it easy to build a factory in Arknight's Endfield. Here's how to use them and how to make your own.
How to make Coal in Arknights Endfield
You can make charcoal in Arknights: Endfield of place Buckflower or Wood in the refining unit of your AIC factory. While you can unlock more formulas for Carbon as you progress through the story and unlock new regions, you can farm Buckflower in a loop very easily at your AIC Factory in Arknights: Endfield by connecting a seed picking unit with a planting unit. So you really only need to collect a Buckflower to start the automated process.
How to farm coal in Arknight's Endfield
Here are step-by-step instructions explaining how to grow cabbage Arknights Endfield:
-
Complete the main quest “Paving the Way”.
-
Use the expansion core to unlock the second level of the AIC Factory Plan.
-
Unlock the seed picker and planter on the AIC Factory Plan.
-
Place the seed picker and planter near each other in your factory.
-
Use belts to connect the seed picker to the planter.
-
Then use the belts from the other side of the planter to connect to the other side of the seed picker.
-
Place the Buckflower in the seed picker.
You have now created an endless loop of extracting seeds from the Buckflower and converting them back into twice the amount of Buckflower you originally used.
If you find that the above method does not work for any reason, make sure that your facilities have power and that your belts are properly connected (a production withdrawal of a facility i input withdrawal from another facility).
How to make Stabilized Coal in Arknight's Endfield
You need put dense carbon powder in the refining unit of your AIC plant to make stabilized carbon i Arknights Endfield. This process can be a bit long if you don't have an interconnected set of facilities set up, as you'll need:
-
Put coal in the shredding unit to make coal powder
-
Then put carbon powder into the grinding unit to make dense carbon powder
-
Finally, pour dense coal powder into the refining unit to make stabilized coal
You also need to advance the main story far enough to get another basic expansion core and unlock the third level of the AIC plan to unlock the grinding unit.
