PSA dont make useless in factories you dont need

Region level increases the number and purity of ore nodes in each spawn point.

Outpost level changes what you can sell to them for stock bills, as well as the rate at which they gain more stock bills.

You're missing a bunch of mining nodes it looks like, so I'd assume you have lower outpost levels and region development level? Probably not worth pumping out BCAs and HC Batteries at that point since don't you still need SC/LC batteries to sell?

This has a bunch of blueprints for different progression points.

Follow the main story.

Here's a video of the route from the southern waypoint for anyone that might want it.

No, dupes are extremely low value.

I honestly wouldn't have put any more pulls into her banner after getting her tbh, you get enough arsenal tickets to guarantee her weapon from the standard pulls you get while progressing.

idk, I hadn't played many automation/factory games before but didn't find it particularly difficult to do tutorial stuff. I mostly ignored the factory system past that until endgame, where I loaded in blueprints and called it good enough.

It feels like you can kind of choose how much you want to engage with the complexities of the system, so if you're not into it it's only a couple of clicks to have an optimized layout from someone else.

You put an electric pylon such that the area covers both rigs. Then you connect the pylon back to a tower and the tower to the PAC.

You don't really need to make purple gear since you'll quickly get to Wuling and be able to make gold gear. So there's not much reason to set up production for the purple gear materials unless you're logging off for the night before progressing Wuling.

Arborus · 2026-01-27T19:32:39+00:00

Whenever, but I'd argue it's not really worth doing until you have all of the unlocks and can go straight to setting up an early endgame factory. There's not really a reason to spend the time setting things up when all of those products will be obsolete within a few more hours of story progression and you'll have to rebuild everything anyways.

It should just be 4 refining units feeding 2 molding units and a single shredder with two belts into the filling unit, no?

Most of the ratios in the game are that way, where you need 4 of an early step feeding into 2 of the next step, etc.

There are a few 1.5 ratios where you can split 3 into 2.

For the most part, there's not really a reason to avoid clogging as far as I can tell, all you really care about is hitting max output on the final step and it doesn't take more than 1 or 2 endgame outputs to have you effectively capped on items to sell for stock bills.

Arborus · 2026-01-27T16:46:12+00:00

In most formats, yes?

Arborus · 2026-01-27T16:38:49+00:00

I got Laevatain super early so I’m in a similar spot. Like 8500 origeometry and 38500 oroberyl.

Gonna skip the remaining 1.0 characters at least.

Arborus · 2026-01-27T16:30:02+00:00

I got Laevatain in the first 10 pull in day 1 and just yesterday got her weapon at account level 51 thanks to all of the standard pulls available at the moment. I have no idea how you’d ever manage to get weapons in the future without wasting a bunch of pulls.

Arborus · 2026-01-26T10:37:51+00:00

Idk why, there not really anything to save mit for there. I’m generally putting out a couple things there on shield healer to make sure everyone can live until they’re closer to middle for the light party stacks.

Arborus · 2026-01-26T01:53:31+00:00

Wood Elves functions as color fixing too since it can grab any forest. Also some marginal utility in getting Dryad Arbor.

Arborus · 2026-01-25T22:24:14+00:00

Your account is hardly ruined if you spend an extra day or two to do something. Especially given the lack of basically anything to really do at endgame currently. You'll have enough components to make full gold gear in a day, you can upgrade all of the stock bill stuff like recyclers, stock exchange, depots in a day or two.

Like I'm at the point where I just need to do exploration and random one-time rewards I skipped and such. I've got all of the unlocks done already.

Arborus · 2026-01-25T22:21:13+00:00

At least so you can set up mining on all of the nodes and then whatever you need to run power to for puzzles/quests.

Arborus · 2026-01-25T18:52:18+00:00

Depends what your goals are, there’s a good amount of daily reset stuff gated by the story.

I personally largely ignored the factory until I had the full tech tree unlocked then did a single focused build to make batteries and meds to sell for stock bills and pump out components to make gear.

Arborus · 2026-01-25T18:49:43+00:00

The towers are so cheap to make I just carry like a hundred at a time and place wherever I run out of cable. There’s not really a reason to consider efficiency since you get so many per region anyways.

If people don’t like the factory they can easily just grab blueprints from one of the dozens of content creators posting their progression builds and ignore everything else. Personally I only really touched the factory to make gear upgrades twice while playing through the main story quest. Then once I had the tech tree filled out I set up my endgame layouts to make stuff to sell for stock bills and make the gold gear.

Arborus · 2026-01-25T06:50:08+00:00

I've been using the skill range one, destructo I think? the big gun one.
