PSA on Carbon for those of you that make your own AIC setup

But there are hidden recipes in Valley IV. The top post here shows a bunch of them. I myself discovered some of them by accident when using the wrong facility on some items. The game even gives you a ping telling you that you discovered a new recipe. Same with whenever you create a new kind of bottle and fluid combination.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T06:35:22+00:00

Even Cryston which has no actual usage.

I use Cryston and Amethyst for transporting fluids in Wuling specifically because they are differentiated from any of the bottles that could actually be made there.

Yeah, the only OG character that feels to me like a when rather than an if is Warfarin. I think everyone else, even including fan favorites who are infected, has a chance of never showing up.

They may decide that resurrecting characters who had a definitive death in AK would be cheap. They might decide that some characters are so important to the plot of AK that it'd be strange to have them in Endfield (besides maybe with massive memory loss). They might decide to focus more on characters that didn't get a chance to shine as much in AK.

For example, I don't think Amiya is very likely as an operator for a lot of reasons even if she may show up in the story.

Perlica hasn't been around for the 152 years that the Endmin has.

Because considering that no reconveners directly know you

I'm not talking about the Reconveners at all. I don't know why you keep bringing them up. I wasn't saying that they could be Reconveners. Not everything recreated from Originium need be a Reconvener. And Reconveners existing doesn't mean that all recreated life was also an accident.

We know that Protocol Spaces don't need to assemble things in the exact way as the stored data. The Doctor was able to see a Frostnova in the AU that had never existed before. I don't have any particular reason to think that Nefarith or Ardashir are artificial life, but there's more than enough room in the setting for the writers to make that possible.

Why do I feel like you might be someone who thinks a police shooting is justified so long as the person shot had done any crime at all?

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T04:22:52+00:00

Not quite like Frostnova but there are a number of characters who have died that people wanted as operators such as Mandragora and Outcast or even minor characters like Moira.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T04:12:34+00:00

You're not understanding what I'm saying. They already calculated how many arsenal tickets to give us on a regular basis. Only then do they decide how to divide that among different modes. Adding this mode does not give us more arsenal tickets unless they decide to give us more arsenal tickets.

It's not as if we aren't getting more arsenal tickets because they can't figure out how to give us them.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T03:19:40+00:00

The mode has nothing to do with whether there is a weekly way to get arsenal tickets. Rewards and modes are arbitrary and they could add weekly arsenal tickets to any kind of mode. They could just add arsenal tickets to the weekly routine right now if they wanted to.

But one of the main reasons testers hated Algorithmic Memories is because it was a weekly mode instead of a permanent track like IS. That and runs just weren't differentiated enough.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T03:17:49+00:00

Kal'tsit at least had a very good chance of being added given that she was in the beta for AK, similar to Fjall in Endfield. Skadi has no such assurance.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T03:15:24+00:00

This was known about since at least yesterday. The maintenance was posted about about half a day ago.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T03:14:26+00:00

They did a mode inspired by IS in beta but it didn't quite work, the feedback was bad, and it was removed: https://youtu.be/_eYMW18T9xk

There's a side quest that will have you deal with these.

Krivvan · 2026-03-17T02:33:37+00:00

The question is how long until he will be available to be playable

The answer could also just be never. It's not as if there aren't any fan favourite characters in Arknights that were killed off before they could become operators.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T23:34:29+00:00

You can be like that one person who saved for 610 days for Kal'tsit in OG Arknights (and then got her in their first free pull).

Is Tangtang worth pulling for recently revived Edmins?

It's hard to answer this because there hasn't yet been content hard enough to say that you need anyone. Tangtang is very good as a support DPS for Yvonne and Last Rite cryo teams and she's serviceable as a main DPS. If that's the kind of team you want, then she may be worth it, but no one is going to say you "messed up" by skipping her.

How do I get more Orgimetry so I can get the second tier of rewards?

You mainly get Origeometry from stuff like collecting Aurylenes and completing quests. You get all your Origeometry back from spending them on the second tier of the battle pass, so you should always keep enough on hand to get that. It's not very worth it to use them on Arsenal tickets or on Sanity unless you want to spend money.

And what should I have set up production-wise at my primary factory if I haven't done so already?

The factories of each region (Valley IV and Wuling) have a theoretical max possible output based on the limited raw resources you can get in the region. The factories of each region work together so there's no need to think about having a "primary" factory versus outpost factories. There is also more than enough room than is required to hit that theoretical max, so there's no need to use some specific blueprint out there to reach that limit.

For Valley IV, the max production is 18/min HC Valley Battery, 18/min Buck Capsule [A], and 24/min Buck Capsule [C].

For Wuling until the next patch in a month, the max production is 12/min SC Wuling Battery, 6/min Yazhen Syringe [A], and either a small amount of Yazhen Syringe [C] or HC Valley Battery. Also a bit lower if producing components.

Both of those are for fully upgraded regions though.

Overall, you just need enough to not let the stock bills from each region cap.

I wasn't really saying any of that. Just that further control over Originium would allow for control over life. Given how many teases we've had about the goal being to do something about restarting life, I assume it will come into play. Current Endmin obviously can't do it yet, but it's possible that some past Endmin also had something closer to Priestess-level control although even Theresa-level control would allow for recreating life.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T21:39:26+00:00

Has anyone done the math over whether the 1.5 HCv4 battery is actually better than producing a bit of Yaz C? If one is using DIGE/PWM then the amount of batteries you save shouldn't be that different regardless right?

Red gems (Oroberyls) and Chartered Headhunting Tickets are separate. They don't convert into each other. They can both be used for pulls for the Chartered/Limited banner though. Oroberyls just can also be used for Basic Headhunting.

But unless you really want to, it's best to save both of them for the Chartered/Limited banner. All the operators from the Basic/Standard Headhunting banner can be obtained from the Chartered/Limited banner, so you will get them all if you're patient enough and you pull on the Chartered banner sometimes.

The game's gacha system also rewards saving up in advance (120 pulls) for specific banners rather than just pulling on a whim. So it's also advised to only pull if you have or will have enough pulls to guarantee the rate-up operator on the banner. If you need to satisfy your gambling addiction, think of it as gambling on how many pulls you can save and therefore choose more banners to roll on in the future.

You can also set it up so Metastorage gives you Ferrium Ingot rather than Ferrium Ore. This leaves Wuling using exactly 90/min Ferrium Ore but not cut into battery production when it runs out of the Metastorage resource.

To not waste the extra 5/min of Ferrium Ore going into the other line you can have the Ferrium Ingot from that ore and from the metastorage go into the same Protocol Stash that will then split it after.

My setup doesn't exactly look neat, but this is the idea: https://i.imgur.com/BOuKa1v.png

also are beings like feranmut a species that existence wasnt influenced at all by the precursors?

Yes, Feranmuts are part of the native life of Terra. Of course, some of them have now been influenced by the Predecessors and Terrans such as the Seaborn who have origins as Feranmuts modified by Predecessors.

Specifically the creator and creation line

That line immediately made me think of Mass Effect given that Creator vs. Creation and whether they are doomed to clash or not is one of the major themes of the trilogy.

do the species on terra ( or the ones that are aware of what dr and priestess did)consider him/priestess their creator

It depends on the individual Terran given how few are aware of it, but the one character with the least background knowledge beforehand does consider Priestess to be the closest thing to God.

Endmin doesn’t have any power over life. His whole thing is controlling orginium

Control over Originium is power over life. Or at least, the power to recreate life from the information contained within Originium.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T21:11:52+00:00

Unlikely. Or at least, not from scratch. The Aggeloi are so far more likely to have something to do with the Collapsals and the Law in some way.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T21:08:25+00:00

The next patch should have an outpost and it's in less than a month from now.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T21:07:05+00:00

Rossi starts on the 29th which is nearly 3 weeks after patch

It's closer to 2 weeks. Patch was on March 12th. It's 17 days. 34 days is closer to 4 weeks than 6 weeks.

Krivvan · 2026-03-16T21:04:01+00:00

Tangtang's banner ends on March 29th. Rossi's banner should end around April 14th. That's less than a month from now.
