Greetings, Endministrator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the initial phase, your base’s heartbeat relies on burning raw ore\u2014a primitive power source preceding battery technology. This growing foundation, however, brings a growing vulnerability: power overload. A single production hiccup can plunge your entire operation into collapse. That’s why forging a stable and far-reaching power grid to your remote mining sectors isn’t just a task\u2014it’s an urgent lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is “Power Grid Expansion”?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Arknights: Endfield<\/em>, “Power Grid Expansion” is the foundational process of extending your base’s core power network to remote resource nodes. This is achieved by strategically placing Repeaters<\/strong> (for signal transmission) and Pylons<\/strong> (for providing local power). It is arguably the most critical infrastructure project during the pioneering phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s why: before unlocking advanced technology like batteries, your base depends entirely on burning Source Ore<\/strong> for power. As you industrialize and add more equipment, power demand spikes. If ore production cannot keep pace, the entire grid risks a catastrophic failure. Successfully connecting to distant mining sites not only secures a massive boost in resource income but also provides the stable, scalable power required to run automated production lines and more advanced facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites for Power Grid Expansion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin expansion, ensure you meet the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Story Progression:<\/strong> Complete the main storyline quests up to Level 34<\/strong>. This unlocks the entire map of Valley IV<\/strong> and grants access to more advanced infrastructure blueprints, signaling your readiness for large-scale grid projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Map Preparation:<\/strong> Activate all available shortcuts (such as ladders, gates, and teleporters) across the region. This will save considerable time when navigating to deploy and connect your power network components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Equipment Check:<\/strong> Double-check your inventory to clearly distinguish between Repeaters<\/strong> and Pylons<\/strong>. Misplacing a Pylon where a Repeater is needed (or vice versa) at a critical junction will prevent your mining drills and other facilities from receiving power, halting your operations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Increase Power Output in Arknights: Endfield<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To resolve power shortages, install a Thermal Bank<\/strong>. This structure functions as a power generator by consuming either Originium ore<\/strong> or batteries<\/strong> to produce electricity. You can boost your grid\u2019s output by connecting a source ore supply line directly from your base hub to the Thermal Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For optimal stability, it is strongly recommended to prioritize installing Thermal Banks within or near your AIC core<\/strong> area, ensuring a consistent and centralized power supply for your key operations.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The Thermal Bank<\/strong> is a power generation facility that converts either Originium Ore<\/strong> or Batteries<\/strong> into electricity. It must be connected to your base\u2019s power grid to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
