Xiranite Production in Arknights: Endfield – Wuling’s Essential Resource Explained

With the arrival of Patch 1.0 in Arknights: Endfield, players exploring the Wuling region face a significant step up in resource management and base engineering. Xiranite and its upgraded form, Xiranite Component, now serve as cornerstones for high-end crafting and infrastructure, particularly for those targeting late-game upgrades. If you are building toward gold-quality Gears or expanding advanced facilities, understanding optimal Xiranite supply chains is non-negotiable.

At a Glance: Xiranite & Component Quick Facts

• Patch/Region: Patch 1.0, Wuling (endgame area)
• Xiranite Recipe: 2 Stabilized Carbon + 1 Water (Forge of the Sky only)
• Xiranite Component Recipe: 10 Xiranite + 10 Packed Origocrust (Gearing Unit)
• Production Gating: Limited Forge placements; time-gated crop and material yields
• Core Uses: Gears, batteries, advanced structures (see table below)

Why Xiranite & Components Matter Now

Endgame content in Wuling shifts the resource economy: Packed Origocrust and upgraded tech demand a stable Xiranite pipeline. Without robust, highly-optimized factory layouts, late-game progression stalls—especially for F2P and low-spend players who can't brute-force skips through premium purchases. Mastery of Xiranite production is now a core benchmark for player progression, highlighted by both official patch notes and top CN/EN meta discussions.

Xiranite Factory Layout – Step-by-Step Blueprint

Goal: Maximize continuous Xiranite output with minimal bottlenecks.

Prerequisites:
– Unlocked Wuling region
– Access to Forge of the Sky facility
– Passive water source and crops (Sandleaf, Buckflower)

1. Core Material Generation

• Plant Sandleaf/Buckflower: Use 2 Planting Units per seed loop for optimal output rate (every 4s per crop).
• Refining: Route plants to a Refining Unit to convert to Carbon.
• Shredding: 1 Carbon → 2 Carbon Powder via Shredding Unit.
• Grinding: 2 Carbon Powder + 1 Sandleaf Powder → 1 Dense Carbon Powder (Grinding Unit). Maintain stable Sandleaf Powder input; one Planting Unit sufficient for this side supply.
• Securing Stabilized Carbon: Convert Dense Carbon Powder in a (separate) Refining Unit for each main line.

2. Forge of the Sky Placement & Water Supply

• Water: Build at least one Fluid Pump and directly pipe to each Forge. All Xiranite synthesis requires both Carbon and Water without belt bottlenecks.
• Forge Limits: You cannot make unlimited Forges in Wuling; brush up against this cap before investing in extra capacity boosters.

3. Belt Optimization

• Use dual outflow belts from Shredding to Grinding Units. This reduces queue clogs and keeps production smooth.
• Keep Sandleaf Powder lines isolated from main Carbon belts to prevent resource entanglement.

4. Assembly and Output

• Direct all Stabilized Carbon and Water to Forge(s) simultaneously. Output routes should immediately lead to tiered storage or onward to advanced facilities (see below for Xiranite uses).

Xiranite Component Line: Packed Origocrust and Factory Setup

Materials Needed

To produce each Xiranite Component (required for highest-tier Gears):
– 10 Xiranite (from above)
– 10 Packed Origocrust

Packed Origocrust Factory Steps

1. Ore Inputs: 1 Originium Ore → Refining Unit → Origocrust.
2. Powdering: Origocrust → Shredding → 2 Origocrust Powder.
3. Grinding: 2 Powder + 1 Sandleaf Powder → Dense Origocrust Powder.
4. Packing: Dense Powder → Refining → Packed Origocrust.

Maximize throughput by running two parallel Ore lines, and keep Sandleaf supply for powder distributed as a separate loop. For each Xiranite Component, ensure both base resource lines are synchronized so the Gearing Unit can pull from both buffers with no idle time.

Recommended Layout

• Dual refining/shredding lines for each main input.
• Centralized Grinding Units: Each receives powder from two directions.
• Direct belt links from packing into the Gearing Unit.
• Two lines for Xiranite supply per Component line.

Troubleshooting & Efficiency Tips

• Power Connectivity: In Wuling, Xiranite Pylons autolink; in Valley IV, power lines must be built to border manually. Double-check connections if throughput drops unexpectedly.
• Seed Loops: Single refining units may bottleneck—ensure dual refining/shredding for both Sandleaf and Originium product lines.
• Storage: In Wuling, Depot Buses can use both sides if placed centrally. Don’t cluster all outputs in one depot node; spread routes if scaling up multiple lines.

FAQ – Common Xiranite Production Questions

Q: Can Valley IV produce Xiranite?
A: Not in official Patch 1.0. Forge of the Sky and water system are Wuling-exclusive.

Q: What’s the limiting factor for F2P/low-spend players?
A: Time-gated crop yields plus Forge facility limits. Regular daily material runs and strategic placement are key for consistency.

Q: Are there rumors of additional Forges coming in later patches?
A: Unconfirmed – subject to change. No mention in current dev notes or official roadmap.

Next Steps: Upgrading Beyond Farm Basics

Once your Xiranite and Packed Origocrust pipelines are stable, start scaling output for Gear artificing and advanced construction. Consider investing excess into Gears ahead of event rotations or meta shifts expected with later region unlocks. Stay current on upcoming patches and efficiency changes via EarlyGG’s Arknights: Endfield news hub.

Key Takeaway: Wuling’s progression sets a whole new bar for logistics skill. Players who fine-tune their Xiranite lines early gain a permanent edge—whether pushing higher-tier Gears or simply powering up for inevitable endgame events.
