· This video introduces the factory blueprints for the Wuling region, updated for Arknights: Endfield version 1.2.
· We'll explain strategies to boost production efficiency by maximizing the use of existing blueprints, focusing on how to utilize the 8 newly added Tianyou Honglu.
· Specifically, Tianyou Honglu will be efficiently allocated for the production of Zhongyong Wuling Batteries, Zhongshiyang, Zhongshiyang itself, and related equipment parts.
· The core strategy is to achieve zero loss of soil crystals by using the waste liquid from inert soil crystal production during Zhongyong Wuling Battery manufacturing as a resource for Zhongshiyang production.

· Most of the existing factory blueprints can be used as-is with the Ver1.2 update.
· Thanks to the modular format that separates blueprints by production material, optimization is possible by making minor adjustments and adding new blueprints based on the 1.1 version blueprints.
· This update brings changes to the Tianyou Honglu, soil crystal, and equipment parts production lines. Notably, the large-capacity valley battery line will be removed.
· Newly added blueprints include two types for independent operation: one for non-ferrous equipment parts and Zhongshiyang production lines, and another for a miniaturized and low-power soil crystal line utilizing large reactors. A third blueprint will be for placing 6 Tianyou Honglu in the sub-agreement area.

· Since many players reached placement limits in previous videos, we'll divide the blueprints into 3 bases this time.
· To achieve the same layout, expanding the area of each base and the connection hubs is essential.
· The regional construction level must be at least 10 for the same placement; lower levels may impose placement restrictions.

· In the Wuling Integrated Industrial Zone, place 1 drainage machine and 5 pumps before installing facilities.
· The number of pumps is adjusted from the previous 9 (based on the 1.1 blueprint) down to 5, a reduction of 4.
· All drainage machines and pumps will be underground piped for efficient workflow.
· All existing Tianyou Honglu blueprints will be removed, along with parts of the soil crystal line. (However, the smoke grenade line will be maintained)
· For the equipment parts line, remove the production suppression splitters and agreement storage boxes to adjust production so that 1 unit of Zhongshiyang and non-ferrous equipment parts is produced every 40 seconds.
· Place the newly improved soil crystal production line, which will have the same width as the existing line.
· A single Zhongshiyang production line can handle the consumption of 4 Tianyou Honglu.
· Place the Zhongshiyang production blueprint in the empty space next to the Zhongshiyang production line.
· Subsequently, connect the underground pipes of the soil crystal line and the Zhongshiyang line, and connect the underground pipes of the drainage machine to the Zhongshiyang side's underground pipes to discharge water.

· Prepare 6 pumps in Tianwangyuan for the placement of 6 Tianyou Honglu and pipe them underground.
· Since only up to 5 can be installed in the pond, draw water from an external river for the remaining pump.
· Place two 32x25 Tianyou Honglu blueprints, aligning them to 25 columns wide.
· Place two 20x18 Tianyou Honglu blueprints, positioning the agreement storage boxes at the top right and leaving a 1-cell gap for pipe passage.
· For the 32x25 blueprints, connect pipes to the two internal underground pipe locations, and they will operate upon inputting plants.
· For the 20x18 blueprints, since there are no internal pipes, connect underground pipes from outside the industrial zone.

· In the Shuzhi region, install 3 pumps (underground piped) and 1 drainage machine.
· For the precipitation acid line, install 2 pumps (underground piped) and 1 drainage machine.
· Place the 20x18 Tianyou Honglu blueprint at the edge near the pond, with the agreement storage box at the top left.
· Install 1 connection hub base and 3 connection hub parts.
· Connect the non-ferrous equipment parts blueprint to the connection hub.
· The 20x18 Tianyou Honglu blueprint is connected externally, similar to Tianwangyuan.
· Connect the underground pipe (output) of the non-ferrous equipment parts blueprint to the underground pipe (input) of the pond.
· Connect the underground pipes of the precipitation acid line's pumps and the connection hub to begin supplying precipitation acid.
· Connect the underground pipe (input) of the non-ferrous equipment parts blueprint to the underground pipe of the precipitation acid line's drainage machine.
· After all pipe connections are made and plants are fed into the Tianyou Honglu, all installations are complete.

· For zero-inventory transfer, use high-density raw ore powder to ensure the Zhongyong Wuling Batteries operate at full capacity, and replenish any lacking raw ore powder.
· If Zhongshiyang parts are not needed, transferring Zhongshiyang bottles to produce Zhongshiyang bottles is also a good option.
· In the Sandleaf production line, Sandleaf production (9) exceeds consumption (8), so an additional pulverizer line can be added to produce more Sandleaf for delivery.
· Since approximately 25 units of bronze ore remain per hour, it's possible to produce Zhongshiyang bottles using this surplus.
· However, excessive production can interfere with the production of non-ferrous equipment parts, so it's advisable to regulate production volume via the control unit.
· When using this blueprint, an additional precipitation acid pump must be installed in the Shuzhi region.
· According to the report, when the Sandleaf powder and Zhongshiyang bottle production lines are operational, there might be a slight shortage of bronze ore, but this has a negligible impact on overall production.
· Non-ferrous equipment parts and red copper equipment parts are produced at approximately 1.5 units per minute, and non-ferrous equipment at 0.67 units per minute, sufficiently meeting weekly demand.
· This means that the tight production management required previously is no longer necessary.
