Arknights: Endfield Players Can Exceed the 200 Power Cap With Thermal Banks

Researching the Power I node unlocks fuelled banks that raise grid capacity using ore or crafted batteries.

Overview

  • Recent guides confirm Thermal Banks are the required structure to lift the default 200 limit, with the unlock found under Basic AIC II’s Power I in the AIC Plan.
  • Completing the early mission Paving the Way grants a Basic Expansion Core to open the tier, and a Basic AIC Index is needed to research Power I.
  • Unlocking Power I grants a free Thermal Bank and a build template, and additional banks can be constructed with ten origicrusts and ten amethyst parts.
  • Banks must be continuously fuelled to keep factories running, with fuel outputs reported as 50 power for 8s per originium ore, 220 for 40s per LC Valley battery, 420 for 40s per SC, and 1100 for 40s per HC.
  • Battery production requires Packaging Tech and a Packaging Unit, with LC batteries crafted from originium powder and amethyst parts and SC from originium powder and ferrium parts.
