Many players who are just getting into Arknights: Endfield have this question: How is the day and night system set up in Arknights: Endfield? Today, I'll share some insights. Generally, the day and night system is deeply integrated into the exploration and combat mechanisms. The alternation of day and night not only changes the scene's lighting but can also affect combat. This is a feature that many players are looking forward to. So, let me share more about it.

Firstly, it should be noted that the wasteland world of Arknights: Endfield does not have a day and night cycle, but the survival pressure in this desolate land is no less. As an administrator, the player needs to lead the Endfield Industrial Organization to rebuild civilization on the planet Talos II. The absence of day and night changes makes resource competition and base operations the core challenges—efficiently collecting resources while guarding against enemies at any time. 80% of the resources in the game are produced through infrastructure, and facilities like furnaces and mining machines must be prioritized. For example, metal ores need conveyor belts to connect to the refinery, and when power supply is insufficient, solar panels can be used as a temporary solution. Remember not to cluster production lines; dispersing them can reduce the risk of being wiped out by enemies in one go. In the early stages, build more resource recycling stations, as dismantling ruins for scrap iron is faster than mining.

Rare materials are all hidden in exploration areas, such as "Star Sand Crystals" in desert ruins and "Ethereal Cores" dropped by giant mechanical guardians. It's recommended to use survey drones to scan the map during the initial exploration; the flashing markers indicate high-level resources. When teaming up, clearly divide tasks: one person lures the monsters, two people mine, doubling the efficiency. The combat system emphasizes character combinations rather than the number of characters. For example, bring a shield bearer to take damage, pair with a sniper for long-range kills, and add a caster to clear the field. Make sure AI teammates don't run around; set tactical instructions to focus fire. During boss fights, manually switch characters to use combo skills, and follow up with burst damage at the moment of breaking defenses, which can save half the time.

When you reach 30% progress in the main storyline, you will unlock the "Ruins Decryption" mission, which rewards you with an automation blueprint. For example, the automatic turret blueprint can enhance your base defense by two levels, but you need to collect five ancient chips first. Daily tasks, such as "Resource Escort," offer the best value, as completing three of them gives you advanced building materials, which is more stable than fighting wild monsters.

Even without a day and night cycle, the dangers on Talos II are still very real. Despite the high demand, the setting of no day and night may not continue indefinitely. Under the current setup, it's advisable to make good use of the terrain to build defensive structures, place minefields at valley entrances, and set up sniper towers on high ground. Once you have enough resources, upgrade your factories and automate production lines to free up your hands.
