Arknights Endfield AIC Factory Plan
Last updated:
The AIC Factory Plan gives a detailed display of AIC technology and development tree. Every node represents an AIC technology.
The Basic AIC Factory Plan is divided into 3 phases and Jinlong AIC Factory Plan divided into 2 phases in beta. To unlock a new phase, you must progress through the Duty Log and acquire the Expansion Core.
Use the AIC Factory Plan for relevant guides for various AIC technologies. If a particular simulation is locked, you can open the Map to track its VR simulator. If the VR simulator is already activated, you can access its simulation to master the AIC technology.
