Auto Farming for Crops, Seeds, Plants, Medicine, and Explosives Arknights Endfield Guide!

Setting up an automated farming system in Arknights: Endfield is one of the best ways to secure a steady supply of crops, seeds, healing items, and explosives without constant manual work. Once your base reaches the right tech level, farming can become a fully self-running loop that supports both combat and crafting needs.

This guide explains how to unlock farming, set up infinite crop loops, and split production efficiently for medicine, carbon, and explosives. Everything is broken down step by step so it’s easy to follow, even if you are still early in base development. Also check out our Arknights Endfield Codes for more rewards!

How to Unlock Farming and Planting Systems

To start farming, you need to progress your base technology to the second tier of the housing tech tree. Open the Technology tab and focus on unlocking Solid Filling first. This node unlocks the Filling Unit, which is required later for healing item production.

After that, move to the next node that unlocks the Seed Picking Unit and the Planting Unit. These two machines are the core of every automated farming setup in Arknights Endfield and can be combined to create an infinite production loop.

Core Farming Machines Explained

Seed Picking Unit

The Seed Picking Unit converts plants or bushes into seeds. For example, one Buckflower bush can be processed into two seeds. This doubling effect is what makes infinite farming possible.

Planting Unit

The Planting Unit takes seeds and grows them back into full plants. Once grown, the plants are output and can be reused in the Seed Picking Unit.

When these two machines are connected correctly, one plant can eventually turn into dozens without manual input.

Creating an Infinite Crop and Seed Loop

Place the Seed Picking Unit first, making sure the arrows face outward. This indicates the output direction. In front of it, place the Planting Unit two blocks away, with its arrows facing the same direction. Leave space between them for power pylons if needed.

Connect the two machines using conveyor belts. Then, route the output of the Planting Unit back into the Seed Picking Unit. This creates a closed loop. Once you place a single plant or bush into the system, it will keep reproducing itself. Each machine can store up to 50 items, so let the system run until it reaches capacity. At that point, excess production can be diverted elsewhere.

Splitting Output for Storage and Crafting

When production is stable, use a Splitter to divide output. A splitter evenly distributes items between different paths. Make sure the thicker end of the splitter faces the incoming materials. A common setup is:

• 50% stays in the loop to keep farming running
• 50% is sent to storage or crafting machines

This ensures the system never runs out of materials while still generating surplus resources.

Automating Medicine Production

To produce healing items, you will need:

• Filling Unit
• Shredding Unit
• Molding Unit (for bottles)

Route part of your Buckflower output into a Shredding Unit to turn it into Buckflower Powder. Connect this to the Filling Unit along with Amethyst Bottles from the Molding Unit. Once both materials are available, the Filling Unit will automatically produce healing capsules and send them to storage. If production feels slow, the bottleneck is usually the bottle supply. Adding another Molding Unit can increase output speed.

Producing Carbon from Excess Crops

Some crops, such as Citrum leaves, can be refined into carbon. Use a Refining Unit connected to the farming loop via splitters. Only send a portion of the output to carbon production so the main farming loop remains stable. Excess carbon can be sent directly to the core using a Depot Loader, keeping your inventory clean.

Setting Up Explosive Production

For explosives like grenades, you will need:

• Seed Picking Unit
• Planting Unit
• Shredding Unit
• Packaging Unit

Plants like Acetine can be found in areas such as Valley Paws. Once added to the farming loop, split part of the output into the Shredding Unit to create Acetine Powder. Combine this with Amethyst Parts in the Packaging Unit to automatically craft explosives.

Finished explosives can be sent directly to core storage, allowing you to stockpile them without manual crafting.

Base Size and Blueprint Tips

To use larger farming layouts efficiently, your base should have at least two or three bus depot upgrades and expanded base size. Once everything is set up, you can save the layout as a blueprint and reuse it later.

Blueprints are especially useful if you plan to scale production or rebuild your base with minimal effort.

Automated farming in Arknights: Endfield completely changes how you manage resources. With the right setup, crops, seeds, medicine, carbon, and explosives can all be produced endlessly with little to no player input.

By combining Seed Picking Units, Planting Units, splitters, and crafting machines, you can build a base that supports every part of your gameplay. Once your farming loop is stable, you will spend less time managing resources and more time progressing through the game efficiently.
