Set Up Automated Production Lines

AIC in Endfield Gameplay Demo

The Automated Industry Complex (AIC) can process raw materials gathered to create products such as gear, medication, food, and explosives, to name a few. These can be done via facilities linked by logistics units to create automated production lines at the base.

Your base will be a significant source of your resources for Operator and Weapon development, so make sure not to neglect upgrading and maintaining the AIC.

Use as an Exploration Tool

AIC Zipline Exploration Support

Some facilities in the AIC can aid exploration through facilities such as ziplines and bounce devices to expedite travel or help navigate terrain.

Ziplines can create routes to reach distant destinations, while bounce devices allow long jumps to arrive at hard-to-reach locations.

Get Support From Combat Facilities

Combat facilities are available in the AIC, aiding in battles by either damaging the enemy or healing the team. These can greatly help in combat scenarios where the AIC is available for use.

Utilize Mechanized Planting

AIC Planting in Gameplay Demo

The AIC has Planting Units, automating the process of growing common plants in high volumes. Deploy sprinklers to automatically irrigate the plots for later harvesting.

Note that automated irrigation will likely be unavailable on launch, hinted to be accessible after resource and mining permits for the Jinlong region have been acquired.

Some Plants Cannot be Automatically Grown

There are certain plants that require players to manually grow them in a non-Planting Unit plot. In these cases, players must manually create the seed plot, place it in an appropriate location, and germinate and water the seeds for them to grow.

Unlock Facilities With VR Simulators

VR Sim in Gameplay Demo

Knowledge of AIC technology is stored in VR Simulators found all over Talos-II. Interact with these simulators during your exploration to activate them and complete tutorial goals to discover new techniques for the AIC.
