Best Starter Factory Layout

Core AIC Area Starter Layout

The blueprint setup above will generate 6 LC Wuling Batteries per minute, 2 of which are fed into Thermal Banks to provide energy for all of your Wuling facilities. This can easily be expanded by adding additional Thermal Banks should you need more power.

This also produces 5.5 Jincao Drink per minute, which you can sell alongside excess LC Wuling Batteries to get Wuling Stock Bills. If you instead want to produce Yazhen Syringe C, just change the plant in the infinite loop from Jincao to Yazhen.

Make sure to set the Automation-Core to output LC Wuling Batteries to the Thermal Bank Loop, as well as Ferrium Bottles to the Jincao Drink production line. Fill the two Wuling Plant Loops with your choice of JIncao or Yazhen, and place Sandleaf to the rest of the plant loops.

Requires Metastorage Transfer

Only Use If Valley IV
To fully utilize this factory layout, you need to unlock Metastorage Transfer by increasing Valley IV's Regional Development Level to max. This allows you to transfer 750 Ferrium Bottles an hour from Valley IV to Wuling without the need to create a Ferrium Bottle production line.

Best Starter Blueprints

Xiranite

Xiranite Production Line

The first ingredient you need when making Xyranite is Stabilized Carbon. Refine Buckflower or Sandleaf into Carbon, then shred it into Carbon Powder. Afterward, grind it with Sandleaf Powder to make Dense Carbon Powder. Finally, refine it to get Stabilized Carbon.

Once your Stabilized Carbon line is running, attach it to a Forge of the Sky alongside a Clean Water input. Make sure to have two Stabilized Carbon inputs to ensure 100% efficiency.

LC Wuling Battery

LC Wuling Battery Production Line

The first ingredient you need when making the LC Wuling Battery is Dense Originium Powder. You can craft this by first shredding Originium Ore into Originium Powder. Afterward, grind it with Sandleaf Powder to make Dense Originium Powder.

You will also need Xiranite when crafting LC Wuling Batteries. It is enough to follow the Xiranite production line explained above.

The last step to making LC Wuling Batteries is to package the Xiranite and Dense Originium Powder together. For 100% efficiency, make sure you have three Dense Originium Powder inputs feeding the Packaging Unit.

Xiranite Component

Xiranite Component Production Line

The first step to making Xiranite Components is making Packed Origocrust. Shred Originium Ore to get Originium Powder, then grind it with Sandleaf Powder to get Dense Originium Powder. Afterward, refine it twice to get Packed Origocrust.

Similar to the LC Wuling Battery, you will need Xiranite when crafting LC Wuling Batteries. It is enough to follow the Xiranite production line explained above.

The last step to making Xiranite Components is to combine the Packed Origocrust and Xiranite in a Gearing Unit. For 100% efficiency, you will need two Packed Origocrust inputs and two Xiranite inputs.

Xiranite Component Codes

It is important to note that you can only place up to two Forges of the Sky throughout all of your Wuling AICs. If you are already using one of them to create Wuling LC Batteries, then your Xiranite Component production line will only operate at 50% efficiency.

You can circumvent this by either transferring your Xiranite to a Valley IV AIC and crafting your Xiranite Components there, or by transferring batteries to Wuling to free up your other Forge of the Sky.

Yazhen Syringe C

Yazhen Syringe C Production Line

You will need both Ferrium Bottles and Ferrium Parts to craft the Yazhen Syringe C. Both Ferrium Bottles and Ferrium Parts start by refining Ferrium Ore. You can then pass it through a Fitting Unit to make Ferrium Parts, or through a Moulding Unit for Ferrium Bottles.
For 100% efficiency, you will need to create two Ferrium Part lines, and one Ferrium Bottle line.

Using Yazhen and the Ferrium Bottles, you will then make Ferrium Bottle (Yazhen Solution). To do so, shred Yazhen to get Yazhen Powder and combine it with Clean Water in the Reactor Crucible to create Yazhen Solution. You must then pipe the Yazhen Solution into a Filling Unit alongside the Ferrium Bottle.
Make sure you have unlocked the Fluid Filler Node in the Wuling AIC Plan to allow fluids in the Filling Unit.

Once you have Ferrium Bottles filled with Yazhen Solution, you can then combine them with Ferrium Parts using the Packaging Unit. Remember to feed two Ferrium Part Lines into the Packaging Unit for max efficiency.

It is important to note that at the moment, you can only mine 90 Ferrium Ore per minute in Wuling, even with the increased purity. As the Yazhen Syringe C production line requires 120 Ferrium Ore per minute to operate at 100% efficiency, we recommend reducing the Ferrium Bottle production to only have one Ferrium Ore input to even out its yield and usage.

Replacing the Yazhen in this production line with Jincao will instead produce Jincao Drink.

Seed-Planter Loop Is Modified

Asia
Copied

The Yazhen is a Wuling Crop, and is one of the main ingredients when crafting a Yazhen Syringe C. Although you only get one Yazhen Seed when putting a Yazhen through the Seed-Picking Unit, you get two Yazhens whenever you pass a Yazhen Seed through the Planting Unit. This also applies to Jincao.

The blueprint above, which is an iteration of the Valley IV infinite seed-planter loop, will infinitely create plants passively, giving you the plants you need for your production needs. It is also more compact compared to its Valley IV counterpart due to the difference in yield and usage numbers.

Make sure that you have also unlocked the Hydroponic node in the Wuling AIC Plan to allow you to grow Yazhen in the Planting Unit since it needs the input that allows you to connect pipes.

Once you get to Wuling, prioritize crafting Xiranite, Xiranite Components, LC Wuling Batteries, and Yazhen Syringe C.

Xiranite is the main ingredient for numerous Wuling-based crafting recipes, such as Xiranite Pylons and Relays, as well as Xiranite Components and LC Wuling Batteries. Xiranite Components are used to make Level 70 Gold Rarity Gear, while LC Wuling Batteries will be the primary power source of your Wuling AICs.

The Yazhen Syringe C, on the other hand, is the recommended Trade Good during the early levels of the Sky King Flats Construction Site Outpost.

Split Production Lines Into Smaller Parts

Because of the complex recipes of the priority items, we highly recommend splitting the production into smaller parts. This makes it easier to manage, and allows you to build the production line over numerous AICs, which will be a huge help as your AIC will be on the smaller side until you upgrade it.

Splitting the production line requires extensive use of Protocol Stashes and the Wuling Depot Bus, so make sure that they are unlocked.

Sandleaf Powder Is Still Important

Input Time Product
Sandleaf Sandleaf x1
(30/min)

(2s)
Sandleaf Powder Sandleaf Powder x3
(90/min)

When crafting Xiranite and LC Wuling Batteries, you will need Stabilized Carbon and Dense Originium Powder, both of which require Sandleaf Powder. As such, make sure to have a constant source of Sandleaf in Wuling by creating a Seed-Planter Loop.

Transfer Some Valley IV Batteries

At the start of your Wuling factory journey, you might find yourself strapped in ways to increase your power generation. For that, we suggest transferring a handful of Valley IV Batteries from Valley IV to Wuling and use that to generate power, until you have a stable production line for LC Wuling Batteries. A singular Thermal Bank would also work, as this will be temporary anyway.

A single Thermal Bank would consume around 2,200 units of battery for 24 hours and 1,100 units for 12 hours, which should be a long enough time buffer for you to build your LC Wuling Battery to supply power locally.

Starter Tips

Unlock the First Outpost Before Building Your AIC

Unlock First Outpost
Before working on your AIC, try to play through the story until you unlock the first Wuling Outpost (Sky King Flats Construction Site). Doing so gives you access to the entire map, as well as reveals where the Mineral Beds are.

Completing all of the main missions up to this point will also reward you with a decent amount of Wuling Stock Bills, which you can use to unlock upgrades for your AIC.

How to Farm Stock Bills Fast

Take Over Mining Nodes

Mineral Bed
As you are basically starting from scratch in Wuling, it is important that you take over all the available Mining Nodes. Once you unlock your first Outpost, go to the available Mineral Beds and place Mining Rigs on all available nodes. Take advantage of the Xiranite Pylon and Relay to easily power your Mining Rigs.

What is Mining Purity and How to Increase It

Unlock The Wuling Depot Bus Immediately

Unlock Wuling Depot Bus
Unlike the Depot Buses in Valley IV that have fixed locations, the Wuling Depot Buses can be freely placed anywhere in your AIC, provided that the Depot Bus Sections are connected to a Depot Bus Port.

Take advantage of this by unlocking the Wuling Depot Bus node in the Wuling AIC Plan, as well as by upgrading your AICs to accommodate Depot Buses.

Focus on Increasing Regional Development Level

Increase Regional Development Level
To improve your production capabilities, focus on increasing your Regional Development Level, as higher levels can increase Mineral Purity, as well as unlock additional mining nodes.
