Sustained output planning
Convert a desired item rate into all upstream machines needed to keep that output running.
Factory calculator
Endfield Factory Calculator
Calculate sustained production chains for Arknights: Endfield. The planner expands targets into recipes, intermediate materials, facility counts, and power usage so you can size a line before building it.

Factory features
What this calculator adds beyond a materials list
A pure materials checklist does not show whether your factory can keep up. This page focuses on machine capacity, sustained throughput, and the energy cost of each plan.
Power visibility
Facility utilization is multiplied by each facility power value, so the total budget updates with every target change.
Tree and table views
Use tree view for dependency shape and table view for compact totals, recipe overrides, and raw-material toggles.
Loop-aware recipes
Circular chains are detected and solved where the available recipes can be balanced.
Recommended workflow
A simple way to size a production line
Run this loop whenever you are deciding whether to build another line, expand a power block, or treat a material as already supplied by gathering.
- 1Choose the final item and set an output rate per minute.
- 2Check total power before you place facilities.
- 3Open the table view to see which ingredients dominate the chain.
- 4Override recipes or mark stocked materials as raw to model your actual base.
- 5Use decimal facility counts as utilization, then round up when building.
Facility reference
Facility power values used by the planner
Each production node references one facility type. Power totals are calculated from these values and the number of facilities required for your selected output rate.

FAQ
Factory planning questions
What is the difference between target rate and facility count?
Target rate is how many items per minute you want. Facility count is the calculated machine capacity needed to sustain that target.
Should I round every facility count up?
For continuous output, yes. For occasional crafting, decimal counts are useful because they show how much uptime a facility needs.
Why can two different targets share a facility chain?
The calculator totals requirements across all active targets, so shared ingredients and facilities are counted together.
