Valley Reboot is an early-game quest in Arknights Endfield where the Endministrator needs to restore power to the Protocol Resonance Tower in the Hub area of Valley IV so that they can start to build useful structures.

While Arknights Endfield isn’t unique as a huge open-world gacha RPG, it does some really interesting things with base-building and resource management, allowing you to build factories which turn raw materials into rare resources automatically.

However, these processes require power and the Valley Reboot quest itself is a little underexplained. To get the lights back on and your quest moving forward, here’s how to transmit power to the Protocol Resonance Tower in Arknights Endfield.

How to transmit power to the Protocol Resonance Tower

First, follow the tutorial to place the first relay tower within the factory zone.

Next, you need to interact with the tower and drag the cable to the marked quest location.

However, this can be the first point of confusion as the cable doesn’t reach. Rather than using the path, run as the crow flies in a straight line from the first relay tower to the marked location, over the edge of the hill, and the cable will be long enough.

You can then place the next tower at the highlighted marker.

Next, you can drag another cable from this second relay to the nearly electric-powered switches to get extra items if you fancy a diversion. But to continue the quest you need to drag a power cable from this second tower to the main Protocol Resonance Tower.

But, this is the bit I didn’t get and you might not either, to get the power all the way back to the Resonance Tower you need to place another relay tower of your own between the second relay and the Resonance Tower , otherwise the cable won’t reach.

To do this without a highlighted marker, press Tab to open the construction hotbar and place another relay between your second one and the Resonance Tower. Hook it up with the cable, then you’ll be able to reach all the way to the goal.

You will then be able to continue with your journey, then, when you’re ready, be sure to check out our up-to-date list of Arknights Endfield codes for loads of free useful items distributed by the game’s developers.

The best Arknights Endfield blueprints for the early- and mid-game

For all your seed, battery, and stock bill needs

Finding the right set of blueprints in Arknights Endfield is the difference between spending hours manually configuring your base and just plunking down setups you know will work without tinkering. Which blueprints are best depends on where you’re at in the game. You can’t, for example, get a head start on advanced production with a battery blueprint if you haven’t actually unlocked the processes by which you make batteries. So your best bet is to upgrade your factory as you progress through the game, adding more efficient layouts or swapping one production set for another.

Below, we list some of the best blueprints in Arknights Endfield for the early- and mid-game, including battery farm blueprints.

The actual best blueprints for the early game, and for any time when you just want to see how a layout might work or start with the basics, are the blueprints you get by completing tutorial simulations. Once you unlock a new facility or process, you’ll see a prompt encouraging you to try it out in a simulation. These are often lengthy and tedious, but you’ll typically get a blueprint that lets you plunk down a basic setup that mimics what you just used. It takes the fuss out of planning and lets you focus just on producing materials you need.

However, as you start progressing, you’ll want to lessen the amount of space each process takes and have several other factors to consider while building. That’s when community blueprints come in handy.

You can opt for full-factory blueprints, but using process-specific blueprints is a lot easier and takes the troubleshooting out of trying to figure out what went wrong, if something were to go wrong. You also have more control over your layout this way.

Anyway, we’ve tested these blueprints from other Endfield players and found they work perfectly.

While we cautioned against using full-factory blueprints earlier, this one from seas-are-cute is an excellent option for giving you every material you need without having to bother setting up individual processing stations yourself.

Don’t hesitate to experiment with other blueprints to find what works best for you. Just make sure you have enough power output to keep everything going. Fixing a juice-less factory is much more of a pain than it sounds, so keep up with that as you build.
