Where to find Aerospace Material in Arknights: Endfield beta

Aerospace Material is one of the more obscure resources you can get in Arknights: Endfield, yet it’s necessary for one of the game’s most important mechanics. You’ll need quite a bit of this special resource as you progress, so here’s where and how you can obtain it.

How to get Aerospace Material in Arknights: Endfield

Aerospace Material is one of the key resources needed to upgrade your MFG Cabins aboard the OMV Dijiang. As such, it is extremely valuable, and you will need a good chunk of it to ensure your Cabins reach their maximum levels. However, unlike other resources in Arknights: Endfield, you cannot craft Aerospace Material, and it is not harvested from the world like Ferrium Ore would be.

Instead, Aerospace Material is only obtainable from Recycling Stations scattered across all regions of the game. These unique nodes become accessible only when they’re ready for interaction. You’ll recognize them by their distinctive appearance: a small, owl-like creature perched on the station, wearing a yellow box around its neck. When you approach, the owl and node will rise from their resting positions, signaling that the node is ready to be harvested.

On the map, Recycling Stations have a flag as part of their symbol, making it easier for you to identify them from the many other icons present.

By interacting with a Recycling Station, you’ll acquire some much-needed Aerospace Material, but the Recycling Station will also go into a dormant mode that tends to reset with the game’s Daily Reset time. Once a Recycling Station has been harvested, it won’t produce any additional Aerospace Material until the Daily Reset. You can tell a station is dormant if you approach it and the node remains still in the ground.

Interacting with a single Recycling Station typically won’t provide enough Aerospace Material for immediate use. Fortunately, every region in Arknights: Endfield is home to several Recycling Stations. I highly recommend making it a habit of visiting them daily, as skipping them will eventually hinder your overall progression.

What is Aerospace Material used for in Arknights: Endfield?

There are two variants of Aerospace Material, each serving a distinct function despite sharing the same overall purpose: Aerospace Material 1 and Aerospace Material 2.

• Aerospace Material 1 – Used to upgrade basic Cabins on the OMV Dijiang. You’ll need this one to upgrade all of your Cabins beyond level one.
• Aerospace Material 2 – Used to upgrade advanced Cabins on the OMV Dijiang. You’ll need this to upgrade all of your Cabins beyond level two.

Both types of Aerospace Material come from the same Recycling Stations, and you’ll often receive both types when you interact with one. However, obtaining Aerospace Material 2 requires you to have a higher Area Status before it starts to appear, so don’t be alarmed if you only get Aerospace Material 1 early on.

Upgrading Cabins

You can use your Aerospace Material to upgrade your Cabins. There are two types aboard the OMV Dijiang:

• Growth Chamber – Used to grow plants that aid in direct Character Promotion.
• Manufacturing Cabin – Used to craft Experience consumable items for leveling up characters.

Both facilities play a critical role in maintaining a steady supply of resources for upgrading your characters in Arknights: Endfield. By upgrading these facilities, you can grow more advanced plants and craft stronger experience consumables, streamlining character progression and making the process significantly easier overall.
