Arknights Endfield Sandleaf Location, Blueprint, and Farming Guide

If you’re diving into the industrial side of Arknights: Endfield, chances are you’ve already hit that wall where every endgame recipe suddenly demands Sandleaf Powder. Yep, that material is essential for advanced crafting, and manual gathering in the Power Plateau just doesn't cut it.

It's not just about picking flowers — by setting up a smart automated loop, you can turn a single wild plant into an infinite supply factory. This guide highlights exactly where to grab your first Sandleaf, how to build the "infinity loop" mechanism, and the blueprint codes to get your production line running instantly.

Let’s get into it.

Where to Find Sandleaf

You can first unlock the Power Plateau region (after finishing Originium Loadspring).

1. Location: Plateau Trunkway.

2. Visuals: Look for the orange/red ground. Sandleaf appears as a small plant with a yellow glow.

Requirement: You only need to collect 1 Sandleaf to start the farm.

Automated Sandleaf Farm (The Infinity Loop)

This setup creates a self-sustaining cycle. The Seed-Picking Unit turns crops into seeds, and the Planting Unit turns seeds into crops. Because the output is greater than the input, it runs forever.

Required Buildings:

• 1x Seed-Picking Unit
• 1x Planting Unit
• 1x Shredding Unit (for processing)
• 1x Protocol Stash (for storage)
• Conveyor Belts & Electric Pylons

Step-by-Step Build:

1. Placement: Place the Seed-Picking Unit (arrows facing right). Leave a 2-block gap and place the Planting Unit (arrows facing right).

• Tip: The 2-block gap allows space for an Electric Pylon in the middle to power both machines.

2. The Input (Belts): Run two conveyor belts from the Seed-Picking Unit's output into the Planting Unit's input.

3. The Loop (The Secret Sauce): Run one conveyor belt from the Planting Unit's output all the way back to the Seed-Picking Unit's input.

• Result: The machine will now cycle endlessly. 1 Seed becomes 2 Plants, which become 4 Seeds, doubling every cycle.

4. Kickstart: Open the Seed-Picking Unit menu and deposit your single wild Sandleaf to start the machine.

Processing: Making Sandleaf Powder

Sandleaf Powder is a crucial endgame material used in the Grinding Machine (for Dense Ferrium, Cryston Powder, etc.).

1. The Output: Use the second outlet of the Planting Unit (the one not used for the loop) to create a new belt line.

• Note: The Planting Unit has two output slots. One goes back to the Seed-Picker (recycle), the other goes to the Shredder (profit).

2. Shredding: Connect that belt to a Shredding Unit.

• Ratio: 1 Sandleaf = 3 Sandleaf Powder.

3. Storage: Connect the Shredding Unit to a Protocol Stash.

Recommendation: Use three conveyor belts between the Shredder and the Stash, as the Shredder produces powder very fast (3 at a time). The Protocol Stash automatically teleports items to your base storage every 10 seconds.

Blueprint Codes

Corresponding Blueprint Code (Self-Sustaining Plant Farm):

• EFO0172UA40A7I55O0Ai (North America Server)
• EFO017i89ao19O55O0Ai (JP Server)

Note: Blueprint codes are often region-locked. If the code above does not work for your server, follow the manual build steps in Section 2—it takes less than 2 minutes to set up.

 

Conclusion

That’s everything you need to know to stop foraging and start mass-producing Sandleaf Powder. With this setup, your base will be churning out thousands of materials on autopilot. Happy building!
