The quest titled **Paving the Way** is a pivotal mission within the **Arknights: Endfield** game, specifically categorized under **The Turbid Heavens Chapter I – Process II**.This quest becomes accessible after players complete the **Fort Showdown** mission, propelling them into further challenges.
Exploring the Paving The Way Quest

To initiate the **Paving the Way** quest, players must meet with **Andre** at the **AIC Core Area**.Andre will outline potential enhancements for your factory, after which players are prompted to access the **AIC Factory Plan**.This plan unveils the development tree, granting your **Endmins** access to a variety of advanced constructs.

Prior to unlocking additional features, it’s essential to collect **AIC Index Points** using the **Protocol Datalogger**.These points are visually represented on the map as tall yellow balloons, making them easy to locate.

Incorporating simulation activities will also provide specific goals that, when achieved, yield valuable rewards for players.
Establishing Mining II

The first construction players should prioritize is **Mining II**, which enables the extraction of valuable ores like Amethyst. This setup features a belt-free transfer system that effortlessly channels materials to the **PAC**.To engage in the simulation for this upgrade, entering the **Electric Mining Rig** is the next step.



During the simulation, players need to set up three **Electric Mining Rigs** on designated Amethyst beds, followed by placing an **Electric Pylon**.To activate these rigs, initiate transmission from a nearby **Relay Tower** that connects to the Pylon, ensuring the setup is operational. Players can then utilize the Zipline to return to the PAC, unload the extracted **Amethyst Ore** at the **PAC Output Port**, and commence production of **Amethyst Fiber**—effectively concluding the simulation phase.

Continue taking instructions from the quest marker, positioning an additional two **Electric Mining Rigs** on the Amethyst deposits, while situating a single **Electric Pylon** centrally.

Next, you will need to find a nearby **Relay Tower** to energize the machines, replicating the simulation setup accurately.

Proceed to the **Orginium Ore** mining sites and, if any, dismantle old mining machines by selecting ‘quick action’ for removal. Place the two **Electric Mining Rigs** and optionally connect the **Pylon** directly to the **PAC**, as it remains within an 80-meter radius.

Make sure to collect 50 Amethyst and 50 Orginium from your machines or PAC, and then deliver these resources to Andre to progress.
Integrating Gearing Tech

The subsequent focus shifts to **Gearing Tech**, a crucial machine designed for synthesizing materials into various products.


Connect the **PAC Output Port 1** to a **Refining Unit** using a belt, and likewise link **PAC Output Port 3** to another refining unit. From both refining units, channel the output into the **Gearing Unit**.Next, deposit **Orginium Ore** at **PAC Output Port 1** and **Amethyst Ore** at **PAC Output Port 3**.

While the **Refining Units** process the ores into **Origocrust** and **Amethyst Fiber**, the **Gearing Unit** will combine five of each to produce one **Amethyst Component**.Access the **Blueprints** feature in the AIC Factory interface, and position the Gearing Unit Blueprint. This action will automatically set up the necessary machinery upon connection to the PAC.

Unload the Amethyst Ore and Orginium Ore into their respective outputs and wait for the crafting process to yield 20 **Amethyst Components**.

In the crafting section, create four **Miner Overalls** and deliver them to the designated quest location.
Unlocking Parts Fitting

The concluding segment of the **Paving the Way** quest involves enabling the **Parts Fitting** process and producing **Amethyst Parts**.Access the development tree and utilize a **Basic AIC Index** to activate Parts Fitting.


In your Hub, install a **Fitting Unit** on an available Output from the PAC. Supply some **Amethyst Fiber** to the appropriate **PAC Output Port** and establish a connection to the unit via a moving belt. To enhance efficiency, consider positioning a **Fitting Unit** adjacent to the **Refining Unit** while connecting them with a belt.

Finally, deliver 10 **Amethyst Parts** to Andre, thereby completing the **Paving the Way** quest in **Arknights: Endfield**.
