I stick to 243 because I prefer having all rooms in base at max level. Having slightly less optimal production is a small sacrifice I'm willing to make.
I'd have considered if 252 production is at least 40% better than 243. In reality it is like what, 5%? 10%? That's small. I'll keep my neatly maxed rooms, thank you.
@@Kindi001 Let's say you play for 2 years and you are getting just by Base decision worst resources in a gacha game which is crucial as gacha games are particularly grindy. Not only that you get worse resource and worst base experience because 2-5-2 is easier to manage unless you don't log in 2 times a day. (which most players do to use their sanity). I only see downsides not to mention if you are spending money in the game specifically to refresh sometimes you just leave money on the table for no reason just because you have basically made up bullshit disorder. That's how you look in the eyes of a 3rd person. It's like saying yeah I don't want free value 🤣🤣
@@dragichav2810 yes tell me that 5-10k lmd that i lost every day you tottal it for 364 days then 3.640.000 for a year, let me repeat, A YEAR. did i fine with it, yes.
Honestly 2/5/2 is better output and even cheaper (building supplies wise) to start out as a base even at the beginning. The difference in output isn't so bad, it is literally about 1/2 days worth of output per Week. That output is not much but adds up over time, after 1 year it is almost 1 month extra output (ie if you ran the base an extra 26 days to keep up with output of a non-right side max 2/5/2) The extra operator skills are becoming more interesting and having those slots makes for interesting combinations, by the time you have max operators you like, and are pretty much at end game, maxing out your base as 2/4/3 is basically like going to lazy mode and maxing everything out, like the feeling of seeing everything maxed. Having quick cycle dorms lets you use those operators in the Workshop and cycle them for more workshop work aswell. End game 2/4/3 is a balanced lazy approach that may produce less but produces enough for your posts/factories to keep running all the while you gets to use a fully maxed out base.
Yup, there is a point where it becomes comfortable to choose quality of life over sheer efficiency, the difference in productivity is significant but it isn’t by any means a crippling sacrifice, specially if you are more selective with the units you upgrade. Personally the way how I raise operators I find that the “lmd is the bottleneck” argument to be true, so far it has been always lmd limiting upgrade progression while I sit on a pile of exp (that’s MY experience though,your mileage may vary)
As someone who is using 252, I rarely had a bottleneck for LMD. I've been overproducing gold with three gold factories, and periodically I get enough of a surplus to switch to 2 gold factories AND supply both trading posts for a couple of weeks; before having to switch back to 3 gold factoried again.

Personally, I don't really agree with your conclusion about the micromanagement myth, especially for a max right 252. One factor you didn't comment on was how long it takes for factories to fill up. A 243 base can be safely checked once every 24 hours with minimal loss, but a 252 will fill some of its downgraded factories in ~14 hours, which means they have to be checked twice a day. In practice, it doesn't really matter because sanity mechanics means that players should be checking twice a day at minimum. However, in a vacuum, a 243 base tends to require less management than a 252 base
That's true, a 243 can beat a max-right 252 if you login infrequently like that. But this only applies to max-right 252; all other 252 variants will either match or exceed 243's total capacity. More productive 252 variants may still over-cap, but overall production will still beat 243's regardless of the login interval. And yeah, this doesn't really matter when sanity caps in around 12 hours anyways. I don't think dorms can even support once-a-day base rotations with only 20 total slots.
B-BUT BUT BUT SCIFI'S SHEETS ARE SO OUTDATED. HYPERGRYPH HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAKING NEW BASESKILLS THAT FAVOR 243 LIKE FIAMMETTA, PROVISO AND MLYNAR.

Hello. I am an f2p dokutah (ever since) and I switched to a 2-5-2 setup from the 2-4-3 one very recently. I have been playing for 3 years and I am experimenting how far I can go with the new base setup.

Very much appreciated video. I'm using max right side 2-5-2 since 1st anniversary when W came and I'm Very happy I switched rather early 6 months in the game (for me). Also 9:49 had me dying that's some masterpiece 🤣🤣🤣
It seems like you are saying the right things, but then I look with my own eyes and see that 3/3/3 (3 gold factories) bring me 75,000 lmd per day while 2/*/* brings me only 56,000 lmd. I have 3k tactical battle records in my warehouse and I don’t see that they are so necessary to produce them at the base, but for some reason I always don’t have enough LMD. Perhaps there are better settings for producing only lmd, but I want my entire base to be at the maximum level, so I'll sit on 3/3/3 for now.
i see, so its not big different. true its more productive 252 and when i look at it its not that i always check my base like every 12 every day. sometimes i just forgot because work. i think many people like 243 because its kinda forgiving (?) when you cant check ontime. welp its fine i guess?
At the end of the day, it's fine either way. 243 may be worse, may be not, but if that fits their preference and life schedule, then it's their decision to keep it.
252 is the best setup, especially after Fiameeta, Provisso and Mlynar added. 5 factory mean you can switch to XP when you have surplus gold or switch back to gold when you run out since Provisso spend so much of it or you can also make Orundum Material and it won't mess up overall production. I don't know why people think 252 can't be used foe endgame, it indeed give more benefit for endgame player like me. Never struggle with XP stage anymore after switch to 252.
This just made me less want to switch ngl, it just reminded me when I used to nerd tf out on discord servers. And I gotta say that just made me feel miserable ngl...
All of you are wrong, 333 is superior in every way imaginable because (some math here idk). Something something rotations something something everything maxed means better.
I am a 243 rotation of powerful operator combos masochist, I need that efficiency and until the right side will be downgradable I will keep suffering bcz HG are d*cks to veteran players
I'll stick with 253 too lazy to change the base and it looks more right to me that everything is upgraded, couldn't careless about producing more lmd or xp , it produces enough for me to not care about changing it
is a 2-5-2 with all factories at lvl 3, training room lvl 3 and only 3 dorms lvl 1 worth? you sacrifice a bunch of pinboard missions rewards (rip texas) and only 1 support unit for friends (no 6*) because you have to leave reception room at lvl 1
Yeah, that's the most idiotic point of this guy. "BuT iT cReAtE MoRe rEsOuRcEs". Well, hell yeah it did. But, considering all the things that you've lost or cannot obtain. It is so stupid to just leave that only for some LMD and EXP that will definitely overshadowed by events rewards.
@@Zyrader brother. You can just upgrade the reception room once you feel comfortable enough to downgrade 2 factories. I was about 4.5 years late into Arknights, and the extra production from a maxed left side 252 had helped me e2 my 6* roster much faster than my friends, which had let me to enjoy more contents like IS and RA. If people make guides in a certain way, I do think they are trying to help everyone. It's just that 243 looks better because everything is maxed out, and a level 1 reception room just doesn't sit right for most people. In which case you guys should really be keeping that to yourselves.
wtf are you even talking about? Yes it is very surprising he made a video on youtube. Most people do talk in their vids. The ones that don't is because either their english is trash, or they live in a tiny home with 17 family members... or both.
Imo i'm just lazy to do 252 Tho you made your points clear and info so i'm sure ppl will stop slapping 252 and instead do it I'm happy with no pp on 243 lmao
I'm a staunch 243 user... because nuildings that aren't maxed would drive me insane. I will make a slight disagreement about the Trust point, though. 200 trust can be valuable for the extra lore information it unlocks in your operators. Does it make a huge difference? No. Do I like having that lore information? Yes.
You aren't making a good case for 2-4-3 whatsoever. You realize that right? These are not at all good reasons to do 243... If you kept your weird quirks to yourself, then this dude wouldn't have to makes graphs and spreadsheets about a freaking video game.
@@Raptchur I'm glad he did because I'm tired of being given shit advice. These 2-4-3 clowns probably are the same ones that almost trolled me into focusing on 5* and 6* operators when 3*'s just work until I can farm mats for 4* E2 and so on.
I've found 15 slot (3 dorm) 252 to be an amazing build, though any upgrades to office or reception room is fatal for that build. I'm confused at the idea that a 15 slot or any of the max right variants of 252 would be considered "not end game" builds. That's just weird, the numbers speak for themselves That being said I keep my main at 243 or 153 or aesthetic reasons or personal need, but the 15 slot alt account has consistently beaten my 243 despite the latter having more E2'd base ops, rotations being way easier with 3 power plants and 4 maxed dorms etc. The debate is basically solved, 252 supremacy is real, but it's pretty silly to treat builds outside of like 006 or something insane like 513 a mistake... A base that's managed will produce plenty of stuff after all TLDR: Yeah people who claim 252 isn't the optimal build are being silly, but the perks of three power plants, especially when HG refuses to let us downgrade the right side, can be too delicious to avoid
I really want to see production calculator for 243 and 252 Max Right assume we have all base skill. Previously calculation point out that 243 6h beat 252 max right but that nearly 1 year ago. Not sure what status of that right now.
@@PeterYRI'm confused at 9:19. If I'm not mistaken, the video said 252 takes 2.5 days to 100% trust an op. But doesn't 100 trust require 10k points? Shouldn't that be impossible to achieve within 2.5 days since we only gain about 270 sanity/day?
That's an average figure, across all 12 operators in a squad. Trust farming alone will raise a single operator to 100% trust in around 42 days, but since you can fit 12 operators in a squad, you can get an operator to 100% trust every 3.5 days on average. Trust from the base will speed this up slightly.

@@xeroxcopy8183why is there so much beef between BASE LAYOUTS holy shit 😭 i’m a returning player after 2.5 years on 252 checking out if the meta changed somehow, thank god it hasn’t but the base community is brazy
I have a question related to a couple Pinboard Missions. In some later Pinboard phases it is required to maxed out ambience in the dorms. Is it possible to complete these Missions with a 252 base layout? Or will I have to swap my layout to a 243 to get the missions done?
You'll only need 5000 total ambience for pinboard missions. This can be easily done by just having 4 dorms with one at level 2. There's another mission for 4000 ambience in a single dorm, which is a bit trickier. Downgrade some factories until you have enough power to upgrade a single dorm to level 4, complete the mission, then undo everything.
@@PeterYR Ahh, I went back to re-read the one related to 5000 ambience and realized I misunderstood it (thought it read each of the four dorms needed to be at 5000 ambience). Much less of a concern now that I understand it. Appreciate the reply and thanks for the work you do here. It's been a big help.
She doesn't hurt 243 in any way, but she benefits infrequent rotation schedules more than frequent schedules. 243 needs frequent rotations to beat 252, so she benefits 252 a lot more. So if you have Fiammetta, 243 can't beat max-right 252 even with frequent rotations.
Can anyone tell me about the base rotations? I am using 333 for reaching 10million LMD which I will in few days. So, I am planning to switch to 253. Just simple note will help.
i wonder if 243 had any chance of catching up to max right 252 if switching to 3 exp factories every few weeks was considered? (from 2 gold factories gold surplus). Before switching my base to 252 i used to do exactly that, collect about 400 gold bars and then switch to 1 gold 3 exp for ~52 exp cards a day.
This is similar to having 1 flex factory in 252 and droning only TPs. It matches 252's LMD production, but overall production doesn't increase. For most players, this will actually decrease overall production, as there are many EXP-only factory base skills that a single factory won't be able to utilize.
As someone who rarely logins twice a day, i am keeping 243 thanks Also about the lmd and exp thing, fifth factory can also be used by people like me for orundum farming
You should have logged in instead of watching a video that you know wouldn't change your mind. How can a fifth factory be used for orundum if you don't have 5 factories? No wonder he has so many examples of 243 lovers that are easily proved wrong. It's plain to see that 243 users are casuals. That they don't want to put in the time or effort and show up to comment or watch these vids because they resent the people that do.
Hi Peter, I hope you can answer my question Is the difference between 243 and max right side 252, the amount of gold and EXP produced? I did my own math (not sure if it's correct) and I see that max right 252 produces more gold/exp depending on the last factory. However this doesn't affect the productivity of the trading post right? Meaning that both produce the same amount of LMD if I do the same 12h rotations (unless certain base skills). If that's the case, if I maintain my 243 I'd only lose out on EXP production right? Since my gold always maintains between 250-300 bars.
@@PeterYR thank you for replying. Currently I use drones when Shamare setup is present, and when they rest I dump it all for EXP. Inefficient it may be, I'm happy I've improved from randomly assigning characters to having a rotating schedule.
I confuse when I use 243 setup the riic report factory exp and gold combine worth about 80,000 but when I switch to 252 it down to about 70,000 why is that I know the report can be manipulate but if I maintain them the best uptime 252 should have higher number no ? the trading post still have about the same number both 243 and 252
Thanks for the info dude, decided to switch over to 2/5/2 on both accounts and am looking forward to seeing the difference. Seeing all of the high construction mats that are left over made me feel like a bit of a bozo (all that wasted sanity, oof.)

At the end of the day, it's fine either way. 243 may be worse, may be not, but if that fits their preference and life schedule, then it's their decision to keep it.
My guy just exposed how people are bad at math.
Ok, you have me convinced why 252 is good... Too bad I just don't care about switching
2-4-3 for OCD ppl like me
252 is the best setup, especially after Fiameeta, Provisso and Mlynar added. 5 factory mean you can switch to XP when you have surplus gold or switch back to gold when you run out since Provisso spend so much of it or you can also make Orundum Material and it won't mess up overall production.
I don't know why people think 252 can't be used foe endgame, it indeed give more benefit for endgame player like me. Never struggle with XP stage anymore after switch to 252.
but my 24hr rotations
no one tell him about any 252 without max-right pepela
@@PeterYR didn't neia and like 2 other weehs nerds come up with a 24 rotation that beats best 252
your voice overs are pretty good imo. just saying
This just made me less want to switch ngl, it just reminded me when I used to nerd tf out on discord servers.
And I gotta say that just made me feel miserable ngl...
All of you are wrong, 333 is superior in every way imaginable because (some math here idk).
Something something rotations something something everything maxed means better.
This is pretty entertaining as a 3/3/3 base player xd
I am a 243 rotation of powerful operator combos masochist, I need that efficiency and until the right side will be downgradable I will keep suffering bcz HG are d*cks to veteran players
Are you sleeping like 5h for years ZAMN
I'll stick with 253 too lazy to change the base and it looks more right to me that everything is upgraded, couldn't careless about producing more lmd or xp , it produces enough for me to not care about changing it
is a 2-5-2 with all factories at lvl 3, training room lvl 3 and only 3 dorms lvl 1 worth? you sacrifice a bunch of pinboard missions rewards (rip texas) and only 1 support unit for friends (no 6*) because you have to leave reception room at lvl 1
Yeah, that's the most idiotic point of this guy. "BuT iT cReAtE MoRe rEsOuRcEs". Well, hell yeah it did. But, considering all the things that you've lost or cannot obtain. It is so stupid to just leave that only for some LMD and EXP that will definitely overshadowed by events rewards.
@@Zyrader brother. You can just upgrade the reception room once you feel comfortable enough to downgrade 2 factories. I was about 4.5 years late into Arknights, and the extra production from a maxed left side 252 had helped me e2 my 6* roster much faster than my friends, which had let me to enjoy more contents like IS and RA.
If people make guides in a certain way, I do think they are trying to help everyone. It's just that 243 looks better because everything is maxed out, and a level 1 reception room just doesn't sit right for most people. In which case you guys should really be keeping that to yourselves.
Now that Base will be updated on Laptop patch, I might switch to 252 and start nerdmaxxing
okay, I'm sold
with great video comes great comment section
he realized how to catch the views of all the en players, if en players cant read......he made video to make them watch.
outstanding move
wtf are you even talking about? Yes it is very surprising he made a video on youtube. Most people do talk in their vids. The ones that don't is because either their english is trash, or they live in a tiny home with 17 family members... or both.

I used 333 for about... idk since release or so, 252 it is. ty
i dream of proviso at night
Imo i'm just lazy to do 252
Tho you made your points clear and info so i'm sure ppl will stop slapping 252 and instead do it
I'm happy with no pp on 243 lmao
I just switched to 252 and i gotta say my base looks weird af
@Andrew bruh what
I'm a staunch 243 user... because nuildings that aren't maxed would drive me insane. I will make a slight disagreement about the Trust point, though. 200 trust can be valuable for the extra lore information it unlocks in your operators. Does it make a huge difference? No. Do I like having that lore information? Yes.
You aren't making a good case for 2-4-3 whatsoever. You realize that right? These are not at all good reasons to do 243... If you kept your weird quirks to yourself, then this dude wouldn't have to makes graphs and spreadsheets about a freaking video game.
@@Raptchur I'm glad he did because I'm tired of being given shit advice. These 2-4-3 clowns probably are the same ones that almost trolled me into focusing on 5* and 6* operators when 3*'s just work until I can farm mats for 4* E2 and so on.
i'm using 2-4-3 at the moment and i felt like it was very underwhelming. i'm going to try 2-5-2 and see how that go.
thanks to the advice
I've found 15 slot (3 dorm) 252 to be an amazing build, though any upgrades to office or reception room is fatal for that build. I'm confused at the idea that a 15 slot or any of the max right variants of 252 would be considered "not end game" builds. That's just weird, the numbers speak for themselves
That being said I keep my main at 243 or 153 or aesthetic reasons or personal need, but the 15 slot alt account has consistently beaten my 243 despite the latter having more E2'd base ops, rotations being way easier with 3 power plants and 4 maxed dorms etc. The debate is basically solved, 252 supremacy is real, but it's pretty silly to treat builds outside of like 006 or something insane like 513 a mistake... A base that's managed will produce plenty of stuff after all
TLDR: Yeah people who claim 252 isn't the optimal build are being silly, but the perks of three power plants, especially when HG refuses to let us downgrade the right side, can be too delicious to avoid
I really want to see production calculator for 243 and 252 Max Right assume we have all base skill. Previously calculation point out that 243 6h beat 252 max right but that nearly 1 year ago. Not sure what status of that right now.
We get almost 3k trust per day by spending sanity alone? Isn't it 1:1?
Every operator in the squad gets 1 trust per sanity spent; it doesn't get spread out across the squad.
@@PeterYRI'm confused at 9:19. If I'm not mistaken, the video said 252 takes 2.5 days to 100% trust an op. But doesn't 100 trust require 10k points? Shouldn't that be impossible to achieve within 2.5 days since we only gain about 270 sanity/day?
That's an average figure, across all 12 operators in a squad. Trust farming alone will raise a single operator to 100% trust in around 42 days, but since you can fit 12 operators in a squad, you can get an operator to 100% trust every 3.5 days on average. Trust from the base will speed this up slightly.
@@PeterYR Ah. So that's why. Thank you for the explanation.
If people argue about balance use 333 then lol
Me who doesn't know what is 252 and 243. I'm using 333
I use 342 and when i need upgrade materials its sucks. Regen in dorm is so slow

what's with 200% trust for friend to borrow it? first time i heard abt it
Support units trust effect is halved, so if your operator's trust is at 100%, others who use them will have the effect at 50%
I have a question related to a couple Pinboard Missions. In some later Pinboard phases it is required to maxed out ambience in the dorms. Is it possible to complete these Missions with a 252 base layout? Or will I have to swap my layout to a 243 to get the missions done?
You'll only need 5000 total ambience for pinboard missions. This can be easily done by just having 4 dorms with one at level 2. There's another mission for 4000 ambience in a single dorm, which is a bit trickier. Downgrade some factories until you have enough power to upgrade a single dorm to level 4, complete the mission, then undo everything.
@@PeterYR Ahh, I went back to re-read the one related to 5000 ambience and realized I misunderstood it (thought it read each of the four dorms needed to be at 5000 ambience). Much less of a concern now that I understand it. Appreciate the reply and thanks for the work you do here. It's been a big help.
@PeterYR why is having Fiammetta a bad idea for 243? She's been great since I got her...
She doesn't hurt 243 in any way, but she benefits infrequent rotation schedules more than frequent schedules. 243 needs frequent rotations to beat 252, so she benefits 252 a lot more. So if you have Fiammetta, 243 can't beat max-right 252 even with frequent rotations.
to be dead honest. I don't understand most of the things that where just said.
Can anyone tell me about the base rotations?
I am using 333 for reaching 10million LMD which I will in few days. So, I am planning to switch to 253. Just simple note will help.
253 arknights en base hack working october 2022??????
@@valoronions 1) If I search this in youtube I find Freefire content. 2) It would be a shame to use hack in AK as an AK player.
i wonder if 243 had any chance of catching up to max right 252 if switching to 3 exp factories every few weeks was considered? (from 2 gold factories gold surplus). Before switching my base to 252 i used to do exactly that, collect about 400 gold bars and then switch to 1 gold 3 exp for ~52 exp cards a day.
This is similar to having 1 flex factory in 252 and droning only TPs. It matches 252's LMD production, but overall production doesn't increase. For most players, this will actually decrease overall production, as there are many EXP-only factory base skills that a single factory won't be able to utilize.
@@PeterYR ah! alright. i have almost everyone except gnosis carmelian and archetto, so maybe that's why it seemed like a lot to me
As someone who rarely logins twice a day, i am keeping 243 thanks
Also about the lmd and exp thing, fifth factory can also be used by people like me for orundum farming
You should have logged in instead of watching a video that you know wouldn't change your mind. How can a fifth factory be used for orundum if you don't have 5 factories? No wonder he has so many examples of 243 lovers that are easily proved wrong. It's plain to see that 243 users are casuals. That they don't want to put in the time or effort and show up to comment or watch these vids because they resent the people that do.
People really don't know anything about 252 if they think it needs frequent log ins. And it's clear you're not going to bother researching anyways
Orundum in factory is so slow that it's a waste to do it but even if you do it, it's better with 5 factories.
why do you not talk about doing a 252 with 3 dorms instead of 4 dorms? Just dont level the office and reception room and isnt that peak efficieny?
Is 252 better? Yes. Do I care? No.
Hi Peter, I hope you can answer my question
Is the difference between 243 and max right side 252, the amount of gold and EXP produced? I did my own math (not sure if it's correct) and I see that max right 252 produces more gold/exp depending on the last factory. However this doesn't affect the productivity of the trading post right? Meaning that both produce the same amount of LMD if I do the same 12h rotations (unless certain base skills). If that's the case, if I maintain my 243 I'd only lose out on EXP production right? Since my gold always maintains between 250-300 bars.
5:03
With 3 factories on gold, 252 can dump all drones into trading posts. 243 can't do this without quickly running out of gold.
@@PeterYR thank you for replying. Currently I use drones when Shamare setup is present, and when they rest I dump it all for EXP. Inefficient it may be, I'm happy I've improved from randomly assigning characters to having a rotating schedule.
I confuse when I use 243 setup the riic report factory exp and gold combine worth about 80,000
but when I switch to 252 it down to about 70,000 why is that
I know the report can be manipulate but if I maintain them the best uptime 252 should have higher number no ?
the trading post still have about the same number both 243 and 252
Thanks for the info dude, decided to switch over to 2/5/2 on both accounts and am looking forward to seeing the difference. Seeing all of the high construction mats that are left over made me feel like a bit of a bozo (all that wasted sanity, oof.)
