I always go for 243 setup. I set the production to alternate between exp and lmd based on amount of days left on a month. I hoard a lot of gold bars until the start of new month. Then I switch to exp production and enjoy both having peak exp and lmd production. When the gold bars run out, I shift into gold bar production and still end it at the end of the month no matter how many days are left. Even if I run out of gold bars just 3 days before the month changes.
I use the same set up too, but I feel like I currently have so many exp while I keep running out of lmd. Part of me want to try 333 again but I'm afraid that I'd run out of exp somehow, or maybe i'm just bad at what I pick to work on
Based. I use the same set-up, but i tend to do a 50/50 split on gold and lmd. Currently using Provisio to get a lot of lmd real fast. She's good at her job.
I wish Arknights makes us easier to switch operators in an instant between DORMITORY and other FACILITIES based on their state and skill, or optional is better (If it's specific priorities operator that is the best). Instead of "Base > Overview > Billion Clicks".

I would loooove a guide on high production base combinations. Gamepress used to have one but it's like 3 years out of date now and there are so many new and good operator base combos. I'm sure there are some I'm missing out on because I'm not getting every operator to E2 so a video on that would be much appreciated.
a lot of info circulates mostly on the gamepress discord's ak section, which sucks because from there it's not accessible to the public while searching. there's a google doc that's up to date and gets passed around pretty frequently in the server. afaik a bunch of the people who used to write articles stopped playing, and something was up with the host of the site i think? i just know that several months ago all the comments disappeared and no one can comment on any new articles, that feature is just gone, so more and more, info gets confined towards the server.
Even if Gamepress is outdated, I don't think there are that many or any new good operator base combo currently in global. At least, no one that isn't going to result in the same rate as existing combos or that their skill description are straight-foreword and don't really need a "combo" to be good. Some that I noticed are: - Gnosis being able to negate Jaye's E1 downside which increase the efficiency with Jaye/SilverAsh/Cliffheart from a 95% to a 125% production (although not better then running a Tequila/Shamare/Bibeak setup with a Fiammetta to keep the ramp-up) - Greyy the Lightningbearer being another +20% drone recovery operator and can improve gold production for those using operator who uses power plant to increase factory productivity (Passenger, Eunectes, Weedy, etc) at E2 - Heidi with a +35% Trading Post efficiency (same as Exusiai) - Proviso (Idk about this one, I heard people saying she has a strong combo but I don't see it) - Highmore opening up more possible operators to get a total of +90% Trading Post efficiency when running with Mizuki, which is simply the standard total for most operators - Dorothy who would just bring up Rhine Lab operators Factory productivity from +75% to +90% (This will increase to 95% after Silence Alter release with her +30% Rhine Technology·γ skill which can increase to +35%) Let me know if I'm missing anyone drastic, since everyone else either have straight-foreword descriptions, the same existing productivity, base skills with complex description that basically provide the same productivity, base skill that requires a lot of maintenance and has too many constraints and tradeoffs (Such as the Worldly Plight or Sensory Information mess), or that they're just default base skill that aren't used in any combos.
@@andrewnguyen1117 Provisio is broken in that she makes it so that any order that is not 4 gold bars, get +1k lmd while still taking the same amount of time for the base value (1k and 1.5k production time), so 1k becomes 2k and 1.5k becomes 2.5k. this gets extremely good for 2-5-2 setups because you can leave a trading post at lvl2 (which cannot produce 4 gold bar orders at all) and upgrade another factory to lvl3 for more gold bars or exp. it is still good in 2-4-3 setups but lower efficiency due to the fact that lvl3 trading post do not benefit when the order is 4. for me Provisio eats up so many gold bars that I end up having to swap between 3 gold, 2 exp and 3 exp, 2 gold for my 2-5-2 set up.

I really like how this topic is approached from. It’s not like what you should be doing, but rather what you can do so you can choose to do whatever in the mentioned which you’re willing to do or okay with. Great explanation.
Great video! Even from a day 1 player who cares about the base I still learned something new with that timer telling when ops would be either done producing or out of morale
Even as someone that already researched a lot of about base guides, this still provided some information I didn't really know (especially the time left to track how much time it'll take to fill up capacity / become exhausted)! Would be interesting to see a guide that has a peak base that maximizes LMD / EXP and overall resources just as a comparison to what the base that people are currently using.
The other guy's recent video *was* factually correct on the base itself; his main problem imo was that his analysis of who should use which layout was way off.
Thanka kukki Finally turns out i have the potential to have 60k lmd per day and 12k exp never though about ops placement before and now ops give usually a minimum of 30% productivity and the timer function helps a lot
This is a very comprehensive guide kukki! Thank you very much! I'm very much the "random bullshit go!" type player and Ive just been using the base to farm trust Just today i finally learned how to change the facility types 😅 i wont be min maxing my base anytime soon, but this is very helpful in understanding what my base and operators are doing, thank you!
I researeched and experimented on my own but i still learned something new from this vid. Thank you so much for making this i always love your guides, cause you teach concepts
Thanks for dedicating so much time to this series. One thing I noticed, your camera lenses on your phones or cameras look smudged with finger grease - I'd give them a good wipe down, the resulting video may be quite a bit clearer. Cheers!
I've been averaging around 33K/33K in my 2/3/4 base, which I'm pretty happy with. I do log on multiple times to check the base, but I normally don't spend much time looking at the base skills of the Operators I assign to facilities. Might be worth looking up a combo that works well, I suppose.
I wanted to improve my lmd productivity with pozemka so I´ve spent almost 3 hours in a row testing different setups, the results of my journy is (with my current ops) kirara and tuye work well with pozemka and I have to set 4 gold lines for maximum lmd printing, with this I learned that complicated base skill sometimes are Order Sensitive, with all my setup having kirara-pozemka-tuye with 4 durin and 4 gold lines gives 160% but if switch to pozemka-kirara-tuye it goes down below 120%. The lesson: if you want to get better numbers then star trying different setups, even the order of the ops
@@Code_DarkWolf Fair enough. Personally I just stick with one Trading Post with the Tequila/Shamare/Bibeak setup, and with Fiammetta, I never have to switch them out with someone else (except for Tequila, since he only needs to be in the Trading Post before an order is complete)
Cant wait for the next video. I still want to stick with my 2-4-3 base but want to improve my LMD productivity since my base can only generate 30-37k LMD per day but I see generally people can do 50-60k per day, even with 2-4-3 base.
Speaking by experience here, I think the most notable differences I feel when changing from 2-4-3 to 2-5-2 is mainly decrease in trust gain but the extra productions from 2-5-2 is pretty nice but negligible for me because now I mainly focusing on trust farming. I do have to point out the main benefit of 2-5-2 is cheap costs to build when you're still new rather than 2-4-3 that's quite expensive especially for new player.
Well i do have to point out that 243 main benefit is too "look nice". 252 with minimum right (lv 1 rr,Lv 3 workshop, lv 1 office, lv 3 tr) is still best for both new player and old player in term of base production
@@Nian91131 new player also benefit from not having to max level dorm, basically only need 1 level 2 dorms and the rest is level 1. If you want your base to be all max leveled, try to go for 243. But I think for new players maximizing production with the least amount of requirement is really important so they can get sustainable resources ASAP, 252 is the answer.
243 is good for me, I'm the kind of guy who likes pretty neat things and a comfortable system, and hey my daily TP is still 60k- 65k or if I'm lucky with Shamare+Tequila combo 70k
The timer is always the time for the ops to keep working, if you want to know how much time it takes to fill a trading post you have to do the math with the max capacity number, que amount of slots it uses, the time it takes for a item to be made, and the reduction of time because of productivity, with ends up being (too much math to be bothered)
Just to simplify it, 24 morale will keep an operator working for up to 24 hours. (Note: I'm not including operator's base skill) Each active operators that are in the Control Center will reduce -0.05 morale for all working operator in the base. If 1/3 operators is in a trading post or factory station, they'll consume 1 morale per hour; 2/3 operators will consume 0.95 morale per hour; and 3/3 operator will consume 0.9 morale per hour. So at best, an average operator would drain all 24/24 morale in almost 37 hours (or 36 hour and 55 minute). 24 / 0.65 = 36.92~
My base setup is 3-3-3 when my gold reserve are 1000+. I get around 55-60k with this setup with login twice per day swapping operator and collecting resource. When my golds are depleted, i swap to 2-4-3 while swapping 1 blue and Orange room with orundum shard. At this time i spend my sanity farming rocks, it last around 10 days then i switch back to 3-3-3. I dont farm xp because my f2p player resource wont let me build a lot of operator anyway. With thise setup i am comfortable playing arknight without hindering my daily activity.
Nice, thanks. I really appreciate to know what I don't understand. I don't like seeing calculations.. I had headache sometimes so that's the last thing I want to see. As for combos I usually used different skill icons each time. Like the ones with exps, exp icon + either productivity/special icon + capacity increase. Same with gold. Never thought about efficiency. And as for trading posts.. I just picked whoever people said good combos or the ones with unique icons like Jaye, Tuye, Snowsant, etc. I tried trio Texas Lappland Exia combo but they're always 1-2 gold each order. I prefer 3-4 gold more so I'm waiting for your next videos. Control center is also random. I heard the r6 combo but I don't have them.
I had my doubts about wether you'd be able to capture the complexity surrounding what people feels about base management. Then right at the first segment you're striking true at it, thats.... breathtaking. But then 5:26 this is gold
It's actually a measure of both. The best way to look at it is "time until workers stop working" whether it be because of complete morale drain or because there is no more capacity to make more items with.
@@SuzakuBlitz Yep, also would like to add, at the bare minimum, 24 morale would drain in 24 hours, having a command center with 5 operators will increase it to 32 hour and for the individual factories/trading post, having 2 or 3 operators working will increase it to ~32.28 and ~36.92 hours (this is excluding operators’ skills that can further increase or decrease their morale time).
For factory, the time remaining is actually for when the station fill up, up until they run out of of morale. This is because the operator should be able to work for over 24 hours (excluding skill that increase morale uses), and that if you gather the resource, the time would increase up until the point their morale would hit 0. Trading Post doesn’t do that and just shows the full morale time.
I'm more into "Ohh this is the same icon like the others, so i place them together". Idk if that efficient, but i go with that for know. The thing is i want to learn more. So here's my question sensei. The more Efficiency is more good right?? So i need to put the best one with highest number of Efficiency??
More Productivity and Efficiency is better - it means you are producing more and thus increasing the overall rewards. The caveat being if you don't allow your base to hit capacity because your workers are working fast fast fast fast fast then stop because they literally cannot make anymore - but this is only a problem with people who login once a day. If you do two logins like most typical Arknights players, this should not be a concern.
Time to flex your base tryhards! Mine is 32k XP and 55k goldbars, since i'm using the drones to speed up trading post i get 62k lmd through trading post
When Kukki says see you in the next video and there is no next video. My trust, crushed. I guess I have to rely on guides with audio that sound like they're in a washing machine now. Unfortunate. Surely.
He'll be splitting the videos up into three parts which are 20 minutes segments each. I am imaging the other two are being edited, so we should be seeing them soon. You can check the Community section of the channel to see he made a poll asking if viewers would prefer one very long single video or three 20-minute separate videos.
Yes pls daddy kukki, educate me about all the combos. I literally E2 Mr Nothing only because he looks good in his skin, but now you are telling me he is useful in the base!?!
Mr. Nothing ends up being a very strong operator with Provisio - the caveat being you need access to all the Sui Siblings (E2 Ling, rest can be E0) and Mulberry E2 to make him reach STRONK productivity. It's not worth E2ing those operators just for base slave purposes, but the total +efficiency on Mr. Nothing becomes 75% which is absolutely absurd for a single operator to have when the typical average is +30%
@@SuzakuBlitz oh wow, OK I need to be more educated on these combos, definitely Ling at E2 cos she is trust farm queen, I have all sui siblings except Nian and mulberry is staying at lv 1 because Eyja alter is broken
@@ExDarkx3 That would still be a +50% efficiency. Try it yourself :) Put Mr. Nothing in a Trading Post and fill your dormitories (doesn't matter if full morale as long as they exist) and put Ling, Dusk, and Chong in your Command Centre. Should get you that +50% value.
14:01 I still don't understand why the game just don't add . and : to make it less confusing. Withcraft crystal is related to jieyun skill, which is eh as of currently. (Half of these required limited operators so don't bother with worldy plight if you're new)
Don’t worry, as long as you have Gnosis you can actually have a better rate when you use Jaye with SilverAsh and Cliffheart, and they are currently the second (or third) best combo for trading post.
this is the best for me who will only log in once per day, even then i dont even rotate exp factory anymore, i can easily stack them so only store and gold factory (so only 4 parts) for lmd and only rotates 12 out of 20 dorm slot bcs of that too, and its on once per 2 days basis. technically i should rotate them on 1.5 day basis but thats a huge hassle. a 13th is rotated only when Masteries is going
The order of the numbers as used in the community is {trading posts, factories, power plants}. Most people run either 243 or 252. Other setups are possible, but are usually temporary or for specific needs.
Damn i never knew the TP and F itself show how high the productivity is D:" Nice to know something to maybe try some stuff out myself. But since u asked in the video personally i would like to see a video of Operator combos and why they are good.
please do theBase TEAMS bro. especially the Worldly Plight VS Sensory info situation. Dusk and Ling tell me they work together but Whisperain and Mulberry (because theres only 1 HR spot) make me think they are separate
For Whisperain and Mulberry... From what i read you basically base them on how much morale is left with the Suis since they will affect either the trading post (Worldly Plight) or factory ( Memory Fragment/Perception Information...
Dusk and Ling works together since Ling's first base skill "Keep the Wine Flowing" remove self-affecting mood reduction effects, as in the self mood reduction per hour +0.5 on Dusk's second base skill "Unmoved by Loss" or Chongyue's first base skill "Knowing Yourself, to be Yourself" The thing about Ling and Dusk is the way they generate Worldly Plight and Sensory Information are opposite: Ling creates 15 Worldly Plight when "above" 12 morale and 10 Sensory Information when "below" 12 morale. Dusk creates 15 Worldly Plight when "below" 12 morale and 10 Sensory Information when "above" 12 morale. In short, they cancel each other out so that at least one of them will be creating 15 Worldly Plight while the other will be creating 10 Sensory Information. As for the Whisperain and Mulberry situation, that's a different story. Whisperain creates up to 20 Memory Fragments (since 2 of the 4 recruitment slot are initial slots) while Mulberry creates 20 Worldly Plight. *_However,_* literally none of the Operators that I mentioned above (except Chongyue, but he was just as an example) uses Worldly Plight or Sensory Information. They only create them. The only operators that uses Worldly Plight are Chongyue, Jieyun, Mr. Nothing, and Wind Chimes. Meanwhile, the only operators that uses Sensory Information are Rosmontis and Ebenholz. Therefore, if you don't use any operators that uses Worldly Plight or Sensory Information, then there's no reason to create Worldly Plight or Sensory Information.
im running 2 trading posts 4 factories. 2 factories pumping exp 2 factories pumping out gold bars. my entire goal is to have steady income of exp and lmd. I have this setup since game release and i'm quite pleased with its performance. my issue with all this base shenanigan is operator skills and manually setting up workers. I think the game needs to have some kind of auto option to setup automatically good combo of workers in your base. Not gonna lie all this base management shit made me play the game less. I still log regularly but at some point of time i had days to weeks where i didnt log, because it felt tedious and game didnt have content at that time.
Ah, I wondered how to keep the power consumption low enough to have higher-level trading posts and factories; all your dormitories are like level 1. I'll adjust that. I don't think I have the correct operators for the more advanced production crews. I usually change out my operators every 24 hours or so but... I think I'll start looking at how long they can last and what their production efficiency bonus is now. I mean I was looking at that before, but the more intricate parts eluded me. Also, I've done 14 hours of law lectures today in preparation for my example your 20-minute video is nothing! BRING MORE ON!
Personally, I manage my base so if I don't have a lot of time, it's okay for me to only check in on it once a day. Having the R6 squad is absolutely invaluable to having a 100% operator rotation if you usually leave your power plants empty like I do. I'm super lazy, but I still manage to have a surplus of EXP and LMD at all times with zero farming.
No one in the power plants is basically lost opportunity for more production. They don't even need to have PP skills (though of course relevant skills would be better).
Hi kukki, I was wondering if you also have in plan to make a guide on the various command center synergies too? All I know is the brainless R6 team in there and that's it, and I kinda want to stray away from that finally
While there are other command center synergies, I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you are willing to spend even more time managing operator from the command center as well. (And even more if they require other operator to use the resource the command center produce, For example: Using Ling or Dusk for Rosmontis in the Factory and Mr. Nothing in the Trading Post, or Alter Yato and Noir for the those 1* Cats)
I take back what I said, I just recently found a strong command center setup for players who want to make all operators morale last as long as possible with Młynar and 4 other operators providing default +0.05 morale recovery. The thing is that this doesn't work with R6 Operator. Which this setup, you can add about ~20 hours to every operators in the Power Plant, Factory, Trading Post, HR Office, and Reception Room which lets a player have a longer frame to switch out Factory or Trading Post combos. While you won't be able to have an R6 Command Center with 1 Operator buffing Factories or Trading Post, it should make the base more flexible.
To people that don't want to engage with the base gameplay: why are you even playing this game? Why do you spend your time on it when there are things you don't like? If you don't like it - just quit. I honestly don't understand this half-assed approach when you do engage with the content of the game, but just barely because you don't like it. Gacha games are designed to put you in a disadvantage to encourage you to spend money. So to have a good time with it, you have to play as optimally as you can, or spend money. Or don't bother at all
What? Why should people be engaged with base to enjoy or play Arknights? Arknights is mostly about tower defense not base simulator. I don't see any problem with people that doesn't want to bother with base because it's actually annoying. People can still enjoy playing Arknights maybe because it is a fun tower defense game with additional gameplay (IS, SSS) or because Arknights has good story and world building. I don't see any logic reasons in 'people should quit Arknights because they don't want to engage with base'
You cannot spend money to do anything in the base, in fact you will just lose rl money for nothing. Base gives lmd and exp tickets, and these 2 resources, without base, is a crawl to farm, imagine spending 300 sanity just for a dust of lmd that cant even cover the cost of an operator to base minimum level to equip module from 0. Like it or not, people that hate the base mechanic as a whole still have to at least half-assed the base just for a functional and automated farm for the 2 most universally needed resources. Base is essential not just for how much automation they gives but also how much sanity, both versions of them, theyll save by existing. And also, you cant show them the door, that is not how any game works, in general. It is okay to hate or have a or multiple issues with a or some part of the game and love the other parts, that shows that youre a real fan of the game instead of being blinded and calling a game perfect in every way when it clearly is an issue
Frankly, between the 8:20 and 14:55 marks (before and after which is very good), this feels like the most barebones guide... Like, yes, as you mentioned I can see the total productivity by trying stuff out, but it's much faster to just math it out... it's addition guys... Furthermore, you go through that scenario of "Oh I don't know how Dorothy skill works, let's try it out". Is the implication to combine Dorothy with every other operator to see if the production happens to go higher than expected while still not understanding why it works? I don't think this is teaching anything other than reading comprehension... Maybe if some combos are weak then sure, maybe it's worse than just putting in three 25% productivity boost operators, but most of the time if it specifically calls out other ops, the combo isn't weak. It's not like you don't still need to read the skills. The second part of the video is really just "Oh if you aren't sure what this skill does, did you know you can test it out? If you don't want to do Math, did you know you can just do trial and error and check the results?" I also think that there could've been some mention that newer players are likely to have a lower amount of LMD and EXP gained, especially if they haven't finished their base and/or have many operators that boost productivity.

Some that I noticed are:
- Gnosis being able to negate Jaye's E1 downside which increase the efficiency with Jaye/SilverAsh/Cliffheart from a 95% to a 125% production (although not better then running a Tequila/Shamare/Bibeak setup with a Fiammetta to keep the ramp-up)
- Greyy the Lightningbearer being another +20% drone recovery operator and can improve gold production for those using operator who uses power plant to increase factory productivity (Passenger, Eunectes, Weedy, etc) at E2
- Heidi with a +35% Trading Post efficiency (same as Exusiai)
- Proviso (Idk about this one, I heard people saying she has a strong combo but I don't see it)
- Highmore opening up more possible operators to get a total of +90% Trading Post efficiency when running with Mizuki, which is simply the standard total for most operators
- Dorothy who would just bring up Rhine Lab operators Factory productivity from +75% to +90% (This will increase to 95% after Silence Alter release with her +30% Rhine Technology·γ skill which can increase to +35%)
Let me know if I'm missing anyone drastic, since everyone else either have straight-foreword descriptions, the same existing productivity, base skills with complex description that basically provide the same productivity, base skill that requires a lot of maintenance and has too many constraints and tradeoffs (Such as the Worldly Plight or Sensory Information mess), or that they're just default base skill that aren't used in any combos.
@@andrewnguyen1117 Provisio is broken in that she makes it so that any order that is not 4 gold bars, get +1k lmd while still taking the same amount of time for the base value (1k and 1.5k production time), so 1k becomes 2k and 1.5k becomes 2.5k. this gets extremely good for 2-5-2 setups because you can leave a trading post at lvl2 (which cannot produce 4 gold bar orders at all) and upgrade another factory to lvl3 for more gold bars or exp. it is still good in 2-4-3 setups but lower efficiency due to the fact that lvl3 trading post do not benefit when the order is 4. for me Provisio eats up so many gold bars that I end up having to swap between 3 gold, 2 exp and 3 exp, 2 gold for my 2-5-2 set up.

Thank you for the right way to teach about the base, from now on I'll point any new doctor to your two base videos. ;)
Even as someone that already researched a lot of about base guides, this still provided some information I didn't really know (especially the time left to track how much time it'll take to fill up capacity / become exhausted)!
Would be interesting to see a guide that has a peak base that maximizes LMD / EXP and overall resources just as a comparison to what the base that people are currently using.
Thank you Kukki for putting so much time and effort into making such incredibly useful, and more importantly factual, content!
The other guy's recent video *was* factually correct on the base itself; his main problem imo was that his analysis of who should use which layout was way off.
@@iJedi_ayeNope there were a ton of misinformation regarding certain aspects of base. You can find Peter's full critique in the 1m kukki drama vid.
Ok now this is more in depth. Really grateful for the explanation. ❤
i've been waiting for this video for long, bless you Kukki youre so smart 🙏
I just came back to arknights and this is the perfect video to get back in the groove of things, heck yeah 😃
sameee
You just missed the Monster Hunter collab that happened.
Thanka kukki Finally turns out i have the potential to have 60k lmd per day and 12k exp never though about ops placement before and now ops give usually a minimum of 30% productivity and the timer function helps a lot
This is a very comprehensive guide kukki! Thank you very much! I'm very much the "random bullshit go!" type player and Ive just been using the base to farm trust
Just today i finally learned how to change the facility types 😅 i wont be min maxing my base anytime soon, but this is very helpful in understanding what my base and operators are doing, thank you!
The Jaye, Silverash, Cliffheart, Gnosis combo is my favourite
I researeched and experimented on my own but i still learned something new from this vid.
Thank you so much for making this i always love your guides, cause you teach concepts
Good tips. I was at least happy that my "random bullshit go" tactic was bringing in 23k xp and 36k LMD per day. Now they should be doing better.
Thanks for dedicating so much time to this series. One thing I noticed, your camera lenses on your phones or cameras look smudged with finger grease - I'd give them a good wipe down, the resulting video may be quite a bit clearer. Cheers!
ive been waiting this video for a year. finaly you remember what you've promised
It happened! It's here! I am a witness!
15:20
Yes please on base operators combos
I've been averaging around 33K/33K in my 2/3/4 base, which I'm pretty happy with. I do log on multiple times to check the base, but I normally don't spend much time looking at the base skills of the Operators I assign to facilities. Might be worth looking up a combo that works well, I suppose.
I wanted to improve my lmd productivity with pozemka so I´ve spent almost 3 hours in a row testing different setups, the results of my journy is (with my current ops) kirara and tuye work well with pozemka and I have to set 4 gold lines for maximum lmd printing, with this I learned that complicated base skill sometimes are Order Sensitive, with all my setup having kirara-pozemka-tuye with 4 durin and 4 gold lines gives 160% but if switch to pozemka-kirara-tuye it goes down below 120%. The lesson: if you want to get better numbers then star trying different setups, even the order of the ops
While 160% is high, the fact that you would need to use 7 operators for it to work make it a bit complicated for my liking.
@@Zack_Zander yeah it's complicated but I already use those ops so I synced them up for better performance
@@Code_DarkWolf
Fair enough. Personally I just stick with one Trading Post with the Tequila/Shamare/Bibeak setup, and with Fiammetta, I never have to switch them out with someone else (except for Tequila, since he only needs to be in the Trading Post before an order is complete)
This is what arkpedia should be. Nailed it, thx uncle
Welcome everyone in arknights zoom meeting and our theme today is Base
Ft. Kukkikaze as our supervisor and informants
everyone take notes, these will be on the test
I think Kukkikaze was an Arknights professor for beginners.
Cant wait for the next video. I still want to stick with my 2-4-3 base but want to improve my LMD productivity since my base can only generate 30-37k LMD per day but I see generally people can do 50-60k per day, even with 2-4-3 base.
Thank you for doing a real base management guide, i got a seizure watching the arkchive one
Thank you Prof Kukki! I learned a lot! :0!!!!
kukki: lets go
*video ends*
me: wtf man
Speaking by experience here, I think the most notable differences I feel when changing from 2-4-3 to 2-5-2 is mainly decrease in trust gain but the extra productions from 2-5-2 is pretty nice but negligible for me because now I mainly focusing on trust farming. I do have to point out the main benefit of 2-5-2 is cheap costs to build when you're still new rather than 2-4-3 that's quite expensive especially for new player.
Well i do have to point out that 243 main benefit is too "look nice". 252 with minimum right (lv 1 rr,Lv 3 workshop, lv 1 office, lv 3 tr) is still best for both new player and old player in term of base production
@@Nian91131 new player also benefit from not having to max level dorm, basically only need 1 level 2 dorms and the rest is level 1. If you want your base to be all max leveled, try to go for 243. But I think for new players maximizing production with the least amount of requirement is really important so they can get sustainable resources ASAP, 252 is the answer.
Yes arkpedia is back!!!!
243 is good for me, I'm the kind of guy who likes pretty neat things and a comfortable system, and hey my daily TP is still 60k- 65k or if I'm lucky with Shamare+Tequila combo 70k
Great vid!!!! very nice format.
Arknights Tutorial that had to be released in 2019-2021 lol
u have been waitig for this
I still use 243 since Arknights was release on SEA region until now. If I have more Golds... I switched to 3/3/3 to earn more LMDs.
This is the true end game
Chop Chop Base boi it's been 3 hour where's part 2?
The timer is always the time for the ops to keep working, if you want to know how much time it takes to fill a trading post you have to do the math with the max capacity number, que amount of slots it uses, the time it takes for a item to be made, and the reduction of time because of productivity, with ends up being (too much math to be bothered)
Just to simplify it, 24 morale will keep an operator working for up to 24 hours. (Note: I'm not including operator's base skill)
Each active operators that are in the Control Center will reduce -0.05 morale for all working operator in the base.
If 1/3 operators is in a trading post or factory station, they'll consume 1 morale per hour; 2/3 operators will consume 0.95 morale per hour; and 3/3 operator will consume 0.9 morale per hour.
So at best, an average operator would drain all 24/24 morale in almost 37 hours (or 36 hour and 55 minute). 24 / 0.65 = 36.92~
This concept is further covered in the next part ^
My base setup is 3-3-3 when my gold reserve are 1000+. I get around 55-60k with this setup with login twice per day swapping operator and collecting resource. When my golds are depleted, i swap to 2-4-3 while swapping 1 blue and Orange room with orundum shard. At this time i spend my sanity farming rocks, it last around 10 days then i switch back to 3-3-3. I dont farm xp because my f2p player resource wont let me build a lot of operator anyway. With thise setup i am comfortable playing arknight without hindering my daily activity.
It's here. Nice.
THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED LETZGOO
Do please give us the best operator combinations for productivity!!! Not to be spoon-fed (well, sorta) but would be very much appreciated
Nice, thanks. I really appreciate to know what I don't understand. I don't like seeing calculations.. I had headache sometimes so that's the last thing I want to see.
As for combos I usually used different skill icons each time. Like the ones with exps, exp icon + either productivity/special icon + capacity increase. Same with gold. Never thought about efficiency. And as for trading posts.. I just picked whoever people said good combos or the ones with unique icons like Jaye, Tuye, Snowsant, etc. I tried trio Texas Lappland Exia combo but they're always 1-2 gold each order. I prefer 3-4 gold more so I'm waiting for your next videos.
Control center is also random. I heard the r6 combo but I don't have them.
The GOAT, i would like a video about base combo too
I had my doubts about wether you'd be able to capture the complexity surrounding what people feels about base management. Then right at the first segment you're striking true at it, thats.... breathtaking. But then 5:26 this is gold
Random Bullshit GO gang right here☝
i'm kinda new to the game, i never notice those minimum details and the base management is not that intuitive
3 years in ak and i didnt know about the base report lmao (or i forgot it after a tutorial)
I need my Next Chapter!
16:35 The time remaining is for the operators morale to empty, not for the station to fill up.
It's actually a measure of both. The best way to look at it is "time until workers stop working" whether it be because of complete morale drain or because there is no more capacity to make more items with.
@@SuzakuBlitz
Yep, also would like to add, at the bare minimum, 24 morale would drain in 24 hours, having a command center with 5 operators will increase it to 32 hour and for the individual factories/trading post, having 2 or 3 operators working will increase it to ~32.28 and ~36.92 hours (this is excluding operators’ skills that can further increase or decrease their morale time).
For factory, the time remaining is actually for when the station fill up, up until they run out of of morale.
This is because the operator should be able to work for over 24 hours (excluding skill that increase morale uses), and that if you gather the resource, the time would increase up until the point their morale would hit 0.
Trading Post doesn’t do that and just shows the full morale time.
I'm more into "Ohh this is the same icon like the others, so i place them together". Idk if that efficient, but i go with that for know. The thing is i want to learn more. So here's my question sensei. The more Efficiency is more good right?? So i need to put the best one with highest number of Efficiency??
More Productivity and Efficiency is better - it means you are producing more and thus increasing the overall rewards. The caveat being if you don't allow your base to hit capacity because your workers are working fast fast fast fast fast then stop because they literally cannot make anymore - but this is only a problem with people who login once a day. If you do two logins like most typical Arknights players, this should not be a concern.
i have the same Texas poster!! nice!!
So if i only get 35-40 exp, 80 gold, and 40-45k of money a day, what am i doing wrong.
just sayng if you do twice a day i suggest you do it every 12 hour it s better because your stamina will never reach max
Time to flex your base tryhards!
Mine is 32k XP and 55k goldbars, since i'm using the drones to speed up trading post i get 62k lmd through trading post
You've been hard at work, rest well.
When Kukki says see you in the next video and there is no next video.
My trust, crushed.
I guess I have to rely on guides with audio that sound like they're in a washing machine now. Unfortunate. Surely.
He'll be splitting the videos up into three parts which are 20 minutes segments each. I am imaging the other two are being edited, so we should be seeing them soon. You can check the Community section of the channel to see he made a poll asking if viewers would prefer one very long single video or three 20-minute separate videos.
This was a joke. @@SuzakuBlitz
@@breakzw Noted, lol
Yeah but how about a 2-4-3 that i go to once a week ?
Still Randomly put operator
Yes pls daddy kukki, educate me about all the combos. I literally E2 Mr Nothing only because he looks good in his skin, but now you are telling me he is useful in the base!?!
Mr. Nothing ends up being a very strong operator with Provisio - the caveat being you need access to all the Sui Siblings (E2 Ling, rest can be E0) and Mulberry E2 to make him reach STRONK productivity. It's not worth E2ing those operators just for base slave purposes, but the total +efficiency on Mr. Nothing becomes 75% which is absolutely absurd for a single operator to have when the typical average is +30%
@@SuzakuBlitz oh wow, OK I need to be more educated on these combos, definitely Ling at E2 cos she is trust farm queen, I have all sui siblings except Nian and mulberry is staying at lv 1 because Eyja alter is broken
@@ExDarkx3 That would still be a +50% efficiency. Try it yourself :) Put Mr. Nothing in a Trading Post and fill your dormitories (doesn't matter if full morale as long as they exist) and put Ling, Dusk, and Chong in your Command Centre. Should get you that +50% value.
14:01 I still don't understand why the game just don't add . and : to make it less confusing.
Withcraft crystal is related to jieyun skill, which is eh as of currently.
(Half of these required limited operators so don't bother with worldy plight if you're new)
Kukkipedia is back!
I mistakenly e2ed jaye and now I can't use him anymore
Don’t worry, as long as you have Gnosis you can actually have a better rate when you use Jaye with SilverAsh and Cliffheart, and they are currently the second (or third) best combo for trading post.
Im lazy so 3 power 4 factory and 2 store
Same, and also max out dorm looks nicer to me
Same here, best set up for someone who has long shifts.
Yeah it's soo convenient like I only get twice a visit on it and I'm netting a good 50k-60k LMD
this is the best for me who will only log in once per day, even then i dont even rotate exp factory anymore, i can easily stack them so only store and gold factory (so only 4 parts) for lmd and only rotates 12 out of 20 dorm slot bcs of that too, and its on once per 2 days basis. technically i should rotate them on 1.5 day basis but thats a huge hassle. a 13th is rotated only when Masteries is going
The order of the numbers as used in the community is {trading posts, factories, power plants}. Most people run either 243 or 252. Other setups are possible, but are usually temporary or for specific needs.
Has anyone made a base operator planner? Like input your ops and their base skills and they make a rotation scehdule for youm
There're ones that run on rice and bread.
Damn i never knew the TP and F itself show how high the productivity is D:"
Nice to know something to maybe try some stuff out myself. But since u asked in the video personally i would like to see a video of Operator combos and why they are good.
I wanna ask what tablet is that?
Dictatorship vs Democracy moment
please do theBase TEAMS bro. especially the Worldly Plight VS Sensory info situation. Dusk and Ling tell me they work together but Whisperain and Mulberry (because theres only 1 HR spot) make me think they are separate
For Whisperain and Mulberry... From what i read you basically base them on how much morale is left with the Suis since they will affect either the trading post (Worldly Plight) or factory ( Memory Fragment/Perception Information...
Dusk and Ling works together since Ling's first base skill "Keep the Wine Flowing" remove self-affecting mood reduction effects, as in the self mood reduction per hour +0.5 on Dusk's second base skill "Unmoved by Loss" or Chongyue's first base skill "Knowing Yourself, to be Yourself"
The thing about Ling and Dusk is the way they generate Worldly Plight and Sensory Information are opposite:
Ling creates 15 Worldly Plight when "above" 12 morale and 10 Sensory Information when "below" 12 morale.
Dusk creates 15 Worldly Plight when "below" 12 morale and 10 Sensory Information when "above" 12 morale.
In short, they cancel each other out so that at least one of them will be creating 15 Worldly Plight while the other will be creating 10 Sensory Information.
As for the Whisperain and Mulberry situation, that's a different story.
Whisperain creates up to 20 Memory Fragments (since 2 of the 4 recruitment slot are initial slots) while Mulberry creates 20 Worldly Plight.
*_However,_* literally none of the Operators that I mentioned above (except Chongyue, but he was just as an example) uses Worldly Plight or Sensory Information. They only create them.
The only operators that uses Worldly Plight are Chongyue, Jieyun, Mr. Nothing, and Wind Chimes.
Meanwhile, the only operators that uses Sensory Information are Rosmontis and Ebenholz.
Therefore, if you don't use any operators that uses Worldly Plight or Sensory Information, then there's no reason to create Worldly Plight or Sensory Information.
4:33 what else is Arknights hiding from me? 😬
im running 2 trading posts 4 factories. 2 factories pumping exp 2 factories pumping out gold bars. my entire goal is to have steady income of exp and lmd. I have this setup since game release and i'm quite pleased with its performance. my issue with all this base shenanigan is operator skills and manually setting up workers. I think the game needs to have some kind of auto option to setup automatically good combo of workers in your base. Not gonna lie all this base management shit made me play the game less. I still log regularly but at some point of time i had days to weeks where i didnt log, because it felt tedious and game didnt have content at that time.
i wish there is auto resuffle base
im get bored resuffle them everyday ...
Kukki self report nian in cc
Ah, I wondered how to keep the power consumption low enough to have higher-level trading posts and factories; all your dormitories are like level 1.
I'll adjust that.
I don't think I have the correct operators for the more advanced production crews. I usually change out my operators every 24 hours or so but... I think I'll start looking at how long they can last and what their production efficiency bonus is now.
I mean I was looking at that before, but the more intricate parts eluded me.
Also, I've done 14 hours of law lectures today in preparation for my example your 20-minute video is nothing! BRING MORE ON!
Random Bullshit Go Gang 😂
Let's go 😁
wow.. this is Thesis-Level stuff hahah.. my base only produces 40k LMD / 36 EXP.. I wonder where were wrong
If you don't have the big TP combos (Tequila / Provisio), those numbers are actually pretty good IMO
the problem is, My login timing is random.
Mine is too
You can have a few hours of leniency depending on your rotation plans. As long as you relatively log in every 12h ish, you'll be fine
Personally, I manage my base so if I don't have a lot of time, it's okay for me to only check in on it once a day. Having the R6 squad is absolutely invaluable to having a 100% operator rotation if you usually leave your power plants empty like I do.
I'm super lazy, but I still manage to have a surplus of EXP and LMD at all times with zero farming.
No one in the power plants is basically lost opportunity for more production. They don't even need to have PP skills (though of course relevant skills would be better).
ngl I still don't understand how base morale actually drains, how tf could any base ops still stay alive even after I left the game for 2 months
I’ll not mention it in any of the future parts, but morale stops draining if production has hit maximum capacity
@@kukkikaze thanks
@@kukkikaze except the power plant. They still work even if drones are capped.
Hi kukki, I was wondering if you also have in plan to make a guide on the various command center synergies too? All I know is the brainless R6 team in there and that's it, and I kinda want to stray away from that finally
While there are other command center synergies, I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you are willing to spend even more time managing operator from the command center as well.
(And even more if they require other operator to use the resource the command center produce, For example: Using Ling or Dusk for Rosmontis in the Factory and Mr. Nothing in the Trading Post, or Alter Yato and Noir for the those 1* Cats)
I take back what I said, I just recently found a strong command center setup for players who want to make all operators morale last as long as possible with Młynar and 4 other operators providing default +0.05 morale recovery. The thing is that this doesn't work with R6 Operator.
Which this setup, you can add about ~20 hours to every operators in the Power Plant, Factory, Trading Post, HR Office, and Reception Room which lets a player have a longer frame to switch out Factory or Trading Post combos.
While you won't be able to have an R6 Command Center with 1 Operator buffing Factories or Trading Post, it should make the base more flexible.
oh no kukki is joining the base wars too
Kukki:" no more guides!"
Also Kukki: makes a base guide right after
Viewers: "well, that was a fucking lie"
lol
No more stage guides to be specific
@@kukkikaze fair enough. I didn't watch the "no more guides" video myself
To people that don't want to engage with the base gameplay: why are you even playing this game? Why do you spend your time on it when there are things you don't like? If you don't like it - just quit. I honestly don't understand this half-assed approach when you do engage with the content of the game, but just barely because you don't like it. Gacha games are designed to put you in a disadvantage to encourage you to spend money. So to have a good time with it, you have to play as optimally as you can, or spend money. Or don't bother at all
What? Why should people be engaged with base to enjoy or play Arknights? Arknights is mostly about tower defense not base simulator. I don't see any problem with people that doesn't want to bother with base because it's actually annoying. People can still enjoy playing Arknights maybe because it is a fun tower defense game with additional gameplay (IS, SSS) or because Arknights has good story and world building.
I don't see any logic reasons in 'people should quit Arknights because they don't want to engage with base'
You cannot spend money to do anything in the base, in fact you will just lose rl money for nothing. Base gives lmd and exp tickets, and these 2 resources, without base, is a crawl to farm, imagine spending 300 sanity just for a dust of lmd that cant even cover the cost of an operator to base minimum level to equip module from 0. Like it or not, people that hate the base mechanic as a whole still have to at least half-assed the base just for a functional and automated farm for the 2 most universally needed resources. Base is essential not just for how much automation they gives but also how much sanity, both versions of them, theyll save by existing. And also, you cant show them the door, that is not how any game works, in general. It is okay to hate or have a or multiple issues with a or some part of the game and love the other parts, that shows that youre a real fan of the game instead of being blinded and calling a game perfect in every way when it clearly is an issue
Good teacher
Hands up if you're Random Bullshit GO! 😅🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Eh?! Ok then
Your leg shaking during the aerial shots is really distracting lol
It's been a year 😂
243 or gae.
Frankly, between the 8:20 and 14:55 marks (before and after which is very good), this feels like the most barebones guide... Like, yes, as you mentioned I can see the total productivity by trying stuff out, but it's much faster to just math it out... it's addition guys... Furthermore, you go through that scenario of "Oh I don't know how Dorothy skill works, let's try it out". Is the implication to combine Dorothy with every other operator to see if the production happens to go higher than expected while still not understanding why it works? I don't think this is teaching anything other than reading comprehension... Maybe if some combos are weak then sure, maybe it's worse than just putting in three 25% productivity boost operators, but most of the time if it specifically calls out other ops, the combo isn't weak.
It's not like you don't still need to read the skills. The second part of the video is really just "Oh if you aren't sure what this skill does, did you know you can test it out? If you don't want to do Math, did you know you can just do trial and error and check the results?"
I also think that there could've been some mention that newer players are likely to have a lower amount of LMD and EXP gained, especially if they haven't finished their base and/or have many operators that boost productivity.
