In addition to being an action role-playing game, Arknights: Endfield has a significant base-building and management aspect to its gameplay. One of the earliest hurdles you will encounter to your expansion will be base power management where your requirements begin to exceed the initial cap of 200 units.
This guide for Arknights: Enfield details how you can raise the power cap of your base above and beyond its starting limit.
Thermal Bank
First you will need to unlock and research the ‘Power I’ technology from the tech tree. This is located in its second tier or Basic AIC II under the Power column. The technology unlocks the Thermal Bank for construction which is powered by either Originium Ore or Batteries. They will have to be connected to the power grid in order to function correctly. Crafting requirements are 10x Amethyst Parts and 10x Origocrust.

Originium Ore
By this point you will have plenty of Originium Ore at your disposal. Once placed in a Thermal Bank, each ore will provide you with 50 power for a duration of 8 seconds. This is the more straightforward option for increasing power output, but is somewhat lacking in the amount of power supplied.
LC Valley Battery
LC Valley Batteries will require additional research, construction, and processing in order to set up a reliable supply chain for your Thermal Banks, but will provide you with a huge 220 additional power each, for a duration of 40 seconds. Production of LC Valley Batteries requires the unlock and research of the ‘Packaging Tech’ technology from the tech tree. This is located in its second tier or Basic AIC II under the Processing column. The technology unlocks the Packaging Unit for construction which can auto-produce formulas including the LC Valley Battery.
The LC Valley Battery itself requires 5x Amethyst Parts and 10x Originium Powder for production, and which are respectively processed from Amethyst Fibers by a Fitting Unit, and Originium Ore by a Shredding Unit.
SC Valley Battery
SC Valley Batteries are an improvement upon LC Valley Batteries and will provide you with a massive 420 additional power each, but for the same duration of 40 seconds.
The SC Valley Battery itself requires 10x Ferrium Parts and 15x Originium Powder for production, and which are respectively processed from Ferrium by a Fitting Unit, and Originium Ore by a Shredding Unit.
HC Valley Battery
HC Valley Batteries are an improvement upon SC Valley Batteries and will provide you with an astounding 1100 additional power each, but for the same duration of 40 seconds.
The HC Valley Battery itself requires 10x Steel Parts and 15x Dense Originium Powder for production, and which are respectively processed from Steel by a Fitting Unit and Originium Powder with Sandleaf Powder by a Grinding Unit.
LC Wuling Battery
LC Wuling Batteries are an improvement upon HC Valley Batteries and will provide you with a staggering 1600 additional power each, but for the same duration of 40 seconds.
The LC Wuling Battery itself requires 5x Xiranite and 15x Dense Originium Powder for production, and which are respectively processed from Stabilized Carbon with Clean Water by a Forge of the Sky, and Originium Powder with Sandleaf Powder by a Grinding Unit.
That is everything there is to know about exceeding the power limit of 200 in your base in Arknights: Endfield.
