The Ferrium Mining Rig will be one of your most vital resource stations in Arknights Endfield (given the importance of the ore), and it takes a fair bit of effort to unlock.
Interestingly, there’s no update node that unlocks ‘Ferrium Mining Rig’. Instead, you’ll have to unlock the Electric Mining Drill Rig MK II, which allows you to mine Ferrium automatically. Let’s look at how you can build your Electric Mining Drill Rig MK II in Arknights Endfield.

How to unlock Electric Mining Drill Rig MK II in Arknights Endfield
The first task is to make a fair amount of progress along the main storyline. The quest you need to complete is Mystery in the Building, which rewards you with a Basic Expansion Core. This reward opens your gate for obtaining the Ferrium Ore.
The next task is to unlock Basic AIC III from the upgrades tree, which will require the Basic Expansion Core. You’ll also have to complete the Mining III upgrade, which allows you to access the Electric Mining Righ MK II template. This will allow us to create the automated mine system for Ferrium Ore.

Once you unlock the template for the Electric Mining Drill Rig MK II, go to a spot on the map where you can find Ferrium. We will be placing the rig directly on top of the deposit to start our mining process. To craft the rig, you’ll need the following materials.
- 1x Portable Originium Rig
- 10x Ferrium Parts
Naturally, reaching this point will take a certain amount of time. Once unlocked, you’ll be able to setup automated Ferrium Ore mining setups that will be immensely helpful.
