Earendel Builds Out a Farm Base in Arknights: Endfield, Joking She Is Wrecking Nature

SQUARELIVE — Earendel spent her Sunday stream on Arknights: Endfield, the sci-fi strategy game from the Arknights series, and the stretch that drew the most chatter was base building: setting up power and water for a field of farm plots, with a running commentary on how ugly it all looked.

Placing a power pylon, she worried aloud that she was wrecking the natural environment. When chat asked whether she had an environmental assessment, she answered that she was sorry but had none. Viewers called out fixes as she went. One said the pylon needed to be swapped for a different model, another pointed out the blue area was its power range, and others said the pieces connect on their own. She picked up the wrong piece, took it back, and eventually got power through, at which point chat noted the status had turned green. When the first pipe layout looked too tall, she asked to run it underground, and she said she was close to breaking down at how ugly the layout was. Once the water was flowing through the plots, she called it rather cute.

“I’m destroying the natural environment. What do I do?” — Earendel, while placing a power pylon

Earlier in the evening, chat lit up over a run of pulls on a character banner. She and the other voices on the stream joked about losing the 50-50 twice in a row, and the third pull finally landed, which was greeted with laughing and crying emoji. She said she would head out to dig for stones on the map afterward. Viewers joked that Endfield players only go into a banner ready to spend 120 pulls.

Near the end of the evening she turned to the story quest line of Minghe (明河), the character the stream title promised, and asked chat which quest marker was the main one. She and chat also teased a pair of characters in the story as an obviously ambiguous couple, and she said the story is where the relationship line starts. Two Super Chats arrived during the stream.

She stopped at a story scene, saying more followed, including an aftermath of the main character recovering from injuries, and encouraged viewers to download the game, which she said is available on phones, tablets, Steam and PC. She signed off, wishing viewers pulls that would not go off-banner, and said she was tired and heading to rest.
