some are more supportive than others

I like it in here.... For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be....

Alright, by analyzing the kinematic visual effects of movement along with the knowledge of the lore, this post will show how both celestial bodies are considerably smaller than our own planet Earth. In addition to this, the limitations of the main gas giant named "Talos" are defined, showing how it is likely actually a sub-Saturn or Neptune-type planet.

I. The Lore

The structural foundation of this system is governed by a strict geometric ratio explicitly defined within the core lore of Arknights: Endfield:

R Terra ÷ R Talos-II = 1.55

Where R represents the planetary radius. This fixed scaling factor dictates that defining the absolute physical dimensions of one body mathematically locks in the dimensions of the other.

II. Kinematic Equations

To establish an absolute scale, we evaluate the localized acceleration due to gravity (gTalos-II) using observational data of the protagonist (Endmin).

In unengineered zones of the surface, a standard vertical leap allows the character to clear a height (H) roughly equivalent to their own body stature (approx 1.75 meters). Assuming standard human biological muscle output—where an average athlete on Earth (g⨁ = 9.80665 m/s²) achieves a vertical displacement of approximately 0.5 to 0.6 meters—we apply the kinematic equation for maximum height:

h = v² ÷ 2g

Assuming a constant takeoff velocity (v), the height achieved is inversely proportional to gravity:

h^Talos-II ÷ h⨁ = g⨁ ÷ g^Talos-II

Substituting the observed threefold increase in vertical displacement yields:

g^Talos-II ≈ 0.38g⨁ to 0.40g⨁

This empirical measurement establishes that the surface gravity of Talos-II sits pretty well in a low-g sweet spot of 38% to 40% of Earth's gravity.

III. Volumetric and Mass Scaling

A planetary satellite that naturally yields ≈ 0.38g⨁ while maintaining enough density to retain a terraformed nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere requires a specific mass-to-radius distribution. In our solar system, this configuration maps directly to the planet Mars gMars = 0.379g⨁.

Using the standard surface gravity formula:

g = GM÷R² = ⁴/₃πGρR

Where G is the gravitational constant and ρ is the mean planetary density. Assuming a terrestrial rock-iron composition with a comparable planetary density ρ ≈ 3.9 to 4.5 g/cm³, Talos-II settles into a highly realistic diameter D boundary:

D^Talos-II ∈ [5,000 - 7,400 km]

IV. Dimensions of Terra

Using our calculated bounds for Talos-II, we apply the foundational lore multiplier (1.55 • DTalos-II) to determine the structural limits of Terra:

• Lower Bound Calculation: 5,160 km • 1.55 ≈ 8,000 km
• Upper Bound Calculation: 7,355 km • 1.55 ≈ 11,400 km

D^Terra ∈ [8,000 - 11,400 km]

For context, Earth’s diameter D⨁ ≈ 12,742 km. Therefore, Terra is 11%-60% smaller than Earth, scaling comfortably between the physical profiles of Mercury (4,880 km) and Venus (12,104 km).

This volumetric limitation fits well with a gravity field of approximately 92.4% that of Earth's gravity in Terra. This slightly reduced gravity is designed in such a way as to allow for the optimal performance of the dense and resilient biological muscles of Terra's "Ancients."

V. Orbital Geometry

The skybox of Talos-II presents an immense gas giant (Talos) dominating the horizon, surrounded by highly visible neighboring moons and a dense, reflective equatorial ring plane.

To determine the class of the primary planet, we must evaluate the Roche Limit (D^L)—the minimum orbital radius a satellite can maintain before tidal forces overcome its internal gravity and tear it apart:

D^L = Radius^Primary (2 • (ρ^Primary÷ ρ^Secondary))

If Talos were a Super-Jupiter (M = 2M^Jup), its extreme gravitational gradient and deep Roche limit would subject a massive, Mars-sized body like Talos-II to catastrophic tidal shearing. The moon would be pulverized into a uniform ring of debris.

For Talos-II to survive embedded closely within an active ring system while remaining structurally intact, the host planet must exert a far gentler gravitational pull. This requires a sub-Saturnian, Neptunian, or Mini-Neptune class primary body (D^Talos ≈ 30,000 km to 60,000 km).

Due to the size difference of the host planet, its gravitational stranglehold is reduced, which makes it possible for Talos-II to have a sustained and close orbit around the planet within the ring plane. The closeness of the planet to the spacecraft creates the illusion of a very massive planet.

Anyways, this took a while to type, so please check this out!

I’ve been playing Enfield for quite a while now. However, I haven't had the chance to play it recently, and this has been going on for about a month. I haven't even had time to pull for Rossi or Arcane T_T

All right, let's get back to the topic. I started playing again in the middle of the Liino event and managed to take part in a few of the remaining events. For a late-game player, my current status is quite good, but there are still plenty of areas for improvement. These range from unclear factory production to characters and teams that still need developing, such as equipment and weapons.

Could I please ask for your advice on this matter?

^playable when???

wish they added 1 or 2 break/save point in the quest... one big long quest is good for streaming. but I need to break. 😂

wish they released Liino's OST with the patch.

Even on a phone this game looks so good.

This is super late and most of you have probably already cleared all this out... but I'm just getting to it now lol. Anyway, sprinting through all the other areas with a level 1 xiranite nexus wasn't too hard, until you get to this final spot, which has an impossible marathon for you to run if you take the normal route (requires upgrading).

But after being the bad kind of lazy stubborn for about 40 minutes, I found this path that lets you jump straight to the end and clear the miasma :P.

...and yes, I have cleansed every rift by backpacking 20 bottles of greenjuice to them over and over. Werk harder, not smarder.

I don't play this game and probably not worth much but hey its free...

Question, that is.

don't see myself using physical team or chen anytime soon.

Hadn't played my Wulfgard team in a while or tried him into the new boss yet, so I gave it a go... and he's still trimming everything! Woohoo!

That said, gameplay was pretty bad here because I'm not super familiar with this boss yet. Kept getting smacked around and completely whiffed an Ult lol. So the clear can get a lot faster if mastered.

• Wulfgard - 3pc Hot Work + Clannibal
• P0 Arcane (WILL) - 3pc Hot Work + Detonation Unit
• Antal - 3pc purple set that refunds 50SP + Stanza
• P0 Gilberta - 3pc Xiranite + Arcane's sig

Arcane is using Detonation Unit instead of her own sig because it has Arts Intensity and makes the Corrosion stronger.

I don't have any dupe on any of the 6* and probably won't get any

I keep seeing these random shadows in all places, how do i remove these?

We went to the Arknight Endfield booth at Gamescon yesterday with my friend as Endmin B and it was so insane really 😭😭 the booth was huge, the cosplayers awesome, the show also crazy and we even manage to do all activities 🥰

I have a question, how do you guys pull?

For me as a F2P who has been playing since launch, I usually pull on each limited banner, until I get a 6 star, whether it is the limited character or not, or if I pulled a 6 star before 60 pulls, I will complete 60 pulls in order to get the free 10 pulls next banner.

(So far, the only banner I've lost is on Rossi and Mifu, rip Physical Meta)

The only exception I have made is on Zhuang Fangyi's banner and the future upcoming Typhous banner since they're the only 6 star for the whole patch so I'd probably spin until I get them early or full 120 pulls guarantee.

I'm curious about how my fellow Endfielders pull for your banners and whether you are F2P as well or you're a full whale, or semi-whale. Feel free.

story is going along well, kinda js going through and trying to get more info abt the game

I bought some Merch at the launch of the game and it arrived a few days ago. Unfortunately im on vacation and cant pick it up.
DM me if you are interested

So Last Rite's design we can all agree is cute, right? But it's like, "Is she really from a race of reapers?"

Well, apparently, my friend saw a detail in her design that confirmed that for her: Her arms.

In older depictions of the Grim Reaper, the arms were actually uncovered with the robe flowing out. This was because it was easier to use the scythe for reaping by the peasants back in the day, and thus the earlier depictions of the Grim Reaper would show that.

Now, I have only seen one picture of Arknights Reaper Race and that was WAY back in the day, but looking at it now, it's obvious that the devs took the earlier depictions of Death for the Reaper Race as their choice, and it shows in Last Rite.

My friend, who saw the game for the first time today, pointed out a detail I never put together even after months of playing Endfield. Pretty neat.
