Arknights Endfield Mineral Bed Locations (March 2026) Expert Guide

Arknights Endfield Mineral Bed Locations

Mineral Beds are the backbone of your factory in Arknights: Endfield. They’re where you get Originium, Amethyst, and Ferrium ores – the three core industrial ores that feed your AIC production lines. If you know where every Mineral Bed is, how many nodes each has, and how to efficiently power and connect them, you can keep your factory running almost on autopilot while you focus on exploration and combat.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through every Originium, Amethyst, and Ferrium Mineral Bed we know about in the release version, show you which beds are richest, and explain the safest and fastest ways to unlock and power them. I’ll also share the routing strategies I use, and how I slot Mineral Beds into a bigger base-building plan that works even if you’re new to factory-style games.

Note: The in-game FAQ in another Mineral Bed guide mentions that there are 58 Originium, 12 Amethyst, and 60 Ferrium Mineral Beds in total in Endfield, but it only lists a subset of them (the ones highlighted in this table). Those totals suggest more Mineral Beds exist beyond the mapped examples and that future updates or new regions may add more. The beds below are the key, accessible locations you can reliably target right now.

If you’re still planning when to start playing, check our Arknights Endfield release date overview so you can sync your early game with the best times to dive into the factory.

What Mineral Beds are and why they matter?

Mineral Beds are fixed ore deposits in the world that you tap into with mining rigs (like the Electric Mining Rig). Once powered and connected, rigs automatically pull ore from the bed into your logistics network and storage. Unlike one-time loot or random pickups, Mineral Beds are permanent “patches” of industrial ore:

  • Originium Ore: Your first industrial ore; used heavily in basic construction and power infrastructure.
  • Amethyst Ore: Needed for early–mid gear, some AIC products and expansion materials.
  • Ferrium Ore: Advanced mineral that becomes critical for high‑level outposts and top‑tier gear.

Mineral Beds are different from:

  • Rare Growths (mushrooms/plants used for Operator leveling) – they’re not factory-processed and don’t come from beds.
  • Rare Ores (tuning stones for weapon tuning) – they’re manual field pickups, not bed-mined ores.

If you love factory automation and planning, Endfield’s Mineral Beds will feel very familiar. It’s similar to how big base-building games (like Factorio or Satisfactory) let you lock onto resource patches and build your whole economy around them. If that’s your jam, our best base-building strategy games guide shows how Endfield fits into that broader genreofzenandcomputing .

Mining rigs and AIC basics (short primer)

Before diving into each Mineral Bed, here’s the very short version of how the factory side works:

  • Mining Rigs:
    • Facilities like Electric Mining Rig are placed on Originium/Amethyst mining spots and automatically pull ore into storage when powered.
    • They don’t need belts: they can transfer directly to the depot if within the power network.
  • Power:
    • Almost every rig needs power from an Electric Pylon or similar structure tied to your grid.
    • Planning your pylons and substations around Mineral Beds is as important as the beds themselves.
  • Production flow:
    • Ore → Refining Unit → intermediate parts → final products (gear, defense towers, etc.).
    • Raw Originium/Amethyst/Ferrium are not used directly in manual crafting, but derivatives (like bottles) are used for items such as EMS F&M and Fine F&M.

If you’re new to this, don’t worry. The game’s early quests push you into simple Originium flows. From there, it’s just “plug more beds into the same idea.”

Originium Mineral Beds – locations and details

Originium is the mineral you’ll use the most in the early game. It’s cheap, ubiquitous, and essential to almost every AIC line. The Originium beds listed here are spread across The Hub and surrounding Valley IV areas, plus Wuling.

Valley IV – The Hub Originium Beds

The Hub is where your factory story begins. Several Originium beds here are very accessible and great “first investments.”

  • Originium Bed 1 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Very first Originium bed the game introduces.
    • 2 mining nodes – small but good for learning how to place your first mining rig.
    • Best use: hook this into your very first Originium line to power basic construction and research.
  • Originium Bed 2 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Near the Core AIC area.
    • 5 mining nodes – a solid early workhorse.
    • Recommended: Once you unlock Electric Mining Rig, upgrade this to a permanent “main” Originium source for your Hub factory.
  • Originium Bed 3 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Also near Core AIC, with 5 mining nodes.
    • Because of its proximity, I like to treat Bed 2 and Bed 3 together: one rig on each, both feeding into a shared refining chain.
  • Originium Bed 4 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Slightly trickier: west of the bed is a laser gate powered by a mechanism guarded by a strong Bonekrusher.
    • Unlock requirements:
      • You need portable industrial explosives.
      • Break the gate mechanism to reach the elevated plateau where the bed sits.
    • 5 mining nodes – high payoff once you’re able to clear the gate.
    • Strategy: don’t rush this early. Wait until you can reliably fight Bonekrushers and craft explosives, then come back for a big Originium boost.

Valley IV – Valley Pass Originium Bed

  • Originium Bed 5 – Valley IV, Valley Pass
    • Only Originium bed in Valley Pass.
    • 5 mining nodes – a compact and efficient spot.
    • Use-case: good candidate for a “regional hub” Originium source if you decide to build a smaller factory branch in Valley Pass instead of running belts all the way from The Hub.

Valley IV – Originium Science Park Originium Beds

Originium Science Park is more about advanced materials, but it still has a couple of Originium beds that are handy when you expand your power network that far.

  • Originium Bed 6 – Valley IV, Originium Science Park
    • Right next to the Infra-Station Sub-PAC.
    • 2 mining nodes – very easy to access.
    • I use this bed mostly to bootstrap a small Originium flow in Science Park, so I can feed early local production without long logistics chains.
  • Originium Bed 7 – Valley IV, Originium Science Park
    • Access tied to Kohl Plant side-quest progression.
    • You’ll want portable explosives – 20+ is a good safety buffer.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Tip: keep some explosives on your quickbar whenever you explore Science Park; you’ll run into multiple blockages and quests that need them.

Valley IV – Originium Lodespring Originium Bed

  • Originium Bed 8 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • Easily accessible bed in Lodespring.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • This is a great “first Lodespring” Originium anchor when you extend your power grid into the region.

Wuling – Jingyu Valley Originium Beds

Jingyu Valley is a Wuling sub-region with multiple Originium nodes and one of the denser clusters of Mineral Beds.

  • Originium Bed 9 – Wuling, Jingyu Valley
    • Near Jingyu Valley Sub-PAC.
    • 2 mining nodes.
  • Originium Bed 10 – Wuling, Jingyu Valley
    • Another bed near the Sub-PAC, this time with 5 mining nodes.
    • Combined 9 and 10: 7 nodes very close to the teleport point – excellent early Wuling Originium hub.
  • Originium Bed 11 – Wuling, Jingyu Valley
    • Also near the Sub-PAC, 2 mining nodes.
  • Originium Bed 12 – Wuling, Jingyu Valley
    • Slightly deeper in the area – you run into it coming up from a cave system in Jingyu Valley.
    • 5 mining nodes.
    • Route idea: loop through the cave and up to this bed while you’re also grabbing chests and other collectibles.

Wuling – Wuling City Originium Beds

Wuling City clusters several Originium beds, including one hidden behind a secret wall.

  • Originium Bed 13 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • In the Wuling City Maintenance Zone, slightly to its south.
    • 2 mining nodes.
  • Originium Bed 14 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • The second Maintenance Zone bed.
    • 5 mining nodes.
  • Originium Bed 15 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • Northwest of the Maintenance Zone.
    • 2 mining nodes, surrounded by Bonekrushers.
    • Tip: clear the area first (preferably with combat towers or high-damage Operators), then bring in your mining setup safely.
  • Originium Bed 16 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • Closest to the Core AIC Area, a little to the east.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Great as a “main city” Originium source that feeds into Wuling’s central AIC network.
  • Originium Bed 17 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • Hidden behind an invisible wall that’s easy to break with a hit.
    • 5 mining nodes – the richest Originium bed in Wuling City.
    • Recommendation: when you first build your Wuling City factory, treat this as your primary Originium patch once you’ve unlocked access.

Amethyst Mineral Beds – locations and details

Amethyst is the middle-tier industrial ore: not as common as Originium, but you’ll quickly feel the pinch if you ignore it. There are only a few key Amethyst beds in early maps, but they’re enough if you tap all of them.

Valley IV – The Hub Amethyst Bed

  • Amethyst Bed 1 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Found right next to the Core AIC Area.
    • 6 mining nodes – exceptionally rich for an Amethyst bed.
    • This is likely your first and biggest Amethyst source. I recommend:
      • Prioritize powering this bed early.
      • Build a dedicated refining and storage cluster for Amethyst products near the Core AIC.

Valley IV – Valley Pass Amethyst Bed

  • Amethyst Bed 2 – Valley IV, Valley Pass
    • Located on a high plateau that you can’t walk up directly.
    • Access: you must bring power to an unpowered launch pad in the Bonekrusher base in the Valley transfer area.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Strategy:
      • Clear the Bonekrusher base.
      • Power the launch pad → ride up.
      • This bed is great for a remote Amethyst line feeding Valley Pass-specific production (e.g., local outpost supplies).

Valley IV – Aburrey Quarry Amethyst Beds

Aburrey Quarry hosts two Amethyst beds, both relatively easy to integrate once you’ve repaired basic infrastructure in the area.

  • Amethyst Bed 3 – Valley IV, Aburrey Quarry
    • First Amethyst bed in the Quarry.
    • Fairly easy to connect to power once power reaches the Quarry.
    • 2 mining nodes.
  • Amethyst Bed 4 – Valley IV, Aburrey Quarry
    • Second Quarry bed.
    • Easy to power once you’ve opened the rope connection back to the starting teleport point.
    • Requires Quarry Repair Logic to access the entire section where this bed sits.
    • 2 mining nodes.

Amethyst routing tip

Because there are so few Amethyst beds, I like to:

  • Fully unlock Bed 1, then Bed 3 and 4.
  • Use Bed 1 for global AIC Amethyst needs (bottles, components).
  • Use Bed 2 and the Quarry beds more locally to feed outposts and region-specific production.

Ferrium Mineral Beds – locations and details

Ferrium is the advanced industrial ore you unlock later, and it’s crucial for high-level outposts, advanced gear, and endgame production. Ferrium beds tend to be gated behind story progress or puzzles, but several of them are very rich in nodes.

Valley IV – The Hub Ferrium Bed

  • Ferrium Bed 1 – Valley IV, The Hub
    • Locked until you complete the Hub portion of the main quest.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Use-case: early Ferrium seed. It’s not big, but it’s enough to start experimenting with Ferrium recipes in your Hub factory.

Valley IV – Originium Science Park Ferrium Beds

Originium Science Park is one of your first big Ferrium hubs. Multiple beds here are clustered around the canyon and Sub-PAC.

  • Ferrium Bed 2 – Valley IV, Originium Science Park
    • First Ferrium bed you’ll see along Route 5, but not the first one you can realistically tap.
    • 2 mining nodes.
  • Ferrium Bed 3 – Valley IV, Originium Science Park
    • The “initial” Ferrium bed you actually connect to your factory.
    • Super rich 6-node bed right across the canyon next to the Originium Science Park Sub-PAC.
    • This is your anchor Science Park Ferrium source – I’d recommend building a dedicated logistics backbone for it.
  • Ferrium Bed 4 – Valley IV, Originium Science Park
    • Found down the Cliffside Trail in the same area.
    • 5 mining nodes, rich, but access is blocked by Aether corruption.
    • Requirement: carry industrial explosives in your quickbar to clear the corruption.
    • Strategy: do a single “cleanup run” in Science Park with 10–20 explosives and unlock several blocked routes at once, including this bed.

Valley IV – Originium Lodespring Ferrium Beds

Lodespring is dense with Ferrium; it’s one of the best areas to set up a mid–late game Ferrium mega-base.

  • Ferrium Bed 5 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • Hidden passage behind a building that leads past the mesh fence that blocks the front.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Accessible early as long as you find the passage – no explosives required.
  • Ferrium Bed 6 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • Easily accessed from street level of the Temporary Stockpile.
    • 2 mining nodes.
    • Great for integrating Ferrium into early Lodespring logistics.
  • Ferrium Bed 7 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • Not obvious at first glance.
    • Look for an Aurylene in the corner nearby; the collapsing floor near her drops you into an underground cave.
    • Inside the cave, there’s a 5-node Ferrium bed.
    • Tip: whenever you see an Aurylene hanging out near suspicious terrain, assume there’s a hidden puzzle or path.
  • Ferrium Bed 8 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • 2-node bed; ready to access but requires a longer power connection.
    • Plan your pylons carefully so you don’t end up stringing power across half the map.
  • Ferrium Bed 9 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • 2-node bed; requires portable explosives to reach.
    • Good candidate to bundle with other Lodespring explosive routes (e.g., Rare Growth runs and Aether clusters).
  • Ferrium Bed 10 – Valley IV, Originium Lodespring
    • Super rich 5-node Ferrium bed behind a patch of Aether corruption.
    • Definitely worth explosives; I try to unlock this together with Bed 9 in one big sweep.

Valley IV – Power Plateau Ferrium Beds

Power Plateau hosts several Ferrium beds, some locked behind quests or positioned in tricky spots that benefit from vertical access.

  • Ferrium Bed 11 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • Large Ferrium bed with 5 nodes.
    • Locked behind Wulfgard’s personal quest – the overhead corridors in Bridge Approach Camp are closed before that.
    • Once open, this is a premier Ferrium source.
  • Ferrium Bed 12 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • 2-node bed; easily available from the main area when you drop down onto it from a ledge.
    • Quick and easy pick-up once you unlock the Plateau proper.
  • Ferrium Bed 13 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • Found in plain sight on the Plateau Trunkway.
    • 2 mining nodes.
  • Ferrium Bed 14 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • Another 2-node bed a bit further west along the Trunkway.
    • Simple to integrate into a long “trunk line” that runs along the main path.
  • Ferrium Bed 15 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • Rich 5-node Ferrium bed.
    • Best connected by dropping in from above to save time and effort.
    • Plan your pathing to grab it while doing other vertical routes (e.g., chest runs).
  • Ferrium Bed 16 – Valley IV, Power Plateau
    • Also benefits from power connections from above.
    • 5 mining nodes.
    • I like to power Beds 15 and 16 from the same elevated trunk line so I only have to run one “spine” with pylons.

Wuling – Wuling City Ferrium Bed

  • Ferrium Bed 17 – Wuling, Wuling City
    • The only currently available Ferrium bed in Wuling, hidden away in scenic Bugui Grove just north of Wuling Core AIC Area.
    • 6 mining nodes – very rich.
    • This is your primary Wuling Ferrium source for now. Since it’s so close to the Core AIC, it’s straightforward to plug into your city factory.

Late-game ore note: Cuprium Mineral Beds

Beyond Originium/Amethyst/Ferrium, there is at least one more mineral ore you’ll encounter later:

  • Cuprium Ore:
    • Endfield Builds lists one Mineral Bed in Wuling Outskirts that can be mined with a Hydro Mining Rig.
    • This is clearly a late-game water-based mining setup and outside the scope of the main Mineral Beds covered by most release guides, but it’s good to know the system continues expanding beyond the three core ores.

As new regions (like more of Jinlong/Wuling Outskirts) come online, expect more Cuprium and possibly other ore-type Mineral Beds to appear.

Mining route and power layout strategies

Just knowing where the beds are is good; turning them into a smooth-running factory is better. Here’s how I like to route Mineral Beds by region and progression stage.

Early-game routing (Hub → Valley Pass → Science Park)

  • Stage 1: The Hub Core
    • Originium:
      • Start with Originium Bed 1 as a tutorial.
      • Quickly expand to Originium Beds 2 and 3 near Core AIC – 10 nodes total in a small area.
    • Amethyst:
      • Unlock Amethyst Bed 1 next to Core AIC as soon as possible (6 nodes).
    • Layout:
      • Put a small Refining Unit cluster near Bed 2.
      • Run a short belt/bus system to storage and basic assembly lines.
  • Stage 2: Valley Pass and Originium Science Park
    • Originium Bed 5 in Valley Pass is perfect as a regional source (5 nodes).
    • Originium Beds 6 and 7 in Originium Science Park are low-node (2 each) but strategically placed near Sub-PAC and the Kohl Plant quest.
    • Amethyst Bed 2 in Valley Pass requires a quest, but then gives a secure 2-node plateau bed.

Mid-game routing (Lodespring + first Wuling trips)

  • Lodespring:
    • Treat Originium Bed 8 as the “gateway” into Lodespring factory expansion.
    • Focus on:
      • Ferrium Beds 6–10 for mid–late game Ferrium supply.
      • Aurylene-related secret routes (like Bed 7) that also reward exploration.
  • Jingyu Valley (Wuling):
    • Originium Beds 9–12 form a dense 7+5-node cluster near the Sub-PAC and caves.
    • Use this as your main Wuling Originium hub before Wuling City factory is fully built.

Late-game routing (Wuling City + Power Plateau)

  • Wuling City:
    • Originium Beds 13–17 give you a powerful spread around the city and Maintenance Zone.
    • Ferrium Bed 17 in Bugui Grove is your main Wuling Ferrium anchor (6 nodes).
  • Power Plateau:
    • Treat Ferrium Beds 11–16 as a “Ferrium district” with multiple 5-node beds.
    • Overhead corridors and vertical access become key; plan your base to use ziplines and drop-down routes.

Power and logistics best practices around Mineral Beds

Based on how the AIC and mining rigs work, plus how base-building games typically behave, here are some pro strategies I use:

  • Prioritize “rich” beds:
    • In each region, look for beds with 5–6 nodes and make those your primary sources first.
    • Example: Originium Bed 2 & 3 in The Hub, Amethyst Bed 1 in The Hub, Ferrium Bed 3 and 7–10 in Lodespring.
  • Bundle explosive-based unlocks:
    • Many Amethyst and Ferrium beds require explosives (Valley Pass Amethyst, some Science Park and Lodespring Ferrium).
    • Carry a stack of 20–30 explosives whenever you’re heading into Originium Science Park or Lodespring; this lets you chain multiple unlocks in one trip.
  • Pre-build power spines:
    • Don’t just run power to one bed and stop. Run a main trunk line (pylons) through areas with multiple beds so you can plug new rigs in quickly.
    • Use Power Plateau as a model: elevated spines let you power multiple beds from above and drop in.
  • Separate ore logistics by type:
    • Originium → near early construction & basic parts.
    • Amethyst → near mid-tier gear lines and advanced AIC products.
    • Ferrium → near high-tier outpost supplies and advanced gear.
  • Use the official map tools:
    • SKPORT’s Endfield map lets you filter resources, structures, and facilities, and it’s updated along with the game.
    • I use it as a second check when I’m not 100% sure I’ve found all beds in an area or when I want to align my ziplines with resource clusters.

Common mistakes to avoid with Mineral Beds

From my own factory experience and community behavior, here are the mistakes I see most often:

  • Ignoring Amethyst until you hit a gear wall:
    • Because Originium feels abundant, it’s easy to under-prioritize Amethyst.
    • Then you suddenly need Amethyst components for gear upgrades and outposts and realize your Amethyst beds are barely powered.
    • Fix: unlock and fully power Amethyst Bed 1 and the Quarry beds as soon as you can.
  • Overbuilding before unlocking rich Ferrium beds:
    • It’s tempting to start mass-producing Ferrium items as soon as you see your first 2-node Ferrium bed.
    • But your real Ferrium throughput explodes when you unlock the 5–6-node beds in Lodespring and Power Plateau.
    • Fix: keep early Ferrium usage modest until you’ve reached at least Lodespring’s rich beds.
  • Forgetting portable explosives:
    • Several Amethyst and Ferrium beds are locked behind Aether corruption or laser gates.
    • I’ve personally made trips out to Lodespring, realized I left my explosives in storage, and had to warp back.
    • Fix: always keep a small stack of explosives in your quickbar once you’ve unlocked them.
  • Treating Mineral Beds like infinite:
    • Mining nodes give steady ore, but they are fixed and finite in count.
    • As your factory grows, demand can outpace a small bed’s output.
    • Fix: always think in terms of “total nodes per region” and route ore from rich beds to where it’s needed most.

FAQ’s

How many Originium Mineral Beds are in Arknights Endfield?

According to the in-game FAQ from one Mineral Bed guide, there are 58 Originium Mineral Beds in total in Endfield. The 17 beds I’ve detailed above are a subset of those, focused on the most accessible and important ones in current regions. Expect more to be documented as maps are fully explored.

How many Amethyst Mineral Beds are in Arknights Endfield?

The same FAQ lists 12 Amethyst Mineral Beds in total. The four key beds I’ve highlighted are central ones that players reliably access in Valley IV; others may be tied to later Wuling or future regions.

How many Ferrium Mineral Beds are in Arknights Endfield?

There are 60 Ferrium Mineral Beds in total according to the FAQ. The 17 I’ve listed are among the first major ones players encounter in Valley IV and Wuling. As the game expands, you’ll likely see more Ferrium beds documented, especially in late-game areas and expanded Jinlong regions.

Do Mineral Beds respawn?

The Mineral Beds themselves are permanent mining locations that you tap into with rigs. The ore nodes on those beds are repeatedly mined by your rigs as long as they’re powered. This is different from Rare Growth and Rare Ore nodes, which sit on long respawn timers and are meant to be cultivated on OMV Dijiang instead of farmed via the factory.

Can I get Originium/Amethyst/Ferrium without Mineral Beds?

Yes, you can pick up small amounts of ore manually in the world and as quest rewards, but that’s not enough for a serious factory. The main, sustainable source is Mineral Beds fed into mining rigs and your AIC production lines.

Are there Mineral Beds for Cuprium or other late-game ores?

Yes. For example, Endfield Builds lists one Cuprium Mineral Bed in Wuling Outskirts that can be mined with a Hydro Mining Rig. This suggests that other late-game ores (like Cyanite or Cuprium) may have specialized beds in later regions, gated behind water or other mechanics.

What’s the difference between bed-mined ores and Rare Ores?

Bed-mined ores (Originium, Amethyst, Ferrium) are processed by your AIC Factory into industrial products and gear components. Rare Ores (used for weapon tuning) are manual field pickups or OMV Dijiang crops; they never go into the Factory. Think of bed ores as “factory fuel” and Rare Ores as “tuning items.”

How do I know which Mineral Beds to prioritize?

Focus on three factors:

  1. Node count: 5–6-node beds are worth powering early.
  2. Distance to your main AIC: beds closer to your Core AIC or Sub-PACs are cheaper to connect.
  3. Quest lock-ins: some beds are tied to main or side quests; these often lead to especially good or strategically important beds.

As a rule, I prioritize Hub Amethyst Bed 1, Originium Beds 2–3, and the first few rich Ferrium beds I can reach.

Should I build one giant factory or multiple regional factories?

You can do either. I personally prefer:

  • A main central factory (usually in The Hub or Wuling City).
  • Smaller regional outposts near dense Mineral Bed clusters (e.g., Jingyu Valley, Power Plateau) that feed specialized products.

This mirrors how a lot of base-building strategy games recommend designing modular “districts” instead of one sprawling, unmanageable baseofzenandcomputing .

How can I make sure I don’t miss any Mineral Beds?

  • Use official map tools like SKPORT, which let you filter by resources and facilities.
  • Follow region-by-region walkthroughs for chests, Aurylenes, and ore – many chest/collectible guides also pass Mineral Beds along the way.
  • Always read quest tooltips: if a quest mentions “restoring a mining area” or “powering a launch pad,” there’s almost always a Mineral Bed tied to it.

Conclusion

If you like planning factories and optimizing resource flows, Mineral Beds are your playground in Arknights: Endfield. With the Originium, Amethyst, and Ferrium beds I’ve listed here, plus the routing tips and strategies above, you should be able to build a factory that scales comfortably from your first Originium rig all the way to advanced Wuling and Power Plateau operations.

Bookmark this guide and revisit whenever you unlock a new region – as soon as more Mineral Beds (especially late-game Cuprium and beyond) are documented, I’ll update so your factory never starves for ore.
