What to know
-
Citrome is a 1-star plant-type natural resource (a gatherable fruit).
-
You can obtain it by foraging in the wilderness or by planting it in the AIC, particularly near the Old Water Plant.
-
A key use is shredding it into ingredients used for food/material production chains.
-
In lore terms, it’s part of the “Zitros” genus and is associated with Talos-II’s central continental region (with cultivated variants in the Civilization Band).
In Arknights: Endfield, you’ll typically run into Citrome during early progression because it’s easy to pick up and quickly feeds into crafting and processing loops. The real trick isn’t finding one Citrome, but setting up a repeatable route and (when available to you) backing it up with cultivation so your supply stays consistent.

Where to farm Citrome efficiently
Citrome is a wilderness gatherable, so you’re looking for outdoor patches where multiple fruits spawn close together, including Umbraline and Buckflower, letting you sweep the area quickly and repeat a loop. When you find a spot that produces several nodes in one pass, mark it and treat it as your go-to route, because volume matters more than distance traveled.
Exact Location
The location where you can get Citrome is near the Old Water Plant in Valley IV/The Hub. The exact confirmed spot is shown below:
How to get Citrome in the wild
Step 1
Start scanning for plant gatherables. Citrome is explicitly described as a fruit gathered from the wild, so you’ll be interacting with a plant node rather than mining or dismantling objects.
Step 2
Harvest every Citrome node you see in the area before moving on, even if you only need a few, because you’ll often burn through plant resources once you start shredding/processing for downstream crafts.
Step 3
Do a second sweep of the same immediate area (a short circle route) to catch any nodes you missed behind rocks, elevation changes, or foliage, since the biggest losses usually come from skipped spawns rather than low spawn rates.
Step 4
Once your route is stable, transition to cultivation: Citrome can be planted in the AIC, which is your long-term solution for keeping supply steady without relying solely on overworld availability.
Step 5
Use your Citrome for processing: the item description calls out shredding it to create food or materials for other products, so treat raw Citrome as an input you’ll refine rather than something you hoard indefinitely.
Farm Citrome by running a tight wilderness loop that hits multiple plant nodes quickly, then switch to planting it in the AIC once you can for a steady pipeline. From there, shred/process it into the food and material inputs that actually drive your crafting progress.
