Wuling First Part End?!

If you remember in my last post on Arknights Endfield ( https://blog.emptyblue.it/impression/arknights-endfield-yvonne-laevatain-and-gilberta-side-stories ) I was excited about completing the Wuling storyline and getting to make a new article talking about my experience with it, so I decided to start today and try to get it done in one sitting.
Food and drinks ready on the side, time to do a long session trying to get it complete. There was a lot of good will believe me.
Issue is that the story abruptly ends after getting the first village side-PAC (Tangtang's base in the Stockade) with basically nothing resolved and only very little information revealed at all. We got to know the vice-roy of the city (Zhuang Fangyi), a few other officials (Mi Fu for example) and the basic premise which is all centered around Xiranite production needed to power the defenses that are keeping the city safe from the blight that is expanding.
There is no real info given about the goals of the villains nor about what we're going to do to try and stop them. I understand they couldn't put the entire storyline in the first patch, but this feels hacked away without a reasoning around it. This isn't a "natural breaking point" that allows you to say "oh, this piece is done, let's wait for the next one".
Now we'll need to wait until the patch 1.1 (which is going to be mid-late March 2026) to see how it continues. I guess I'll go back at doing just dailies and wait for it I guess. There's not even a reasonably big amount of facilities in the Wuling AIC to focus on factory building either, kind of disappointing.
