===I heard about a resource cap. What is the limit? Can't I gather resources exceeding my limit?===

===I heard about a resource cap. What is the limit? Can't I gather resources exceeding my limit?===

* The absolute cap for resources, called "Hard cap" is 350,000 while the cap for items such as Instant Repairs, Instant Constructions, and Development Materials is 3,000. Once you reach this limit, you will not gain any more resources even if you do expeditions or hit supply nodes in sorties. Note that this is different from the resource regeneration cap.

===Why am I going through resources so fast?===

===Why am I going through resources so fast?===

It goes without saying that you don't have an unlimited number of resources. Running CV and BB-heavy fleets is going to eat through your resources faster than you can generate them through time or expeditions. Make sure that you use those poor DD's and CL's too. Yes, they may seem utterly weak when compared to your hard-hitters, but when they are needed everywhere, so go leveling them up and gettings their respective remodels.

eat through your resources faster than you can generate them. Make sure that you use light fleet as much as possible.It's also a good idea to identify the most expensive ship to sortie for each category.

If it's specificaly the steel that are being consume fast then remember that heavy ship consume a lot of steel to repair. Or maybe you are using [[jets]] which consume steel each time they sortie.

If it's specificaly the bauxite that are being consume fast then your plane are being shut down. To limit this put bomber on the highest plane slot and use plane with [[anti-airresist]].

===What is Modernization and Remodeling?===

<!--[[File:Model2.jpg|thumb]]-->

Modernization is the process whereby ships are sacrificed to increase certain stats of another ship. See the [[Modernization]] page for more details.

* [[Modernization is the process whereby ships are sacrificed to increase certain stats of another ship. See the [[Modernization]] page for more details.

 

* [[Remodeling is the process whereby a ship is upgraded to its next model. The new model usually comes with increased stat caps across the board. Certain ships also get a new card art and library entry, and some ships will change classes. Remodels usually come with the cost of consuming more either fuel or ammo (or both), though there are exceptions, such as first-remodel destroyers and [[I-168]], which maintain the same consumption rates, or aviation cruisers/battleships, which receive a decrease in ammo consumption (though their fuel consumption still increases). Keep this in mind when managing your expedition fleets.

You can remodel a ship to its next model at any point after it reaches the required level, and the ship will retain its level upon remodeling. Be aware that any modernization stat bonuses will be lost upon remodeling. Stats that cannot be increased via modernization (evasion, anti-sub, line-of-sight) will be recalculated to match the level upon remodeling, so you don't need to worry about potential permanent stat losses due to remodeling at high levels. Modernizable stats (firepower, torpedo, AA, armor) will revert to the ship's base stats (plus stat gains from its level).

This is called 'flagship protection.' Ships that have taken less than light damage (小破) will occasionally protect the flagship from getting damaged. Its cause is unknown but some formations make it more likely to occur than the others. It will occur more often especially in the vanguard formation.

You have either reached the maximum limit of ships in your port (the default is 100 ships) or reached the maximum limit for equipment (default to 497). Consider either scrapping a few of them or using some as modernizing material before heading out. You will not be able to obtain new ships if you are at either limit. If you wish to expand your docks so you can collect more ships, you have to buy a port expansion from the [[Shop#Recommended Items|cash shop]]. Each expansion costs 1000 yen, and increases the maximum ship limit by 10 and the maximum equipment limit by 40.
