===Normal Construction===

===Normal Construction===

This is the basic construction method. Recipes range from 30-999 Fuel {{Fuel}}, Ammo {{Ammo}}, Steel {{Steel}} and Bauxite {{Bauxite}}. Each attempt costs 1 development material {{DM}}. Speeding up construction costs 1 instant construction {{IC}}.

If applicable, it is often more resource efficient to find a desired ship in sorties as a drop rather than building them.

 

Construction results are independent of HQ level and are solely determined by the amount of resources and devmats used. It is sometimes more resource efficient to find your desired ship in sorties as a drop rather than building them, farming ships through sorties also has the added benefit of training your ships.

===Large Ship Construction===

===Large Ship Construction===

Large Ship Construction (LSC) allows you to build rarer ships in exchange for more resource inputs. Recipes range from 1500-7000 Fuel {{Fuel}} and Ammo {{Ammo}}; 2000-7000 Steel {{Steel}} and 1000-7000 Bauxite {{Bauxite}}. Each attempt costs either 1, 20 or 100 development materials {{DM}}. Speeding up construction costs 10 instant construction {{IC}}.

'''"Large Ship Construction" (LSC)''' allows to build rarer "bigger" ships in exchange for more resources. Recipes range from 1500-7000 fuel {{Fuel}} and ammo {{Ammo}}; 2000-7000 steel {{Steel}} and 1000-7000 bauxite {{Bauxite}}. Each attempt also costs either 1, 20, or 100 development materials {{DM}}. Speeding up construction costs 10 instant construction {{IC}}.

 

*LSC is unlocked by completing quest {{Q|F10}}.

LSC is unlocked by completing two quests:

*According to the developers, having empty construction docks very slightly increases the chances of obtaining rarer ships [https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/415300448770207744]. This statement has not been fully tested yet.

#Complete Modernization Quest: You will be required to successfully modernize a ship 4 times.

#Complete Crafting Quest: You will be required to scrap equipment four times (i.e. perform the scrap action four times, **not** scrap four pieces of equipment)

 

According to the [https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/415300448770207744 official Twitter], having empty construction docks very slightly increases the chances of obtaining rarer ships. This statement has not been fully tested yet.

Unlike normal construction, certain ships require specific flagships in order to be built. For example, constructing Saratoga requires either Kamoi or Iowa (both american-made ships).

**For few ships, an exact Secretary is required in order to be built, see ''[[#Special Secretary|below]]''.
