I would appreciate a fact check on the Resupply section; this is just my observation.
* '''Materials''' - You need these to resupply, repair and create things in the Factory. They are '''''Fuel''''', '''''Steel''''', '''''Gunpowder''''' and '''''Bauxite'''''

If the battle was considered a victory for your fleet (rank B or above, and you did not withdraw from the night battle,) and was not a dead end on the map, you will be given the option to '''continue''' with the button on the left, or end the sortie with the button on the right. To unlock the next zone, you will need to win a victory against the boss enemy.

==Repair and Resupply==
Chances are that one of your ship girls was damaged during your first sortie. If not, they certainly will be in short order, so you had better learn to '''repair'''.
[[File:KanColleRepair.png|thumb]]
Click the Repair button on the Main Screen. You will see your repair docks (two by default; more can be purchased in the cash shop.) Click a dock to see a list of your ships, by default ordered by remaining HP. When you select a ship, you will see a screen similar to that on the right.
Every repair costs a large amount of steel and a smaller amount of fuel. By clicking the slider, you can also use an '''Fast Repair Item''', which looks like a bucket when received as a drop/reward. These are more abundant than you might expect- it may be possible to run out of them if you use one on every single repair, but don't hesitate to use them on particularly long ones.
Click the button on the bottom right to start the repair. Unlike when building ships, there's no need to 'claim' a repaired ship. Also, there is a bug that may be of interest to KanColle addicts; if less then one minute remains on a repair timer (or any timer in KanColle, in fact- expeditions are also affected) it will be completed immediately upon switching screens.
Finally, if you change your mind about waiting for a repair to finish, you can click the green button on the right of the dock at any time to use a bucket and complete the repair instantly.
Even if your ships didn't take damage, you will need to '''resupply''' them. Click the Resupply buttom on the Main Screen.

The Resupply screen is sorted by fleet and appears fairly straightforward. Click on one or more ships to select them, then click on the bottom right button to refill their fuel and ammo. Easy, right? Unfortunately, it's not nearly that simple.
This is not shown on the Resupply screen itself, but refilling fuel and ammo also refills other consumables attached to ships, most notably airplanes that were shot down. These also cost materials to refill- in the case of airplanes, 10 bauxite apiece. If you don't have enough bauxite, not all the airplanes on your ships will be refilled, and you'll be unable to do this until you spend some fuel and ammo on an expedition or sortie.
In short, '''be careful of your bauxite level when resupplying carriers''' or other ships with airplanes.
==Using the Factory==
You'll probably want to build some more ship girlss to bring your first fleet up to its maximum of 6 (this is one of your quest objectives, actually.) Click the Factory button on the main screen.
[[File:KanColleFactoryShip.png|thumb]]
The buttons on the left, in order, are:
* Build Ship
* Scrap Ship
* Build Item
* Scrap Item
Building a ship brings up the dialog on the right. You can fine tune the amount of materials you want to use to attempt to get a certain category of ship, with 30-60% accuracy. You can try your luck with random amounts (which is likely to result in a destroyer), see the [[Construction]] page or individual ship pages for details on ship 'recipes,' or use these basic ones: (Materials are in the order Fuel/Ammo/Steel/Bauxite)
* '''Destroyer/Light Cruiser''': 30/30/30/30 (48% chance of Destroyer, 45% chance of Light Cruiser, 7% chance of Heavy Cruiser)
* '''Rare Destroyer/Heavy Cruiser''': 270/30/330/130 (5% chance of [[Shimakaze]] and [[Yukikaze]], 45% chance of Heavy Cruiser, 45% chance of Light Cruiser)
* '''Aircraft Carrier''': 350/30/400/350 (14% chance of Standard Carrier, 34% chance of Light Carrier, 17% chance of Seaplane Carrier, 15% chance of Light Cruiser or Destroyer)
* '''Battleship''': 400/30/600/30 (45% chance of Battleship, 50% chance of Heavy Cruiser, 5% chance of Light Cruiser)
The slider will allow you to use a '''Fast Build Item''', akin to Fast Repair. You are unlikely to run out of these unless you build ships nonstop. However, if attempting to build a specific type of ship, you may wish to begin the build first, compare the build time to those listed on [[Construction]] page to see what you're building, and then instantly complete the build if you so wish by clicking the button on the right of the dock. When you're no longer a newbie, fast builds are wasted on destroyers and light cruisers you'll have no use for anyway.
'''Scrapping''' ships will destroy a ship to give you a small portion of materials, and should be self-explanatory when performed in game. The amount of materials returned is meager enough that you should consider using unwanted ships for [[modernization]] instead. '''All equipment on a ship will be destroyed as well''' when you scrap a ship, you may wish to remove it first.
Building items is similar to building ships, but has a '''chance to fail completely''' which is rather high when not following a pre-tested recipe. On a failure, you will lose all materials used. Due to this, it is the writer of this tutorial's personal opinion that building items is not worthwhile except when required by quests or if you have an excess of materials. A much slower, but more reliable way to get rare items is to refit ships; their new versions will come with upgraded equipment.
Scrapping items works similarly to scrapping ships. However, you can't do anything else with unwanted items, so you may as well make use of this.
