<u>'''The chance of obtaining a rare ship is not affected by headquarters level, but by a number of resources you put in.'''</u> New admirals can definitely obtain rare ships, but these are '''small odds'''.

Construction is a feature that enables admirals to build new ships. Building ships consumes resources and one development material (or more devmats in the case of large ship construction) [[file:Development material.png|30px]] per attempt. Development materials can be earned by completing quests, expeditions, and some sorties.

The recipes below list the types of ships you may obtain; however, all recipes always have a chance to make more than one type of ship. Keep in mind that the '''type of ship '''and the '''exact ship '''you will obtain are '''randomize''', so the chances of obtaining the ship you desire may be fairly low. There are also some ships that are currently unbuildable; this list can be found [[Construction#Ships currently not buildable|below]].

Construction results are independent of HQ level, and are solely determined by the amount of resources and devmats used. There are also some ships that are currently unbuildable; this list can be found [[Construction#Ships currently not buildable|below]].

Please refrain from asking "why didn't I get xxx ship with xxx recipe?" Chances are that you simply had bad luck or used the wrong recipe. Take note that sometimes it is easier and more resource efficient to find your desired ship in sorties as a drop rather than building them (i.e. 4 Kongou sisters are quite common drops at world 3-2 node A).

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 (also abbreviated: LSC) involves the input of a larger quantity of resources (2,000-7,000 for steel, 1,000-7,000 for bauxite, 1,500-7,000 for other resources), either 1, 20, or 100 development materials [[File:Development_material.png|30x30px]], and 10 instant construction [[File:Instant construction-0.jpg|28x28px]] to immediately finish the construction of a ship. LSC allows the construction of ships like [[Yamato]] that cannot be constructed via normal construction, and is unlocked by completing two quests:

Large Ship Construction (also abbreviated: LSC) involves the input of a larger quantity of resources (2,000-7,000 for steel, 1,000-7,000 for bauxite, 1,500-7,000 for other resources), along with 1, 20, or 100 development materials [[File:Development_material.png|30x30px]]. The cost for instant construction is 10 [[File:Instant construction-0.jpg|28x28px]] units.

 

LSC is unlocked by completing two quests:

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

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

#Complete Crafting Quest: You will be required to scrap 4 pieces of equipment. Do it one by one as the game will consider discarding multiples at once, as one time

#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 better ships appearing.

According to the [https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/415300448770207744 official Twitter] , having empty construction docks very slightly increases the chances of "better" ships appearing, but this has not been formally tested

 

 

Furthermore, certain ships can only be constructed with designated secretary ships, for instance, constructing Saratoga requires either Kamoi or Iowa (both american-made ships).

*It is highly likely that the [[Z1]] unlock quest must be cleared before [[I-8]] can construct Z3. There is only a small amount of evidence for this, but it's generally advisable to simply use Z1.

*It is highly likely that the [[Z1]] unlock quest must be cleared before [[I-8]] can construct Z3. Due to low sample size and lack of pictorial evidence other than collected construction data, avoid using her unless you've lost all your German ships after completing the quest.
