Construction

Introduction

Construction is a feature that enable admiral to build their ship. Building ship consume resources and one development material each attempt. Development material can be found by completing quest, expedition, and some sorties.

The chance of obtaining rare ship is not affected by headquarter level or the type of flagship you have (not confirm but new admiral can definitely obtain rare ship), but does affect by the amount of resources you input in.

The recipes bellow list the type of ship you may obtain. All recipes always have a chance to make more than one type of ship. Keep in mind that construction is a "game of chance" which mean that the type of ship and the exact ship you obtain is totally random, so the chance to obtain the ship that you desire is low. There is also some ship that is currently unbuildable, the list can be found here.

Also please refrain from asking "why didn't I got xxx ship with xxx recipe?" The chance is that you didn't read this section, using the wrong recipe, or simply having bad luck.

Building recipes

DISCLAIMER: THESE RECIPES ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO GIVE YOU THE SHIP YOU WANT IN THE NUMBER OF CRAFTING ATTEMPTS THAT YOU CAN AFFORD.  PERCENTAGES LISTED ON SOME RECIPES ARE SOURCED FROM wikiwiki.jp/kancolle AND ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ACTUAL IN-GAME CHANCES.

PLEASE ADD NEW RECIPES YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE REVIEWED FOR ADDITION INTO THE SPECIAL TABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION.

Destroyer

				Remarks
30	30	30	30	Mainly destroyers and light cruisers, with a small chance of heavy cruisers. No rare destroyers.
250	30	200	30	Includes chance of rare destroyers (Shimakaze, Yukikaze) and submarines (I-168, I-58). 3.22% for Shimakaze OR Yukikaze. (Shimakaze 2.24%, Yukikaze 0.98%). 3.9% for submarines. [1]
250	130*	200	30	3.85% for Shimakaze OR Yukikaze. 3.36% for submarines. [2]
270	30	330	130	6% for Shimakaze (3.75%) OR Yukikaze (2.25%). 3.8% for submarines. [3]
270	150*	370	50	7.19% for Shimakaze OR Yukikaze. (Shimakaze 2.74%, Yukikaze 4.45%,). 3.73% for submarines. [4]

• Data from http://kancolle-db.tk/ suggests that increasing fuel, steel, and ammo all increase the chance of receiving a rare DD. However, it appears that values higher than 300 fuel and 400 steel begin to generate more CV/CVLs and fewer rare DDs.  Further increasing bauxite does not appear to have a significant impact on the chance of receiving a rare DD or SS and is more likely to result in CV/CVL.

Light cruiser

				Remarks
30	30	30	30	Mainly destroyers and light cruisers, with a small chance of heavy cruisers. No rare destroyers.
250	30	200	30	Light cruisers, heavy cruisers, rare destroyers and submarines.

				Remarks
250	30	200	30	Light cruisers, heavy cruisers, rare destroyers and submarines.
270	30	330	130	Slightly higher chance for heavy cruisers.

Battleship

				Remarks
400	100	600	30	BB (32.49%), CA (57.93%), CL (7.38%).
