You'll probably want to build some more ship girls 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.

The buttons on the left, in order, are:

The buttons on the left, in order, are:

* Build Ship

* Construction(建造)

* Scrap Ship

* Dismantle(解体), often called "scrapping"

* Build Item

* Development(開発)

* Scrap Item

* Discard(廃棄), "scrapping" of equipments

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 formulas, 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)

* '''Destroyer/Light Cruiser''': 30/30/30/30 (48% chance of Destroyer, 45% chance of Light Cruiser, 7% chance of Heavy Cruiser)

* '''Battleship''': 400/30/600/30 (45% chance of Battleship, 50% chance of Heavy Cruiser, 5% chance of Light Cruiser)

* '''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 scrapped as well''' when you scrap a ship, so if you want to keep the equipment you may wish to remove it first.

Building items is similar to building ships, but the result depends on the flagship of your main fleet as well as the materials used, and has a '''chance to fail completely''' which is rather high when not following a pre-tested formula. Upon a failure, you will lose all materials used except the development material.

'''開発/development''' is similar to building ships, but the result depends on the flagship of your main fleet as well as the materials used, and has a '''chance to fail completely''' which is rather high when not following a pre-tested formula. Upon a failure, you will lose all materials used except the development material.

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.

'''廃棄/Scrapping of equipments''' works similarly to scrapping ships.

To build both ships and items, you will need '''development''' '''materials''', which have an icon that looks like two nails side by side. Like with other consumables, it's a challenge to use all of them unless you do an awful lot of building. However, if you need more, you can get them from completing quests and also some expeditions.

To do construction/development, you will need '''development''' '''materials''', which have an icon that looks like "two nails side by side and a gear". You can get them by completing some quests and expeditions.
