Construction
Construction, or known in-game as the Factory allows one to expand their arsenal. By using a Development Material (Devmat for short) and a certain amount of resources, you can build new Kanmusu to expand your fleet as well as build better weapons. Unlike the flash version of the game, the RNG in KC Kai's Construction mode can give you the ships you want the first run, but then troll you on the subsequent runs. As with any RNG, your mileage may vary.
It is important to note that instead of ships being constructed using real life time like the Flash version, Kai uses turns. For example, if you're building a destroyer it will take usually 2 turns, while a Battleship can take more than 10. Using a flamethrower or "Fast Construction Item" makes waiting a thing of the past, and your new kanmusu will be smokin' hot out of the factory. Also, access to the factory is not possible on some Hexagons, so plan accordingly.

Construction Recipes
The following recipes were taken from the other english Kantai Collection wikia - they won't mind. Some ships are only available to be built by Large Ship Construction (LSC).
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 http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle AND ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ACTUAL IN-GAME CHANCES.
Destroyer
| Fuel | Ammo | Steel | Bauxite | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 | Mainly destroyers and light cruisers, with a small chance of heavy cruisers. No rare destroyers. Small chance of Yayoi, Yuubari and Akigumo. |
| 250 | 30 | 200 | 30 | Includes chance of rare destroyers (Shimakaze, Yukikaze, Z3) and submarines (I-168, I-58, I-8). 1.22% Shimakaze, 1.71% Yukikaze, 2.6% for submarines.
Z3 when using Z1, I-8, or Prinz Eugen as secretary ship. Z1 when using Z3 as secretary ship. |

Getting what you want without wasting too much time
The best way to get what you want is to save your game before you start building, ensure you have the RGame kernel plugin loaded and reset the game using the plugin's in-game reset key combo. To obtain this plugin, see the Taihen Plugins page. Every time you get a ship that you want, save again and continue building.
