The overflowing fuel and coins is annoying me. Is there a way I can expand the limit or use everything faster? What should I be focusing on for now?

"When you claim Mail rewards, all Oil and Coin rewards are stored in Mail Storage. The caps are 600K Oil and 1.8M Coins respectively. Leave ALL Oil / Coins inside Mail Storage until you need it. This helps prevent your Canteen and Merchant from filling up. You can withdraw from Mail Storage as needed. "

Should I just go ahead and claim everything from mail then?

I'd recommend actually spending the oil you got down to your current softcap of 1.3k Oil befre you can do such thing

yes claim it, it'll be put into a seperate storage

white pumice Dec 23, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

oh ye claim it, forgot about it. Leaves your mails open for more mails later on

remote flint Dec 23, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

the reason for this was cause of seperate issues etc but TLDR mail took up to much space so they made an entirely new storage for it

cedar quail Dec 23, 2025, 10:35 AM

#

Okay I'll claim it all now

#

Next what should I prioritize?

#

What does it mean if I have a lock on a character?

#

Just follow the guide, progress the campaign and level stuff up.

#

And do the event if able

white pumice Dec 23, 2025, 10:43 AM

#

the guides there are the basics any newbie follows

#

Got questions? Ask away

remote flint Dec 23, 2025, 10:43 AM

#

We got more guides but those will come later gotta get the basics down first

#

What's the lock symbol on the characters?

remote flint Dec 23, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

It means you won't show up when you go to scrap ships or pick them when you are enhancing manually etc

#

so as to not accidentally throw away a ship

#

you can unlock them if you don't wish to continue having them and need to get rid of them

#

It's essentially a safety measure

cedar quail Dec 23, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Ah okay

#

Is it a good idea to start building ships now?

remote flint Dec 23, 2025, 11:13 AM

#

remote flint Dec 23, 2025, 11:18 AM
