Your ship is made of modules: the pressure hull and one module per compartment. Every module starts at Mk I, what the ship comes with, and can be upgraded twice. You buy upgrades in port, on the upgrades tab, with credits and with ore you have mined and brought home.
How it works
- Ore pays for upgrades. Mk II of every module costs ferrite ore. Mk III costs cobalt ore and titanite.
- Upgrade the drill first. Its Mk III only needs cobalt, and a better drill is what lets you cut cobalt and titanite at all. See Mining.
- Upgrades stay with the ship. They are saved, and your sub is rebuilt with them every time you dive.
- When every module is at Mk III, the ship is mastered.
