</>What does Full Armoury do?
Ship of Fools hands out its ships, cannons and trinkets slowly, over a great many runs. That is a fine way to play it the first time. It is a miserable way to play it when you already know what you want and just want to sail. Full Armoury opens the lot. One press and the shops are stocked with everything the game has, so you can pick the boat you actually like, bolt on the cannon you actually want, and go. Two buttons, because not everyone wants the same thing. Open The Armoury gives you everything the build knows about. Base Game Only sticks to the core game and leaves the rest sealed for later. Your unlocks are saved straight away, so they are still there next time you load in. Reopen the shop after pressing to see the new stock.

Ship of Fools hands out its ships, cannons and trinkets slowly, across a great many runs. That is a fine way to experience it the first time and a frustrating one when you already know what you want. Full Armoury opens the lot in a single press, so the shops stock everything and you can pick the boat you like, bolt on the cannon you want, and simply go sailing. Two buttons cover the two kinds of player: Open The Armoury unlocks everything available, while Base Game Only sticks to the core game. Unlocks save immediately, so they are still there next session.
</>Common questions about Full Armoury
What does Full Armoury do in Ship of Fools?
Full Armoury opens up the ships, cannons and gear that Ship of Fools normally hands out slowly across a great many runs. One press and the shops are stocked with everything, so you can pick the boat you actually like, bolt on the cannon you actually want, and go sailing. It is aimed squarely at players who have already done the grind once, or who came back after a break and would rather not re-earn a collection they remember owning. There are two buttons rather than one, because not everybody wants the whole cupboard opened at once, and your unlocks are saved as soon as you press.
What is the difference between the Open The Armoury and Base Game Only buttons?
Full Armoury gives you two buttons. Open The Armoury unlocks everything your copy of Ship of Fools knows about, including any extra content that came with your build. Base Game Only sticks to the core game and leaves the rest sealed. The second button exists for a specific kind of player: someone who wants the base collection opened up so they can stop grinding, but who is still working through the later content properly and does not want it spoiled by finding it already unlocked. Pick whichever fits how you play. If you press Base Game Only today and change your mind next week, you can still press Open The Armoury then, since the two are not mutually exclusive.
What actually gets unlocked when I press Open The Armoury?
The things Ship of Fools normally keeps behind its progression: the alternative ships, the cannons and weapons you would otherwise be slowly earning, and the gear that shows up in the shops between islands. After pressing, the shop stock is the full list rather than the slice your account had reached. Full Armoury also handles each unlock separately, so if one particular item does not apply to your version of the game, the rest still go through and you never end up with a half-open collection and no way of telling which half is missing. Everything that unlocks is saved straight away, so it is all still there the next time you load in.
Do the unlocks stay after I turn Full Armoury off?
Yes. Full Armoury adds its unlocks to your Ship of Fools progression the same way the game does when you earn something, and they are saved as soon as you press the button, so they survive closing the mod, closing the game, and coming back next week. That makes it one of the few mods in the collection that is not simply a toggle you flip back. It is worth a moment's thought before you press if you are the sort of player who enjoys the slow reveal of a roguelite's collection, because there is no undo button that re-locks what you have opened.
Why is the shop still showing the old stock after I press the button?
Close the shop and open it again. Ship of Fools builds the list of stock when you walk up to the counter, so a shop you already had open when you pressed the button is still showing you the list it drew a moment earlier. Stepping away and coming back rebuilds it, and the full range appears. Nothing has gone wrong and you do not need to press Full Armoury a second time, because the unlocks landed the moment you pressed. It catches almost everyone the first time, since the natural instinct is to stand at the shop counter while you press the button.
