# Loading Docks

Ready for some hard-earned cash for all your efforts? Send a cart filled with crafted weapons over to the loading docks for transport. Transporting items from the docks earns you light shards, which is the main currency used in-game. Upgrading the loading docks unlocks new mechanics and boosts to increase exporting capabilities!

**If resource harvesting or any other input of weapon engineering exceeds your docks exporting capabilities, then production is limited to the docks capabilities as the docks are the last step in the process.**
