The main screen has a few UI elements that can be interacted with beyond the main cluster of six buttons towards the right side of the screen.
* Tap your player name at the top left to bring up your profile.
* Tapping either of the plus signs (to the right of your current resources, in the upper right, or to the right of your current diamonds, in the upper left) will direct you to the microtransaction store.
* At the bottom right of the screen, there are five buttons.  In order from left to right, they are [[Guide:Quests|Quests]], Mail, Store, Collection, and [[Guide:Basics#Settings|Settings]], respectively.
* The display at the bottom right of the screen shows limited-time events.  The amount of time remaining in days and hours is displayed above the graphic.
* Tap the [[Guide:Basics#Timers|triangle]] at the far left of the screen to bring up a screen that shows the current status of your echelons.

The Settings menu is split across three tabs: Sound, Game, and Push.  Your current client version is displayed below the list of tabs.

== Resources ==

In Girls Frontline, players have access to four categories of resources:
{|
|[[file:icon_manpower.png|50px]] '''Manpower (人力):''' ambient gain rate of three per three minutes
|[[file:icon_ammo.png|50px]] '''Ammunition (弹药):''' ambient gain rate of three per three minutes
|-
|[[file:icon_ration.png|50px]] '''Rations (口粮):''' ambient gain rate of three per three minutes
|[[file:icon_parts.png|50px]] '''Spare Parts (零件):''' ambient gain rate of one per three minutes
|}
The amount of resources you have is displayed at the upper-right hand side of the screen.

Beyond ambient resource gain, players can gain resources by sending echelons on [[Guide:Logistic Support|logistic support]] missions or by completing [[Guide:Quests|quests]].

Resources are consumed in the following ways:
* Repairing T-Dolls will consume manpower and spare parts.
* Deploying echelons to a map will consume manpower.
* Each echelon deployed to a map will consume rations at the beginning of every turn.
* Each time an echelon fights a battle on a map, it consumes rations and ammunition at the end of the battle.
* Starting an autobattle will consume all four kinds of resources.
* Construction of either T-Dolls or equipment will consume all four kinds of resources.

== Player Profile ==
