This chapter of the Quick Start Guide will focus on building up your first colony.
 +
==Increasing Population==
 +
In the previous chapter we covered how to construct buildings, you should now have filled all the woods with nature preserves - these allow you to gain three necessary things:
-
<P align="left"><SPAN class="orange"><B>Welcome to </B>"<B>SpaceTrek: The New Empire</B>"<B>!</B></SPAN></P>
+
*Attractiveness - This will attract more colonists and allow you to bring in more population without having to import from other planets.
-
<BR>
+
*Internal Reputation (Experience) - The higher your internal reputation, the less you have to worry about using holodeck operators or soldiers to keep your population in line
 +
*Plasteel - This is the most basic of building materials and is essential for building anything. Nature preserves will stop producing plasteel at colonisation level 8.
-
You just <b>colonized</B> your first planet, a Standard Type M Planet. This is your home-colony - each settler can only colonize 1 planet of this type. Later on you will be allowed to colonize other, different planets and asteroids: Moderate-, Water-, Desert-, Ice-, Lava- and Rock-Planets and also 3 kinds of asteroid fields.<BR>
+
After building the nature reserves you should have reached '''colonization level 3'''. Your colony should now look something like this:
-
<BR>
+
-
You are now on <B>colonisation level 2</B>. Your aim is to increase your level constantly up to the maximum of level 8. With each new level, you get access to new <B>buildings</B> and sometimes also new <B>ships</B>. To increase your colonization level, you have to increase your "<B>Reputation within your Empire</B>"(internal reputation). Your <B>internal Reputation</B> will increase according to your <B>Population</B>, the number of <B>Natural Preserves</B> you create, and the number of <B>environmentalists</B> you employ.  The higher your internal reputation, the easier you will find it to keep your population happy and your workers working productively.  The "Reputation across the Galaxy" (external reputation) is not important just yet.

The next thing you need to worry about is increasing the population on the planet. You will need workers to produce supplies for your empire. Start by building a few towns and farms.

==A fresh start (Resetting)==
+
If you build a few too many you will run an energy deficit.
-
When you first start start out, you will inevitably make mistakes as you learn how to build your colonies.  Don't worry about it - if you don't like what you've done, you can start again very easily, and as often as you want.  If you select <font color=#777777>"Preferences" --> "Reset account"</font> then your account will be set back to Colonization level 0, and you can start again, avoiding the mistakes you made last time. Most players will reset at least once early on. So don't be afraid to experiment as you read through this guide and learn the game.

This is expected and can be easily remedied by building [[Solar Array|solar arrays]] on the desert fields. You will also notice that you automatically gain experience through building structures.

But first things first. Let's take a look at your ship and your colony. Go to the main menu, and click on <font color=#777777>"Ships"</font> to go to the Ship Overview screen:
+
You may have noticed the message informing you that one or more buildings are not activated, this is because even though we've built living space, new population only arrives at each tick. Normally there are 5 ticks each day which take place at set times (13:00, 16:00, 19:00, 22:00 and 00:30 Server Time), however in the beginners zone you get a special perk. You get 10 extra ticks a day that you can activate with the following button. You can use it to speed along construction or resource acquisition.
-
{|style="text-align:center;"
+
Click this button and your planet should now be filled with population.

 +
[[File:ExtraTick.png|link=]]
 +
 
 +
Now we start building on the way to level 5. Since you now have some excess population and energy it now makes sense to build some plasteel factories, to increase production.

The next step will be to prepare for duranium production.
 +
 +
==Building a Duranium Factory==
 +
 +
[[Duranium]] is the second basic building material, used in the construction of most buildings and all ships it is an essential material when starting out.
 +
 +
Duranium can be produced by a [[Duranium Factory|duranium factory]], it costs 4 [[Energy]], 6 [[Workers]] and 12 [[Iridium Ore]] to produce 4 duranium.
 +
 +
Therefore before we can start producing duranium, we first need to build some [[Iridium Mine|iridium mines]] to produce iridium ore. On an M class iridium mines produce 6 iridium ore each, so to get enough iridium to start duranium production we need 2 iridium mines, these can be built on mountain fields.

Once these have been built, build a duranium factory on an ice field.
 +
 +
It will also be necessary to build more living space, farms and solar cells to meet the requirements for workers, food and energy. You will probably also need to use some extra ticks to generate sufficient plasteel for construction. Once you reach level 5 it will also take time for your buildings to complete.  Once you've met these requirements the colony should look something like this:

This should be producing 24 [[Plasteel]] and 4 [[Duranium]] each tick.

Once you've reached level 5 the orbit fields will appear, here you can build orbital structures such as solar satellites, we will come back to this later on.

You start the game with a single DY-500 class "Colony ship". Your ship overview shows you where your ship is: in this example, the ship is in Sector 514|503. Your ships start just above your home colony. After the location, you can also see other key pieces of information about your ship. From left to right, these are: the amount of energy the ship has: 50, the amount of deuterium on board (fuel): 123, the number of crew on board: 12, and the amount of food on board: 15. A colony ship can carry up to 20 people, and it allows you create new colonies elsewhere, and 'beam' down goods and people to get them started. "Beaming" down is a well-known mode of transport used in the science-fiction series Star Trek, and it uses energy. Your colony ship can beam 20 goods or 4 crew per unit of energy, to and from the colony.
+
At this point you are probably able to upgrade to level 6, we generally recommend not to do so yet - instead it is normally best to stay at level 5 for a few days to make use of the extra ticks you get in the beginners area to get your home colony to a better level of production.
-
Remember that on every 'tick' ship crews and colony inhabitants consume food, and ships burn fuel. (Ticks occur at 12, 15, 18, 21 and 23:30 UK time). Every 5 crew on a ship, or inhabitants on a colony will eat 1 unit of food (rounded up - in this case, 12 crew will eat 3 food per tick). And the reactor on your Colony ship will convert deuterium to energy at a rate of 1 fuel to 1 energy. A Colony ship's reactor can generate up to 10 energy per tick, and its solar cells can generate up to 4 energy more if in orbit of a planet. Always make sure your ships and colonies have enough food and deuterium aboard. If there is no fuel, the reactor will not generate energy. If there is no food, energy will be used to run the replicators (1 energy per food needed). But if the ship has no replicators (or no energy to run them) then the crew will abandon ship!
+
You have probably used up the majority of your extra ticks getting to this point and will not have enough duranium to construct any more buildings until there is another tick, therefore in the next chapter we will be looking at ships and trading at a supply station to obtain more duranium so we can advance faster.

This chapter of the Quick Start Guide will focus on building up your first colony.

Increasing Population

In the previous chapter we covered how to construct buildings, you should now have filled all the woods with nature preserves - these allow you to gain three necessary things:

  • Attractiveness - This will attract more colonists and allow you to bring in more population without having to import from other planets.
  • Internal Reputation (Experience) - The higher your internal reputation, the less you have to worry about using holodeck operators or soldiers to keep your population in line
  • Plasteel - This is the most basic of building materials and is essential for building anything. Nature preserves will stop producing plasteel at colonisation level 8.

After building the nature reserves you should have reached colonization level 3. Your colony should now look something like this:

1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 3.gif 2.gif 0.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif

The next thing you need to worry about is increasing the population on the planet. You will need workers to produce supplies for your empire. Start by building a few towns and farms.

If you build a few too many you will run an energy deficit.

This is expected and can be easily remedied by building solar arrays on the desert fields. You will also notice that you automatically gain experience through building structures.

1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 3.gif 2.gif 0.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif

You may have noticed the message informing you that one or more buildings are not activated, this is because even though we've built living space, new population only arrives at each tick. Normally there are 5 ticks each day which take place at set times (13:00, 16:00, 19:00, 22:00 and 00:30 Server Time), however in the beginners zone you get a special perk. You get 10 extra ticks a day that you can activate with the following button. You can use it to speed along construction or resource acquisition.

Click this button and your planet should now be filled with population.

Now we start building on the way to level 5. Since you now have some excess population and energy it now makes sense to build some plasteel factories, to increase production.

1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 3.gif 2.gif 0.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif

The next step will be to prepare for duranium production.

Building a Duranium Factory

Duranium is the second basic building material, used in the construction of most buildings and all ships it is an essential material when starting out.

Duranium can be produced by a duranium factory, it costs 4 Energy, 6 Workers and 12 Iridium Ore to produce 4 duranium.

Therefore before we can start producing duranium, we first need to build some iridium mines to produce iridium ore. On an M class iridium mines produce 6 iridium ore each, so to get enough iridium to start duranium production we need 2 iridium mines, these can be built on mountain fields.

Once these have been built, build a duranium factory on an ice field.

It will also be necessary to build more living space, farms and solar cells to meet the requirements for workers, food and energy. You will probably also need to use some extra ticks to generate sufficient plasteel for construction. Once you reach level 5 it will also take time for your buildings to complete. Once you've met these requirements the colony should look something like this:

2.gif 2.gif 2.gif 0.gif 3.gif 3.gif 3.gif 2.gif 2.gif 2.gif
0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 3.gif 0.gif
0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 3.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif
2.gif 0.gif 3.gif 2.gif 2.gif 2.gif 0.gif 3.gif 3.gif 0.gif
1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif 3.gif 0.gif 0.gif 1.gif 1.gif 1.gif

0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif
0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif 0.gif

This should be producing 24 Plasteel and 4 Duranium each tick.

Once you've reached level 5 the orbit fields will appear, here you can build orbital structures such as solar satellites, we will come back to this later on.

At this point you are probably able to upgrade to level 6, we generally recommend not to do so yet - instead it is normally best to stay at level 5 for a few days to make use of the extra ticks you get in the beginners area to get your home colony to a better level of production.

You have probably used up the majority of your extra ticks getting to this point and will not have enough duranium to construct any more buildings until there is another tick, therefore in the next chapter we will be looking at ships and trading at a supply station to obtain more duranium so we can advance faster.
