		+	It is generally recommended you apply for a '''First Step Manager (FSM)''' when starting the game. First Step Managers are all players who have been playing STNE for some time and so have gained a lot of experience. Once you've chosen an FSM you can ask them about virtually anything related to STNE.

To increase your colonization level, you have to increase your experience (this later becomes known as internal reputation). This will increase each tick according to the attractiveness of your colony, the number of nature preserves you create and the number of environmentalists 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.

This chapter of the '''Quick Start Guide''' will see you through your first steps in [[STNE]]. It will help you to reach level 3 (lvl3) by explaining, among various other things, how to construct new buildings and how to apply for a first step manager (FSM).

==The Colony's Interface==
<img src="{imagepath}1a.JPG"/>


In the main screen, click on your colony's image or select the text link "[Go to my colony]. You will then be presented the colony's interface.



The colony's interface will provide vital data on your colony, for example about how many people inhabit the colony as well as its current stock of goods. It even gives you a preview on how much energy and how many goods your factories will produce and consume each tick.



<img src="http://villkuboard.de/stne/3.JPG"/>



The Surface of the planet that your colony is located on, is divided into various squares, so called fields. You can get information on a by simply placing your mouse pointer above it. This will bring on a context menu with all the important data. (as shown in the picture)



The Orbit section provides some information about what ships are currently stationed in your colony's orbit. In the picture above, it is the colony ship. You can use the pull-down menu to quickly change any of your own ships in orbit. However, you cannot quick-select a ship that is located somewhere far from your colony.



The small display at the top of your Colony's interface shows how many inhabitants live on your planet and how much energy is stored. This will be important later on, as you want to increase your colony's productivity. We will come back to that shortly.

==How to Construct Buildings==



The first "building" you should construct is an additional natural preserve. These preserves help to increase your internal reputation which in turn is needed to raise to a higher colonization level. 
The following images should give you a general idea on how to build surface structures, taking a natural preserve as an example.



<align="left">
<img src="http://villkuboard.de/stne/4.JPG" align="left"/>
1st step: 
Click on any undeveloped field of woods (i.e. a field, 
on which no natural preserve hasn't been built yet). 
A context menu should pop up. Select Construct a building. 
 

2nd step: 
A new interface shows up, listing various buildings 
that currently can be constructed on the selected field. 
As you reach higher levels, you will be able to build 
a whole lot more buildings than when you started. 
Please, hover your mouse pointer above the question mark 
next to the Build button. This will bring up 
another context menu which shows details about the 
natural preserve, like what materials are needed to 
build it, its general effect and so forth. 
Click on Build to start the construction. 
 

3rd step: 
At the top of your screen, a protocol will be displayed, 
containing information on what goods and how much energy 
were used. You should always check the protocol in order 
to verify was done as you intended it; in case something goes 
wrong, the protocol will give you a hint on what most likely 
caused the problem. 
 

In order to advance to level 3, build two more 
natural preserves, please, and continue to section 3. 
</align>



{top} 
 





You should proceed to develop your colony. Additional information about this topic will be given in the next chapter, Further Instructions.

==Apply for a First Step Manager==

To become a first step manager, one has to have been playing STNE for some time so as to have gained a lot of experience plus one must have proven to be very reliable. Therefore, each new player should choose a FSM whom he can then ask about virtually anything related to STNE.
