Getting Started Guide

This page provides guidance for new and established players to help make the most of their time on the server. Pages linked from this page provide further detail of the topics covered in this article.
== Server Overview ==
Quotro is build focussed survival server. The server has villages, towns cities, roads, railways and other infrastructure much like the real world. There are also countries and local political entities that divide the world. The main ‘country’ is the Kingdom of Quotro which is 4900x4900 square where no monsters spawn and teleports are allowed - most of the server’s builds are located here. Beyond the Kingdom of Quotro teleports are blocked and monsters spawn; this area is known as the outlands.
== Visiting Quotro ==
=== Spawning ===
All new players are welcome to join the server at server.quotro.net to explore. Visitor is the default rank and allows players to interact with blocks, teleport but not build. Since visitors cannot harvest food, they are the only rank with access to /feed. Spawn Point is located in the northeast of Port Thomas - the largest city on the server. 
=== Transport ===
New players are encouraged to use the web map to help with navigation. Stars on the web map can be teleported to using the /warp command. Quotro also has extensive and well labelled road and rail networks. Travelling long distances to destinations with no warps is best done through the nether roof ice highways which are accessible through /warp nether_roof.
== Building on Quotro ==
Visitors who are interested in building on the server may request permission to build either by asking an online mayor or admin, or by asking in the general channel of the Quotro Discord server. Once promoted, players will receive the 'Resident' rank. Within the Kingdom of Quotro (the big square on the map) it is best to ask an admin or the local district mayor for land before building. Beyond the Kingdom of Quotro, players can build anywhere so long as it doesn't interfer with other players' structures. The server has many public quaries and farms to aid resource gathering. Settlements started within the Kingdom of Quotro are eligible for construction support through the National Development Support Program. 
== Further Promotions ==
Players can get promoted from resident rank to helper, mayor or admin according to the amount of building contributed to the server. Within the Kingdom of Quotro, players are promoted to helper by taking command of a borough, mayor by taking command of district or admin by taking command of the country. The mechanisms for claiming leadership or creating new boroughs or districts are fully detailed in the Local Government and Settlements Act. The server may also grant elevated ranks to players building outside the Kingdom of Quotro for contributing to the server at a similar level to what would grant a promotion within the Kingdom of Quotro.
