Rio De Oro was a western frontier city in Alpha Centauri, located at approximately -1133, 66, 793 (OW). The name, meaning "River of Gold" in Spanish, reflected the city's ambitions — a project board with over a dozen planned works suggests an active building programme.

History and Development[edit]

A planning board posted at the city centre listed the following projects:

Build Warehouse
Go on a Quartz Expedition
Light Up Area Around the City
Fight the Wither
Re-Create Nether Hub
Build Automated Farms
Replace Ground
Build Skelly Grinder (referenced location: -1409, 27, 597)
Divide Land into Sectors / Plots
Re-Locate Rail-Line
Finish Reed Farm
Build Mob Grinder
Finish Trading Post
Re-Create Slime Grinder
Finish Expansion
Build Roads
Bring Horses to Rio

The final item — "Bring Horses to Rio" — gave the city its name in-world.
