Beating Civilization Stage Without Spending Any Money (Spore) 

And hilarious. "Oh, hang on, I'm getting a call on the other line, I'll, uh, call you back later!"

Playing on the other continent is definitely worth exploring and I'll try to show any other interesting findings! So far I've seen that there are no other creatures during Creature Stage on the other continent, but there will be creatures once we advance into Tribal Stage. For speedruns we had theorized perhaps migrating to a small continent to limit the amount of tribes that can spawn, similar to using the planet sculpting tools to make a small island that only allows 1 other tribe to spawn to beat Tribal Stage super quickly, but this hasn't been done yet!

Especially when you got the water and land swapped glitch, where ur nest is in the water and if you go on land the "sea" monster kills you

Seconded

stupid communism

That's just playing Civ 5

That's an interesting idea! I wonder if it's possible (through glitches or mods) to get the Earth terrain in Civilization Stage. I'm not sure currently how to get that to happen, home planets seem to be restricted to 15 different set terrain layouts.

@@KinglyValence maybe with cheat engine, though IDK because I don't understand about the subject

I think those nests are used as markers for other civilisations and their goody huts when it gets to that stage.

They're actually still used for cities in the civ stage. All player migration nests and cities, alongside the player starting nest, are stored in a planet's LVL file, which were hand-made by Maxis using the now-defunct in-game level editor. Migration nests also serve as places for cities to spawn in the civ stage, so those nests are a side-effect of this.

This is possible with Cheat Engine and I show how to do most of that here :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8La1mcMyGgc.html

What do you mean you "sculpted the planet with another save" is there a way to edit played planets in another saves space stage?

​@Alex_Barbosa yes. You have to start a space stage on a new save, remember location, and quit without saving. Now knowing where that planet is, you can get there and do whatever you want with it

Rival tribes don't seem to spawn on Creature Stage nests but they do seem to have set/consistent locations when they spawn, but not sure what markers these use. The rival cities on the original player's continent also spawn at nest locations. I'll look into this more but I believe there are 12 total nest locations on each planet, 5 on the home continent and the other 7 nests dispersed on other continents. :)

I did that too, dint remember how, just remember being confused on why there were no other creatures.

Thank you! I think Space can be done in 3 communication screens. 1 to become a Captain at the start. 2 when the defense drones contact when scanning the destroyed cities. 3 accept/decline the colony mission and buy the Interstellar Drive 2 from our home world. Then use the Ghost Ship glitch to reach the Center of the Galaxy!

Oh wow thats way less than I thought!! Guess it wouldnt make a very long video lol. Thanks for replying have a good day!@@KinglyValence

That could be fun, maybe something done live if I work up the courage haha

There only seems to be other nests to migrate to, without regular creatures on the other continent. But once we advance into Tribal Stage regular creatures will appear. :)

No sorry, I didn't keep the whole thing. I recorded it Fraps back in the day and the files were huge haha. Too big for my bad computer at the time.

That achievement says to play every level and use every creator, I have a list of all the editors I can find when I was working with Cheat Engine that might help! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G8u2TkkDOqIaW1twGC1bB2V0KqRxjsTBv_a_aUmrolQ/edit#gid=0

Been playing casually off and on since 2008, but started speedrunning and tricking around 2016. Hard to estimate the total amount of hours, but maybe around 2,000 :)
