Best Creature Stage Glitches in Spore 

in the creature stage, if you go to a pile of bones and collect the part, the bones will look a little different before disappearing and if you pause before the bones disappear and do the freecam cheat and then zoom out a lot and zoom back in and unpause and collect the part again you will get another part and you can keep doing this until you have all of the parts. sometimes the bones will just disappear, but you can just find more. edit: if you get the bones near epics the bones will not disappear until you got all of the parts in creature stage

@@BillyBobJoJr.The8th It totally works! Thanks for the tip! :D

Ok, so from seeing this 8:00 and the cell stage video with turbo speed, basically eveything about speed and cooldown boosts when moving is "this is the power of love". I used a different trick to migrate to another continent, clicking on the stop game button, using freecam to see another continent and then choose a nest from there is less tedious than trying to travel to the sea through ctrl+alt+supr. The sea monster will automatically eat you the first time the moment you switch to the nest, but then you'll be safe afterwards, however, there is a small chance the game will not let your creature move (except for jumping), but that gets fixed once you call a mate and enter the creature editor.

Thanks for confirming that! I was wondering if they carry over to the tribal stage.

I think I brought through like 3 more creatures into the tribal stage than I was supposed to in my run when I did the glitch. Can't remember how much I exploited it in the tribal stage though. But if this glitch is exploited fully, I think it could be rather useful in speedruns for both the creature stage and the tribal stage.

that happened to one of my creatures before

Wonder if you can beat creature stage bound to water When this happenned to me as a kid i tried to use the poison to shoot a creature that had it's nest close to the shore All the species of that nest went extinct Hovewer all of the other nests where out of range :(

lol yea, spore has an absolute arsenal of weird never-explained features. for example holding tab gives you a bunch of extra rotation wheels, so you can be more precise and dont have to deal with the janky ball rotation thing

I'm not sure what makes it happen naturally, but I've seen a few people describing this occurring. For this video I manually removed the land around the nest using Planet Sculpting tools from another saved Space game to create the same effect!

I've had it happen! Also had a tribe spawn in the water too...

I've had it happen and I think its something to do with skipping/ spamming escape in the cutscene after cellstage where you swim up to the surface and walk onto land

@@PGB14Party pooper

a classic quote from this guy.

it's somebody who follows weird nonsensical comment trends get him

Right! I believe that works as well!

not to be all "erm actually" on a 2 month comment but the way the waternest glitch actually happens is super interesting! at least from sporewiki, the values of water and land get swapped in a sense (i don't know the intricacies of the code, but let's represent water as 1 and land as 0, since land does nothing and water summons the sea monster) . though water and land are supposed to be 1 and 0 respectively, land becomes 1 and water becomes 0 . it is not an artifact of the aquatic stage, though. i'm guessing it would be even buggier (a la flora editor) or would at least have food sources, but it's entirely barren. would also imply the creature would just be floating on top of the water the whole stage, which from what little we see is inaccurate. what many people don't realize is that the aquatic stage was, from what we know, planned to be closer to a long-term choice to stay in the water. you would have had underwater vehicles, underwater tribes, and...i dunno what space stage would be im ngl. it seems to have been scrapped early in dev, and i imagine that though spore does use a very consistent game world (i've extincted things in the creature stage that filled out the ecosystem in space stage and ended up with a few holes in my ecosystem) it probably wouldn't use the same game world for aquatic games and land-based games, nor would it get past to the point wher eit'd become a glitchy artifact. thank god for special interests enabling me to write youtube essays about things that aren't even in the game lmao

I'm not sure what makes it happen naturally, but I decided to include it because I've seen a few people describing this occurring. Maybe it was an older version bug that was fixed. For this video I manually removed the land around the nest using Planet Sculpting tools from another saved Space game to create the same effect!

This sounds super fun to watch, I’d love to see if it’s possible

Tribal Stage sounds absolutely impossible. You would also have to start Civilization Stage as Economic, since that might be the only way you can capture cities with only one vehicle.

Creature sounds doable but slower, I've beat Tribal Stage just with the 3 starting members before on Easy difficulty (the chieftain and the 2 others) but haven't tried it with just 1 tribe member, and Civ can be done with just 1 Economic tank total to buy the other 3 cities on the home continent and then ally merge with the other nations to complete Civilization Stage!

@KinglyValence A huge problem is that you have to finish Tribal Stage as Industrious in order to start Civilization as Economic, since getting economy tanks from villages probably breaks the rules of the challenge. I genuinely have no idea how you could solo Tribal Stage with only your chieftain, especially since the moment he dies you'd lose the Stage. You also start with 3 other tribe members that you'd have to lose somehow. Even if you could micro like a madman and wipe out entire tribes with only your chieftain (without dying), I have no idea how you'd socialize other tribes with only your chieftain in order to finish Blue.

Number 1 tip I can give is make your last hard save at the end of tribal before going on to civ. Sometimes economic cities don't even spawn and the only way to change that is resetting to before the start of civ. Number 2: pick a buddy, trade with them to boost their economy, but don't buy their cities. Let them conquer the world for you, then when it's just you two, buy three of their cities.

Thank you! :D I actually have a video specifically on starting Civilization Stage Military and ending Economic on Hard! :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LOm4_F8r6tw.html

@@KinglyValence wooo, i take it this applies almost identically to religious?

The paw-faced creature i referred to is created by GerbilDestroyer5 on the sporepedia. (Thats me)

I notice, though, that Error's creature's extra feet do not sink below the editor when you add a new pair. I may be wrong about it being a mod then.

That's an interesting mod! It might be possible that a mod could have caused it. Error did have some mods installed at the time but didn't think the mods they had would have cause this, which is why I still considered including showing it in the showcase. And still interesting to me that if this was the result of mods that the creature still works in my vanilla game too!

This was able to remove the entire spine and just leave a leg? I tried but couldn't remove the last 2 spine bones. Do you have a clip? Or maybe I'm not understanding the glitch completely?

Thank you! I'll likely get back into more full game speedruns one day! :D These tricks will definitely come in handy then!

@@KinglyValence looking forward to it! I'd watch the hell out of spore speedrun livestreams, honestly

You use the cheat "evoadvantage".

@@Geta92 ahh ok thanks g

That's interesting that a lot of people get it when doing the "no evolution" challenges or really low level creatures. I've gotten it 1 time since this video and I was doing a no evolution run as well. I wonder if that has something to do with it or a coincidence.

I honestly still don’t know how I got through creature stage on that creature. It’s almost as underleveled as the Grox without their cybernetic parts.

@@KinglyValence Narotiza got it on the original pitiful worm

I've heard others recalling this glitch as well. I believe this glitch occurs on the earliest version of Spore but has been patched out since. I mostly play on the latest version of Spore so I haven't gotten a recording of it.

@@KinglyValence Sadge, that's why I never got it again.

It's crazy to still see people exploring glitches in this game. Makes me want to pick it up and give it another shot - any advice for someone looking to run this on a modern machine? Last few times I tried were spotty.

I think it's because the creature is too large to be used, so the game automatically scales it down but since the part that is distanced from it is so far away it just makes the creature look tiny

Yep, it's on the list! ;)

The movement glitches work in Galactic Adventures as well! And GA has its own exclusive movement trick that's even easier too! All it requires is feet with at least jump level 4, then pause, hold W, while holding W press Space for Jump, release W, and unpause. And that will send our Captain flying! :D

That's interesting! That's cool the Tribal Chieftain was able to become invincible as well? That's good to know!

@@KinglyValence i hoped the info helped, if thats so your welcome i wish some day we figure out how to do these glitches

We can get really high with this glitch and I've seen it's possible to reach the other planets in the sky (they aren't solid you'll go through them) but it's pretty cool! Not sure about a sustained orbit, and we'd have to keep using the sea monster bypass a lot.

The other nests are the same locations as Civilization Stage cities, so if you know where those are it may make it easier to find. Using the "freecam" cheat can also help look for them. And setting the Lighting Quality to High in the graphics settings may help the glitch as well, it takes longer for the game to be brought back up and gives more time to spam Escape :)

​@@KinglyValence i figured out that you can actually claim the nest through freecam. and i sucessfully did it

I don't I've seen our creature or our packmates get abducted in Creature Stage, but I have heard it's possible for our tribe members to get abducted by the space ship! It would be a really cool Galactic Adventure to make it appear like we are abducted in Creature Stage and need to bust out all the other creatures in the cargo lol.

@@KinglyValence I remember as a kid hearing a rumor that if you get abducted by the UFO in creature stage you'd instantly evolve straight to space stage. It would be cool if that was the case, but I'm sure that was just the dreams of some imaginative children. I always wondered how the game would actually handle that case though / if it's possible. I'd assume your creature would just die. That'd definitely would be a cool Galactic Adventure map though, ha ha.

So the way I played when I was young 😂

they often do near to this during their speedruns, actually!

@@flaireyuwu I never noticed that, thx for informing me

The sea monster still got you on another continent after a while even after migrating to a nest on that continent?

@@KinglyValence No, I was on ocean, i spam escape after the CTRL ALT DEL and I’m an egg again

@@Serperior1212 I've found if the game reloads too quickly, if you have a really good computer, increasing the Lighting Quality in settings will make it take longer to reload and give more chance to spam Escape. But it can be tricky to get every time.

@@KinglyValence thanks

The duplicating parts glitch? It does work. It can be kind of difficult though, it may take a few tries but does get easier with practice :) The editing does make it look easier than it is because I cut out my attempts to make the presentation better.

if you want other games how about just go to another channel

I might try out some others in the future, but I'm focusing on Spore for now :)
