How I Beat Spore with the Shortest Timeline 

Well they had to get to the eggs somehow, might as well smooth talk their way to them.

You can be a vegetarian and still eat eggs. Same principle, I guess?

Now, if only EA would do it.

They seemed to do quite a bit, it's just that the important bits can be summarized quickly or aren't worth mentioning for whatever reason.

@@theshadowyparasite9448This sounds like something Douglas Adams would have said

-be born -E A T -Evolve -E A T

@@ladyalicent705Despite not ever actually reading Hitchhikers Guide I still recognized the authors name. I think the cover of the book is burned into my memory from sitting on my brother’s shelf for years

If he was able to add multiple new parts, he should've made himself a platypus, since they don't do much.

That would make sense that once we interact with a creature they are locked in, good point! I'll test that out some more as well.

Yeah. Very depressing to see those tiny pathetic worms that I have allied. I usually extinct pittyful creatures and only start friendship with bigger creatures.

@@karpai5427 I allied the char nom once and now I never kill them.

@@karpai5427 Bro wasnt accepted to art school

The school was very lame. Took a lot of money and did not teach anything. Was a complete waste of time and money.@@cocojumbo539

That makes sense the creatures would be locked in after interacting with them. I'll try researching this a bit more and letting them hatch their eggs and even try leaving and reloading the area as well to see if maybe they'll evolve.

Spore 100%, YES please

with the caveat that the jester badge must be the last badge

would you even need a glitch to get both grox badges though? there's nothing stopping you from destroying an empire you've previously allied, so i assume you could get both badges without glitches. you'd need to cheat anyway to get the jester badge, so maybe this wouldn't take hundreds of hours if you used cheats to kill the grox quickly.

@@alnoso but once you get the joker badge you can't get other badges, so you have to do it in a way the game recognizes as legit

@@alnoso I can't see a Grox kill being quick even with cheats. At best he has something like fanatical frenzy or gravitation wave and keeps refreshing the cooldown. But he's still going to have to visit each of the ~5k planets manually and most likely that will be too tedious to do in one sitting. The real killer though is the badges for discovering galactic formations or storybook planets. There isn't a way to cheat that really so even if he wastes hours killing the grox he needs to check individual planets in the downtime to fill up those badges.

"beat the game with obtaining as few things as possible"

immense joy

i've been waiting for it

Thank you! Yep, increasing the terra score to 1+ will destroy the Grox colonies. We can also use Volcanos directly on their cities to destroy them too for cheap bombs lol :)

There's a couple more applications for using terrain tools on a home planet, including only allowing 4 total cities to spawn in Civilization Stage by covering the planet with land like in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YgywGM0uELg.html For a head start we can place spice collected from one saved game and place it on planet in the star system of another game to gather spice for free in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MmF6uREgXd4.html It's theoretically possible to make a planet where both 1 rival tribe spawns and also only 4 cities spawn but we haven't been able to optimize it fully, but this video shows a video getting 1 tribe but 8 city spawns :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TrRUQ2deFl8.html

Thank you! Spore is locked to 30fps (mouse is recorded in 60 in the videos) but it is possible to raise the game's frame rate. I use a pretty decent graphics card on my tower to play and record with so maybe that helps. Maybe try lowering the in-game settings? I usually play on medium/low anyway lol, some of the visuals I find too distracting to show what's happening clearly.

@@KinglyValence Thanks for the reply! I looked around the internet a bit afterwards, but having a confirmation is really nice. I wasn't able to really find anything besides the fact that the game is in-fact just not made for better laptops lol. At least it's still very fun to play :)

I'm not sure exactly how it works, I think the Green Keeper and Colony tools will stack their effects and make it very unlikely that bio-disasters occur, but not entirely sure, sorry.

Likely the Cell Stage speedrun of 3min5sec would have the least amount of years, since the other Stages don't contribute towards the years as much as Cell Stage, getting out of Cell with the least years I think would give the least total by Space :)

EU doesn't interest in that due to expected low profit.

There is a mod called "No grox" where the Grox only have 1 solar system and to make that mod work you need to reset the Galaxy by deleting the Spore folder which is located in ...\AppData\Roaming\SPORE

I believe these "Enter Stage" cards are required for the timeline. I think Spore still counts the creature as being saved even without changing it when leaving editors. There is technically a glitch that bypasses the editor at the very end of Cell Stage and won't show Generation 2 starting Creature Stage. However, this soft locks Creature Stage and doesn't spawn any other creatures on the land. I didn't show it since it didn't work but I find it interesting :)
