The SPORE Iceberg PART 2 

Fun fact: The Grob is the name of their species. Their empire is called The Grox. Grob backwards means Borg. This is where all the startrek theories come from. Even in the game files they are called grob probably because it was a temporary placeholder name before it settled on grox. At least thats my take. There is a 14 year old video titled "Grox evolution" here on youtube named Spotecheater

I think the Cocoon virus might be referring to a bug that can happen in the creature stage if you expand out too fast and kill too many species all at once the game will try and spawn more species if you're early enough in the creature stage but if you kill too many they're all these cocoons that just kind of ooze liquid and they'll end up being like the only thing you run into for a while. I've had this happen to me a few times and you just end up wondering around the planet for like 10 minutes until something eventually spawns.

back in the day you could make your own spore merchandise hoodie, you could do a design on it and everything. I had one and i wore it proudly as an 8 year old in elementary school.

Small correction @ 19:04 - Actually, using these on Grox planets still gives positive reputation, as long as you don't use it *directly on* a Grox city. Otherwise you get a reputation penalty for "using unfriendly tools." Meaning you can, for instance, Fanatical Frenzy a Grox planet and they'll love it.

Correction at the Roblox part. In Spore there is a cheat called "blocksmode", which does the same thing as u shown in the video. Im not too sure what the purpose of this was but as a 3D modeller I could take a guess this was to either simplify the geometry, or show collision boxes of the creatures.

For the "empires can settle suns thing", here's my thoughts: According to the Spore Wiki, if you use Planet Buster to destroy all planets in a system, the sun will remain. Your ship will hover above it but be unable to enter the sun. I have not tried this myself. I wonder if it's possible to combine this glitch with the "settling gas giants" glitch? Where an empire captures a star system, but there's no planets so they "settle" the star.

The Grob is the file name for the Grox in game. As for Harvester vehicles, it seems like this was a class of Vehicle that didn’t make it into the Civ stage. It has beta voice lines that we know of.

I actually really like the theory that the Grox haves ties with humanity. On top of all the arguments in the video, the Grox (to my knowledge) are the only space empire with human vocals in their anthem, which would explain why they're seemingly connected. Also, great iceberg, I love to see Spore content even 15 years after its release!!!

I tried posting this comment earlier but I wasn't sure it went through and I don't see it anymore, I tried editing it but RU-vid had a weird error, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate :) Some more info on Pause Boosting, there are 3 distinct methods: First, this one only requires Wings and is the weakest. Start by pausing, selecting another creature in front of us, jump twice, then unpause and we'll launch. I believe this is the one the comments shown were describing. Second, requires Wings and Sprint. Select another creature in front, activate Sprint, jump, tap backwards (S on keyboard), and continue to alternate between jump and backwards and we will gain a lot of speed. Then hold forward to direct our creature and this will give an incredibly fast launch. Pressing Escape or using the mouse to steer our creature in order to deselect the creature in front can help as we pass over them. Sometimes we can get a mid air stop when we reach the creature in front, same can help the first one as well. I credit @Slimeade for finding this particular launch, here's their example ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3q1H_o5KPV4.htmlsi=xGwv1XJaUSU28TLx Third, exclusive to Galactic Adventures, this one only requires we have feet with at least level 4 jump. This one only needs us to pause, hold forward, while holding forward press jump, then release forward and unpause. This will give a very strong launch as well, and I believe this is actually the kind of launch being shown in the Galactic Adventures example. This launch for example can be used to beat the Bahaha 500 Adventure in less than 30 seconds fairly easily! There's some other movement tech in Galactic Adventures like being able to fly up infinitely that's pretty easy! Doesn't require wings or sprint. Only need to hold forward, jump, get some good height, keep holding forward, hold Right mouse button, then together hold Left mouse button, the release Right mouse button, and our Captain will start ascending! There are other methods to make that work but that one is the easiest!

You should have included the hell sanctuaries, when you have a sanctuary planet that has no habitability (T score of 0). I saw it once before.

Harvester vehicles were cut vehicles that were to harvest spice in the civ stage. They were cut for being tedious and unnecessary. Frog was the initial name for the grox, being Borg backwards, the Borg being the inspiration for the grox.

EA: Let's make 100 Spore games. EA: Let's cancel all of the Spore games. EA: Why is nobody buying Spore games?

Am I the only one that feels like Clark and Stanley's names were inspired by Ratchet and Clank? I dunno why, probably Clark more, but it just fits.

From what I've heard, the Grob is the name of the Grox in the spore game files. I honestly couldn't find much on it.

i think i know why roblox acts weird when spore is running in background and vice versa, both games were made in pretty much same time, so devs probably used same code and functions, and roblox most likely fixed the bug, since it has long history and was updated a lot (maybye spore did but it didn't change as much as roblox did)

8:01 the man. The dog. And the ugly

My favorite glitch for playing as a hunter with herbivore/omnivore mouth is to flap wings in the air and click on a fruit hanging from a tree. The creature will head towards a location in the air, since it cannot find pathing towards the tree, and eat the fruit from WAY far from the actual tree itself. This is great because fruits heal and satiate a substantial amount better than carnivores eating meat on an empty den.

i have waited 2 years for this sacred moment

Idk if you’re familiar with it, but there’s a guy making a spore spiritual successor called Elysian Eclipse

27:10 thats actually just another thing you can do with shift+control+c Its called blocksmode

I remember playing Spore Creatures Mobile! there were a handful of "worlds" that you explored, socializing or killing a nest of another creature followed by a big boss that you had to kill. One of those bosses was basically a yeti that throws rocks at the player character creature. then the final part of the game had your creature gathered around a campfire with other versions of your creature, the only difference between them all being your creature's torso being different lengths. Implying that you're about to enter tribal stage. you could go back to previous worlds and unlock new colors and parts by searching the world, but once you killed a nest of creatures that was it. they would be extinct forever even when you go back.

Basically every time I've gotten to the tribal it's been only my tribe being my species, except for like, one time.

Due to the fact that the center of the galaxy is a singularity, it is possible that Steve exists outside of space-time or in some state that would make you meeting him independent of the time of your present.

Heres two additional entries that haven't been said in either iceberg videos (as far as i know) White spice: white spice is a bug in the game, instead of the normal spice options when you go to a planet, you could find white spice, it can't be sold or gotten without cheats or mods and if you place ot down on the planet either it'll crash the game or it'll be deleted by the game, its also rumored to be on gas giants and is there as a filler option instead of the other color spices Mercury, venus and earth spice change: these 3 planets are unique and can change what spice they produce for each different save you use, Mercury and venus can either be yellow or in rare chances purple, but earth can be any spice option, but its commonly yellow (it even has a chance to be white spice but it was on a older version of the game as a bug)

I think I might know what the Cocoon virus is. As a kid I vividly remember multiple instances when I encountered it. Might be misremembering the details tho, it's been more than a decade after all. But I remember being met with a nest that never left the cocoon stage, which would then make all the next both start spawning only as cocoon nests and never evolving. The only thing that helped was migrating to a new nest which, I assume, resets all spawns automatically to more advanced species.

Stupid Theory: The Sea Monster Is Battered Feesh But Not Battered

When I played spore, I recall getting a bug over and over where the creature stage would start on land (or far into the water) and then my creature would walk to the nest, which was in water. Water and land physics were swaped. When I went on land, the sea monster would pop out. I would always get really sad when this happed because there was nothing i could do. The worst glitch im dealing with makes it impossible to make galactic adventures as the game always crashes, with mods or without. I tried everything.

I need to find a pickle planet and then put all my "inappropriate" creatures on it

There was a huge Spore iceberg published on Reddit not too long ago (easily bigger than both of your iceberg videos), if you want I can send you a link

I kick myself all the time that I never got the creature figure made. I always told myself it had to be perfect before buying one.

Hi. I'm one of those participants in the Fiction Universe you mentioned. To explain to anybody who is curious: The fiction universe starts all the way back in 2006 (when the wiki was founded), and I believe a certain well known figure who made quite the well known drawing of their fictional creature started the whole thing. Along with obviously writing about the game and its features/mechanics on the wiki, users (which are still on the wiki to this day and are still active!) began writing fiction pages, which eventually were (from my understanding) coordinated under the Fiction Universe project. At its height hundreds of people were writing about their fictional empires, creatures and even making their own galaxies until it ended up getting _way_ too out of hand. So we basically used what are the "evil Gods" of the Fiction Universe to basically wipe out 90% of the actual fiction "in universe". As far as I remember most of these fictions/galaxies weren't actually deleted, they were just ceremonially considered to "not exist" anymore. I've never actually tried to look for galaxies that no longer exist anymore. Another correction to make is that this Fiction Universe has grown so large that it's honestly not even based in Spore anymore: It's only loosely based on Spore (such as, at least for the main continuity) including inventions such as the Staff of Life and the Grox. We basically at this point only use Spore for creature creation and or spaceship/vehicle creation to show off in our infoboxes, and even then some of us forgo Spore entirely to use other programs/games. Spore is a pretty small game all things considered and it's such an old game that all the things that can be discovered and that are worth actually writing about have been written about, meaning that the only thing SporeWiki really has going for it anymore _is_ its Fiction Universe. You can imagine that over a span of 18 years that most of the people who once wrote on the wiki have moved on long ago- so it's quite slow and I would honestly say on the verge of dying at this point. There are still, however, a handful of people who have been continuously contributing to the wiki for nearly *20* years now, which is honestly baffling to me. It's also funny to me how the creators of among the most famous TF2 memes, "MEEM"... is an active creator in this very fiction universe.

rest in peace sporums, I wonder if the wayback machine still has the site.

Oh my, I appeared in a video! Thanks for including me hahaha, great video just like the first one!

Correction, the grox dont care if you fanatical frenzy their own planet, they will still get the "broke the galactic code" status effect and will not care or retaliate

Yoooo! awesome! i enjoyed the first vid! great work lad!

I got something to add. Spore -Collectors- Galactic edition. It was the special box set for the game. I had it and it just alot of concept art and a bonus cd about the making of the game. I can't remember much more, but it may be out in my garage somewhere. Or it might have been long tossed out. But it's largely forgotten about with most people these days owning the digital version of the game.

So I got the first iceberg video on my feed yesterday evening and went “heck yeah!” And when I finished it I was like “that was great, wish it was longer but oh well” And then I see there’s a part two that came out years after the first one? I love this and I love you

Nice video! I'll keep up with your channel. I enjoy your videos :)

"Look ma, I'm on someone else's RU-vid video!" Jokes aside, thanks for the inclusion. Also, I gotta say, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this game after so many years of owning it, but apparently Spore is the gift that keeps on giving. By the way, I think I saw the human-faced dog creation in a haunted-house-themed galactic adventure once. Didn't know it was particularly notable. Also, when I mentioned the "Hidden vehicle weapon", I was referring to a singular vehicle editor weapon part (like the guns on spore's military vehicles) that goes unused in the final game. From what I remember, it can be accessed in a similar way to the hidden cell parts that only appear on the Maxis cells, through a hidden version of the vehicle editor. That said, though, it's extremely hard for me to find any information on as well, and I'm starting to think I could have completely misremembered all of that. I'll edit this comment when I find anything else about it.

I see the cubic planets every time does anyone have that

I think that the Steve and grox (specifically the evolution one) theories are correct. and for the Steve one, he also has a human name, and a common one, at that.

Once again, great video! Glad my comment made it in!

At some point I kind of hope to be relevent to one of the moderate to deep iceberg entries but alas, seems like my little corner of Spore isn't so important for these things.

I love seeing new Spore content! Best game ever

28:02 I miss the Sporum. You know those Tuba Man memes. I strongly remember these photos being shared on the Sporum long before the Instagram post that set off the widespread meme. Unfortunately all that information is probably lost unless someone archived it.

I don’t think there will ever be a Spore 2 in the form of a direct successor, and that makes me sad. I hold out hope that talented and passionate individuals exist out there who eventually create a spiritual successor instead

I added onto the Grox theory much more and made it more compelling with real science. Here it is: If you don’t know, there’s an Easter egg in Spore where you can actually find the real life solar system inside Spore. With every planet exactly how it is in real life. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Earth. But one thing is missing… if you go onto Earth, there aren’t any humans. Not only that but the planet is specifically Tier Score 1. To me that’s kind of specific, like the devs wanted us to think about that. I mean it has everything accurate to earth, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, you name it. All of it except for the atmosphere being nearly uninhabitable and the absolute lack of humans. That can’t be a coincidence. I think the humans in the Spore universe could’ve polluted their planet and driven life on it to near extinction. After nearly killing Earth they built spaceships and genetically engineered their descendants to be smaller, that way to have lower calorie and oxygen intake to save food and oxygen for longer voyages. They made it in their nature to want to colonize as many planets as possible. They gave them higher traces of melanin and as a side effect, red skin, to be protected from the ultra violet rays of other worlds and make them be able to colonize planets faster. Do you see where I’m going with this? As wild as this may sound, I believe that the Grox are the descendants of humanity. But you may be questioning how they got towards the center of the Galaxy when the Sol system is in the middle of the cosmic arms on the galaxy. I think they might’ve passed through one of the wormholes you can encounter in the space stage, as we know these said wormholes can transfer you from one side of the Galaxy to the next. There are even some near the middle. It’s possible they fell through one of these and ended up in the middle of the galaxy where they made it their homes and with their technology, resources, and biology, were able to take over most of the systems in the center of the galaxy while losing sight of their original culture and knowledge of their origins over the eons. Just one thing is that the Grox are so overly aggressive to any and all spaceships and civilizations crossing into their territory. This may be because of their colonization-crazy nature brought on when they were made by the humans. So that’s the theory. It’s maybe not the most sound but I think it’s very interesting to think about.

I briefly knew death by proxy, he has a neat channel and it's cool seeing him basically get a shout out when I don't think even Royal Blue knows his stuff.

YES, HE MADE ANOTHER SPORE VIDEO!!!

2 years later wow. Thank Steve I subscribed.

If memory serves. The Grox like you using the Fanatical Frenzy on their planets so long as you don't directly hit a city with it.

I just rewatched part 1 yesterday.

27:10 I don't think those are Roblox models in Spore, I recall there was an entirely useless (as far as I could tell) cheat that made Spore creatures into blocks. Typing "blocksmode" in the cheat window enables/disables it. More than sure the uploader enabled blocksmode and wanted to be a little cheeky. Great video, love me some Spore content.

I'm currently listening to this while playing the game

Lets fucking GOOOO

Good video, good game. I learnt a lot from this and the previous video

9:12 Worth noting the Grox make reference to not being carbon based. So unless humans swapped out their main fundamental chemical building block in that time it seems unlikely the Grox are humans. Fun notion though. Also the downloaded Maxis adventures introduce us to three species clearly related to the Grox with the most notable being Clark and Stanley's species unofficially called Dweebles. Their relation to the Grox is more apparent when you look at the other two which look like middle grounds between the Dweebles and Grox. If you want to check for yourself the adventure where you see the relation is Welcome to Dancetopia.

thank you king

For some goofy reason in the Russian translation when you break the galactic code the game says that you 'hacked' it There are also some creatures have the same name (For an example: Lelby and Splonk have the same name in the translation)

bean is not technically the worst creature, ayug is! they have no legs and a carnivore mouth instead of an omnivore one.

a theory for the roblox spore is probably because both games use similar or the same kind of code therefore the spore creations code is compaditable with roblox

Harvesters we’re planed for the civ stage and would collect spice but the job was eventually given to vehicles.

there’s a video on spore’s cut content that talks about harvester vehicles

Fan theory about pirates: Every time you conquer a planet and destroy an empire while doing it, the ships escape your planet, and are classified as pirates when hovering your mouse over it. What if all the pirates are just rouge remnants of former space fairing empires? Unrecognized by other empires as they have no more empire to affiliate with, they just form in separate groups of former guards of their respective former empires. They just wander space and pirate planets to attempt to survive without the ability to trade to major empires, just selling their pirated spice to black markets in return for power packs and health packs. Victims of imperialism, war, religion, it doesn’t matter, these proud guards of their planets are left alone with only former heroes alike.

The grob is the grox before they became cyborgs I think I watched a lore video on it

Steve, in non-English versions, speaks Simlish, the language of the Sims, which is another Maxis franchise.

The undeletebel rock in Adventure town are found on much bigger scale in The Tempel of Spode adventure

I would argue that the Grox are not human-decendants because of the shape the Earth is in- looking at it, the continents have not shifted much or at all from their current positions. This doesn't align with the Grox's million-year empire between creature and space stages, since the tectonic platers would have moved substantially in that time.

about the half epics from the other video, a friend and i remember we saw one in our game back them but i have no evidence :(

Grob refers to the Grox. Groxes are basically cyborgs because they are half robots. If you remove the first to letters of the word cyborg you get borg. Borg backwards is Grob but the B was switched to X.

You are GODSENT. Just watched part 1 and felt nostalgic after seeing darkspore clips and want to ask comments: Does anyone have a link or info on how/where i can play darkspore offline? I plea, no, i beg. I never finished it and feel the urge to do so.(afterall my username is straight up a character from that game) So again if anyone got any info or a link please respond ;-;

also one time years ago I was casually playing spore as a social creature and I saw a rouge and I usually friend rouges because they are very useful I already had one rouge in my party so I went over to friend it then a spaceship showed up scaring is away I kept chasing after the rouge until it got glitched stuck in the water it was cowering so I couldn't friend it when the spaceship was still there so I grabbed a stick and for some reason I kept offering the stick to the rouge over and over but then the spaceship started to abduct the rouge and I kept offering the stick because for some reason that kept it in place and then I don't remember exactly what happened becuase it was so long ago but the spaceship disappeared and I got to friend the rouge but it didn't count as my party member when I added it yet it was still in my party so it just wasn't taking up a space I can't show it now because that save is on an old computer I can't use and I continued to civilization stage on it

When you make part 2 cuz you got tons of views but sequel fails miserably :(

One time I found a cube planet

pls say me how to get the tree maker from the last spore iceberg

Heyyy nice video

uhhh the UN apparently added "context" bellow the video talking about climate change

I don’t know if this is a rare thing but I recently came across a world in the space stage that is pure red like literally pure red and there is these weird formations in the ground that look like stitches almost, it makes the whole planet look really fleshy and gross almost like it’s alive

How many stars there are in the Galaxy?

3:10 remember that Ayug exists

About asymetry Theres a dodo lik creature in spore with asymetrical feathers

epic gaming

Why no one ever talks about SPORE java games, you know, for those cellphones that had buttons? I had two games, one resembling cell stage and other resembling creature stage. The cell stage one was actually pretty damn big, even featuring a bossfight if I remember correctly. I might be wrong however. Jesus I'm old...

Funn fact:the bean was obe of the first creatures i met in early creature stage,in my first spore run,i immediatly befriended it,i even made the bean empire for space stage,should i make some for civilazation,creature,tribal and call stage too?

sure took you a while

16:20 Or you can install the auto save mod.

It is Funny that you Can kommit war crimes in spore

I could not fin anything on the Sun empire glitch I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with the information😢

What do you mean? Cube planets are rare I find them all the time for some reason.

Is anything known about Wolf clan, Moose clan and Karhas?

10:22 why not just use the ROL on earth to make it habitable?

couldn't you use the way back machine to read the Sporums?

Where do you find the funny spore thing on deviantart

the game is so bad! oh yea and this game is so good!
