The Official Spore Thread

[Fourjays Veteran]

I've only had one crash. Was trying to add an antenna thing to the nose-cone of a jet plane... it sort of decided to attach it while saying "sell for" at the same time. Then it completely froze up.

Not unusual these days for everyone to have exactly the same problems with a game. The crashes for Spore seem to be fairly random and isolated issues though.

Well that is something. Wonder if I will ever get any issues. Let's hope not.

this person wants you to ban spore

I created this blog to find support for and follow my progress in letting Electronic Arts know that their biggest attack on Christian values to date will not be tolerated.

We can not allow the gaming industry to invade our homes and poison the minds of our children.

After all, their billions in revenue and all the advertising in the world are no match for the power of God.

GOD DAMMIT WE'VE ALL BEEN RICKROLLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.

?21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: ?Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhoAnd never gonna give you up.

22. ?Never gonna let you down.?

23.?Never gonna run around and desert you.?

24. ?Never gonna make you cry.?

25. ?Never gonna say goodbye.?

26. ?Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.?lie and hurt you.?

27.?Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe?s Law.?

It?s these teachings that I?ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today.

[Sethos]

Nah, you've been rick-rolled, we didn't click :ninja: :p

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

there should be a thread where people can post their creations

would let each of us know if we run across a creation that another neowinian created

[Emorex]

So the game crashed on me twice yesterday...at the same spot (when loading the creature stage). I don't know what else to do anymore.

[Fourjays Veteran]

Have you got through to the creature stage successfully at all yet? Did you try anything odd with a creature, when it crashed the first time? Is it just one species? Have you tried getting through with another species?

[Massiveterra]

The game crashes on me about every hour or hour and a half into playing. I save frequently. This got frustrating during the space tutorial because it doesn't allow you to save through the tutorial. Thus, no more Enterprise. I did build a Lambda-Class Star Wars ship, so Iam happy with that.

Ok, so Andrew what is your full name?? I didn't get it :(

fourjays I am going to add you, hope you don't mind ;) I'll do it later cause I'm at work now...

My game has been rather crashy too. I agree it sucks that it does autosave everyonce in while because one time it crashed during the video leading into the tribal stage...so I had to replay a bunch of the creature stage which blew...I did install some new drivers for my video card and so far it seems less crashy (as in it hasn't happened since...).

I'll try to post some pics of my little characters! :)

[Minifig]

there should be a thread where people can post their creations

What do you think this thread is for?

His full name is AndrewDBarker.

And yea, this thread if def for showing stuff and chating about Spore, why have another thread.

[Googintosh]

During the Space stage I find scouring a planets surface for a particular animal or artifact very tedious. The only help is the frequency at which the radar beeps and the narrow scope of the scanning tool. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to go about doing this?

Also, during the space stage how does one acquire a fleet of the same ship? When in war with another civilization they have about 6 space ships where as I only have one and a another from a trading partner civilization. I'd rather have two or three of my own ship.

Thanks in advance for anyone who answers my questions.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

for people to talk about it regarding problems, hints/tips.

but this thread is not a dedicated thread regarding creations only, aka swimming through 26 pages so far with little images of what people have created is not here that i have seen

What do you think this thread is for?

[bolerodan]

Anyone else having a hard time trying to get a large enough territory in the space age?

I find i jsut dont have enough money at any given time to grow my empire, or to defend my colonies from attacks that can hold 8-12 ships ALL AT ONCE.. and sometimes more than one planet at a time, at a frequent 10-15minute interval, making it hard to get a decent amount of Cash, due to the fact that you have to babysit every planet

any tips for the space age?

[Massiveterra]

The space stage is starting to bore me. I think I want to start a new planet soon.

I don't get it. Can someone explain to me the premise of this game? "Massively Singleplayer Online Game" doesn't make any sense. And I looked at their site but that doesn't help much either.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

you create a creature from primordial ooze , then evolve it to a space faring race, during its time, it may come across other creatures people have crated ( the online part )

Yea I sorta slowed down with Spore once I hit the Space stage, haven't played much of it at all.

Of course I will finish that stage at least once. Thought everyone told me the space stage was the best part, I guess not.

Finish the space stage? I don't think that happens really

Did anyone else notice PC Gaming has been changed to Computer Gaming, guess it's because of Spore and the more games going to Mac. Isn't mac still a PC, so why the change?

[Brad.]

Got the game today and I'm absolutely loving it :D

[Shadrack]

Are there clear objectives in the game or is it 100% sandbox?
