The Official Spore Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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?

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! :)

His full name is AndrewDBarker.

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

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.

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?

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?

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 )

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.

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

    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
