@Luigi3KNo, I kinda have been getting used to living and don’t plan on dying just yet. And I’m pretty sure most humans are in similar scenarios.

@@turmuthoer All this for a space highway?

You mean no mans sky?

@@spaceclaw1958 No, I don't. That doesn't even come close to what I want.

i think spore’s creature creation and planetary exploration mixed with stellaris’s ideology system, galactic politics and events would be great, maybe a dash of no man’s sky too

@@spaceclaw1958 not really close at all, no man's sky has no phases other than space. spore's success is greatly indebted to its creature phase, creature maker and general creation tools

@@taurelith4867 my favourite part of spore is the progression from single cell organism to a stellar civilization. I would love if spore and Stellaris made some sort of lovechild

Okay but the innocent people and animals all died.

@@botondzoltannagy8849 okay but climate change doesn’t discriminate through innocent or evil

Is that a quote from somewhere?

@@techpriestsalok8119 When a warrior empire declares war on you, they’ll say “Don’t take this personally, if it wasn’t me destroying you, it be someone else.”

@@botondzoltannagy8849 It really makes no difference. Besides the term innocent and guilty are artifical and used solely in legal terms. Not to mention this is a game...

Great idea! I've attempted it so many times to no avail

@@AspienPadda You need a lot of luck for it tbh - kiting with spit will form the bulk of your strategy, but even that can fail if you backpedal into an unfriendly nest. Otherwise there's often an epic that will spawn near one of your later migration nests, and if you can lure it there the extra members of your species + your packmates should keep it busy enough to whittle down. Even if you die, if it's close enough I think you respawn without resetting its HP so if nothing else you can just throw yourself at it until it dies.

@@perrytran9504 Does using charge stun epics? Because if it does I think combined with using spit and throwing your clanmates at it that'd be decently effective.

@@lonniex866 No it doesn't. And epics oneshot you with their regular attacks so you don't want to get in close unless there's a whole nest attacking them (I've noticed this just makes them keep roaring instead of fighting back for some reason.) Either way I forgot another thing which makes this hard: you get hungry and epics take a long time to kill. If you're a carnivore you won't even be able to grab a quick bite without getting into another fight.

@@perrytran9504 Right, haven't played the game in a while and I rarely ever see epics now. Is there any way of counteracting the hunger as a carnivore or no?

Spore isn't so much deep as it is denser than tungsten. There are thousands of star systems and thousands of planets, and it would take months of casual play to conquer the outer rim alone, let alone the Grox.

@@cewla3348 oh hell yeah

They will occasionally call you up to complain about being overworked.

Sorry for the late response, I did more research on the colonies and found they actually do still protest if they are unhappy, even on Easy difficulty. Colonies protesting can take a very long time to occur, but when they do the colony stops all spice production until the colony gains happiness from entertainments. This is different than Civilization Stage where citizens cut production in half pretty quickly. Apologies for getting this wrong in the video, it likely won't impact the speedrun but will probably occur in long casual games. Edit: More research later, saving and quitting then reload the game will actually make them start producing spice again! They can protest again and have 2 objective markers on the planet and stop production a second time, but saving and quitting will make the colony produce spice once again!

Me too. Spore is one of my favorite games and it makes me sad we've never really had a game like it ever again

Im yet to see a Destroy the Universe Longrun

I heard stories about players destroying whole universe with modded weapons. Probably some kind of overbuffed planet buster.

@@cewla3348 That... would technically do it I suppose.

@@cewla3348 cost: 0 ability: break your computer

Yo! almost the opposite happened for me, I love space stage too. I was doing the same thing - playing a trader race that allied with the other traders, and a small new race was going to war with one of my two big allies {literally bigger than my colony lol}, so i went to war and was thinking i would take the planet since i started the conflict of that war and accidentally attacked the cities when they were taken over by my ally lmao.

for me i would get mad considering all the planets i could have colonized so i would try to trap them with my territory and trade them into oblivion

Actually there are some notifications of revolts in colonies when their cities are too unhappy. I recall receiving something like that. But this tends to happen rarely and far more time into the game.

This notification occurs on the oldest version of the game when the city is unhappy. The game will treat the planet like it is under attack, so we couldn't trade with the planet, but they do still produce spice which can be collected. However, this appears to have been removed in the latest version which I was playing. I no longer got this message on the latest version :)

@@KinglyValence Thanks for the explanation. I've always played Spore on a DVD version, which could probably not have the latest patch applied. What an amazing game tbh. I never stop to learn something new about it. :)

@@user-cs8xi9yq4t there is also a contruction that you can put in the colony, the description say that will keep the planet loyal to you, its like that upgrade the amount of spice a colony can have

Why would you want to abuse glitches? That takes the fun out of playing the game

@@teun911 I mean sure it can. But if you are trying to test things out or achievement hunt it may not be as enjoyable to sit there for 7 hours getting the necessary cash to do the things. It gets worse if you have a time consuming job which further limits your available play time. In cases like that, an occasional exploit to speed things along in a game you have already beaten multiple times so you can try something new isnt so bad.

There's countless many things I didn't know when I played it myself, never got to finish it for some reason

There's 5 stages. Starting at single cell life and ending at this.

@@safeforwork8546 yeah i've only seen the micro organisms up to the like. "Primitive" planet life. Guess I should have realized it'd go farther

Yeah I just realized he heavily favors green in tribe and civ stage since they're faster (and more foolproof) but it could be neat to see what "speedrunning" would look like for red.

@@perrytran9504 pure blue could also be interesting as for the first three stages it would be a bit of a balancing act

I basically always went pure blue anyways

@@perrytran9504 Now that I think about it I've never seen a run done purely with aggressive stats... probably because gracious greeter is too precious of an ability to lose once you hit space stage.

@@lonniex866 As a kid I didn't even pay attention to those traits so I almost always went pure red lol

unlock all parts speedrun

Thank you! I haven't done an all aggressive Tribal Stage yet, but that's definitely worth looking into!

Where do the giant worms fit into the picture?

That's interesting, I'll try that out! Thanks for letting me know the original comment as well :)

Apologies for the delayed response, I gave it a try and using Planet Buster or placing a Colony on a New Game planet in the galaxy that has not been played on yet will just remove the New Game from main menu screen and it will be replaced with another New Game, very similarly to if a save had occurred on that planet. I was hoping we could see a space colony during Creature Stage haha, but it looks like Spore accounted for this possibility.

Thank you so much! :D Yes, I played Magic for years during High school, I loved it! I always thought Nicol Bolas was the coolest artwork of the cards I had at the time.

@@KinglyValence I don't have a Nicol Bolas card, but I do think that it's one of, if not the coolest artworks on the cards to date.

That works! I did not know that, thank you! That would have saved about 50 seconds to this run. I love learning about optimizations, and this really changes how I thought the start of Space Stage works!

@@KinglyValence glad I could help 👍

you cant use anything while on the home planet from another save

You cant really interact with other saves. But i wonder if you could mess them over by detroying their allies?

In the start of the colonizing mission I'm assuming you get a Colony Incredipak or whatever it's called. Keep looking throughout your inventory categories, you should find it in like a purple thingy. After that go to a random planet of your choice (but I recommend going to planets with a t-score of at least T1), equip it, click on the planet (while you're on it), and woah, thing go city.

That doesn't work for the Staff of Life. I think it only works for the archetype abilities.

@@KinglyValence Ah, dang.

Time to sell that to some dumb aliens in space for 78,000$

Species can be uplifted and i think therefore can go to the space stage by themselves, so maybe the game will generate new empires from preexisting pre-space civilizations? You can theoretically kill everyone though, and bring every planet's t-score to 0 preventing any theoretical life from popping up, and the game only simulates in a 10 parsec radius, likely not including your systems. Basically you can probably kill everyone.

Locally stored achievements are located in the ".pollination" file. Access this by finding the Roaming files (type %appdata% into Windows) and find the Spore folder. Delete the .pollination and this will reset the achievements. This also contains downloaded creations so those would be removed too.

@@KinglyValence Thank you so much man
