Wow, the Earth! I wonder is there any creatures on that planet?

I was eagerly awaiting the release of Spore, but after I heard about the ludicrous DRM I lost all enthusiasm.

I got to space age! It's not as fun as I expected to be; you can only control one ship, "wtf?". Your space ship is so over powered... he can kill a whole planet by himself? when there are like 40 enemy ships shooting at you!!!

I also wish you could still play as if in Civ stage while in space age.. And the game is very slow without cheats, who can afford to sell spice for hours just to get a 100k??

Don't worry. Once you got some T3 terraformed pink spice planets with colonies filled with factories your cash starts rolling in. Then you could easily collect millions of sporebucks without problem.

I think that creating things is more fun than the actual game. But it's still fun to try to get all of those achievements (which you can't do if you use cheats). I think it's a great game :thup:

I haven't, but some dude found it and posted how to get there, never bothered to go there, yet. :)


How to find earth
This is a far better link to a way to find the Earth. I actually found it just now using this video; try it yourself ;)

Some stuff about Earth and its star system:
  • The star system is called Sol
  • All of the planets have yellow spice (at least for me)
  • Jupiter and Saturn can't be colonized, but their moons can
  • The name of the achievement you complete from finding Earth is called Manifest Destiny
  • The terrain on all of the planets is accurate (especially Earth)
  • None of the planets are colonized
  • Earth is at T1, but still needs more life to be stabilized
  • Pluto is not in Sol
  • Neptune and Uranus are not colonizable

Some pictures:

You can look at all of my creatures, vehicles, and buildings if you follow the link from my signature. Once you get to the thread, look at the top, under Knight7770's Creations; you should find a link to my Sporepedia page. I will be updating that thread more often now that I have played with Spore enough to have a good opinion about it.

What are these treasures and quests of which you speak? You only get Sporebucks for doing missions.

Sorry I meant artifact, it's for the quest when you tell the guy you want to explore the universe.

Btw here is my Sporepedia Page.
Just look for any planet with yellow semi-circle type things coming off of it. You can see them when you enter the star system. The yellow circles can mean there's an artifact or a planet-shaping/coloring tool on the planet, or it's a pirate attack (really easy to defeat). Do some searching ;)

Did you still get the achievement? I'm having some trouble getting that one; I think I need to lure it to my nest.
Right now, I'm working on getting the secret achievements, like Dance with the Devil, Sluggator, Cerberus, Fear of Flying, and others. ;)

Yeah I got the achievement.

This is what I recommend you to do, you will need:

-Speed - Level 4 or 5
-Sprint - Above level 3
-Sneak - Useful for getting away if something goes wrong, but not required
-Spit - The higher level the better
-You must be Omnivore or Herbivore

Step 1. Get an epic that can't fly to follow you.

Step 2. Sprint ahead and run behind a tree with food (if it dosen't have food you'll just starve while attacking it :p) like this:

Green = Tree
Blue = You
Red = Epic

Step 3. If the epic just stands there on the opposite side of the tree from you, your good to go. Just spit on him and keep spitting until he dies.
If he's not standing on the opposite tree, repeat steps 2-3.

Yes - this can take awhile, if you would like to speed this up here's what you can do:

You Need:
-Sneak - High level recommended
-Speed - Level 4 or 5

Step 1. Find 2 ground epics, memorize there general location.

Step 2. Go to one of the epics and make it chase you, lure it to the other epic.

Step 3. Once you get to the other epic go into Sneak, the epics will be confused for a moment then will fight each other.

Step 4. Run 10-20 feet away to watch.

Step 5. Let the epics kill each other, then the last epic will only have about 100 health.

Step 6. Go to the earlier stated strategy to kill the last one

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
