So far I have found 2 glitches in Spore. The first one is quite annoying. If you are placing a colony on a planet make sure you actually have the planet targeted otherwise the shot will miss the planet and trap you there. The second glitch has to do with placing the volcano while terraforming. If you are too close to the ground where you are placing the volcano the volcano will trap your ship inside of it and completely crash your game back to the desktop. If you have found any other glitches post them here so others do not lose hours of game play as I have.

This has only happened once, but I tink its a bug, when I was in creature stage, I had 3 pack members. (2 of them were rouge.) I pressed the little X button to get rid of the creature that wasn't a rouge and nothing happened. the little guy wasn't following me anymore, but it still said he was with me, and I couldn't recruit anyone else.

The second this I've noticed is when I went to the center of the galaxy, got the item and thought I could just teleport home on a Grox planet. Well, I went to a grow planet and pressed the Home Ticket (avialable if your a shaman) but before it could properly activate the Grox killed me. So when I was 'resserected' I couldn't travel outside the planet, I couldn't do anything. There were no options for me to leave. All my items and weapons and everything was greyed out. There was nothing I could do about it.

Thats all I've noticed so far.

I found a glitch in my game after installing the patch. Now I cant use the laser (because it doesnt work) now i cannot find any wild creatures on any starsystems. and nearly all of my planets are in some form of ecological disaster that i cant fix because i cant see the infected animals just the outline.

I have found a very annoying glitch, where a planet has an ecological disaster, I try to get there, and when the clock hits 3:27, my game shuts down and tells me to send an error report.

After playing for a few minutes, my game now freezes and then totally reboots the system. This is very annoying as I have to save every thirty seconds or fear losing my progress.

This is super obvious, but in cell stage if you have electric and you complete the cell stage you have the electric marks stay there. Another not so obvious is when you fly around a planet at top speed, you click abduct and throw out trees and the trees will orbit around the planet until you leave the planet

Sorry, I hadn't seen this topic earlier.

You see, as I played around with Spore in Space Stage, I wondered about swimming using a 'glitch' with the Holo Scout.


This was me playing with the local Epic...thing. We had fun; I got tossed a few hundred yards. We laughed, I cried...the usual. You'll notice that the Epic, I lured it into the lake I terraformed previously, 'walks' underwater.


Then I went to another planet and viewed the quaint docks of the Civ Stage world. Soon after, I was pulled by an enormously powerful current. I swam a little, and it stopped. I ignored it, thinking it was my imagination.

Then I experimented by terraforming a rocky world into a molten nightmare.

At lava's edge.
After leveling the world completely, I took the plunge.
In lava.

Now...here's where the current appeared, once more, and I let it take me. I thought it would take me around the planet, but...here's where I encountered the 'Flying Chieftain' glitch.

I was launched out into space, I take it.


Here's where I flew into the star.




Anyway, I solved it by simply beaming back into the ship. It would've been impossible to leave the planet, otherwise.

For the Maxis staff to mull over; when I left the world I worked so hard on to level...the changes were not saved.

When I returned to the planet, I found it had reset its terrain, and now islands had reappeared as if by magic on the planet.

Needless to say, I was rather upset.

Oh my God!! that happens to me all the time I installed the Creepy and Cute parts with the patch it worked all day and night and than when I tried to terraform on a planet it froze and just restarted too!!

for some reason none of the creature related creators don't load the last layer of graphics in paint job and test drive mode, and in construction mode every time i mouse-over my creature the body "shatters" and the main body disappears and is replaced by these strange lines connecting random parts of the body together

I started a new game (in cell stage) on a planet that had a relatively large amount of water and when I got to the creature stage my home nest was in water. I thought oh no big deal infact this is pretty cool (for the obvious reason that a huge monster eats you if you go in water). but then I realized that every time I tried to go on land the huge monster thing ate me so now i'm stuck swimming around not being able to eat or advance further on any help on what to do?

just dont fix the creature creator glitches. they make life fun

You can walk through the roots of trees...

Grr. I just got a lovely little glitch. I was going through my very first run on my brother's game, got all the way up to 'Civilization' from the beginning, and, after creating a rather cool little town hall, the game went to the cut screen where the Chief and the people are all standing in front of the new building, and then just stayed there. The people still moved in their little swaying movements, and the environment even progressed from night to day, but the cut screen never moved on. *kicks computer*

Luckily I'm wary of cmputer crashes, so I save on a semi-regular basis and didn't lose too much time, but it's still very annoying.

That's why you don't see many people with the Galactic God acheivement... -_-
