Big Newbie Helper Psuedo Frog wrote: The short answer to that is, "Never". As with anything creative if you ever stop feeling that there is something that you still can learn then at that point you lose your creativity. There will always be things that you do not know. Asking about something you do not know, no matter how simple or obvious it may seem to others, does not display stupidity, rather it displays wisdom and a willingness to learn and advance. Remember, the person who never asks a question never learns a thing. Be a newb, stay a newb, and be proud of being a newb, I know, I still am and I'm proud of it.

Hope this helps

I can give you the hack to play as them, if you want (and I mean in any stage-even cell!).

Easy (sort of):
1.) First, download a Grox .png from somewhere (save it to your desktop).
2.) Download Tsearch or Cheat Engine (Google is your friend for this).
3.) Download Spore Hack.
4.) Start up Spore in windowed mode and open Spore Hack.
5.) Go into the creature editor, and drag the .png from your desktop into the editor. It should load without any problems.
6.) Click on Options in Spore Hack, and choose force-save (and maybe force-load, just to be safe).
7.) Save it.
8.) Now, go here and follow the guide, just to step 7.
9.) Go into the creature editor, and freeze the value.
10.) This guide will tell you how to pick what you play with in the cell stage, remember to choose Create Your Own.
11.) Go into the My Spore Creations folder, and choose The Grox from the Creatures folder.
12.) Drag it into the cell editor, and it will load!
13.) Put on flaggella, mouths, and eyes so that your cell can actually be used.

You'll have to start over at brain level zero, but you keep all the parts you had. From what I understand, evoadvantage does not interfere with getting achievements.

an example: grox site:forum.spore.com

often times the search features built into forums don't work as well as we'd like. google isn't going to find things that have been posted very recently because it only searches what was there last time it looked.

ChaosHarbinger wrote:Archetypes are the general type of society that is formed by your actions during the first four stages of playing Spore. Very aggressive play through at least three stages leads to a Warrior Archetype, which in NPC empires is a very aggressive and hostile AI personality that gives you a 50% discount on weapons if you manage to trade with them; very peaceful play through at least three stages leads to a Shaman Archetype, which in NPC empires is a very relaxed and casual AI personality that gives you a 50% discount on many colonisation tools and is really easy to ally with.

That sort of thing.

Actually, they are not ChaosHarbinger, this is a misnomer bought about mostly by Planetking's excellent Archetype Guide in the Spore Hints and Strategy section of the Sporum. Misnomer or not, if you haven't read it then you should, it will enable you to get to the space stage and play whichever, "life philosophy", "guild", "profession" (Trader, Bard, Zealot... etc) you want.

The term 'Archetype' is actually used within Spore, correctly, not as a misnomer, to define the prototypes of all the necessary creature stages needed to fill out the food web in the creature stage. As your Spore game progresses through the creature stage new elements of the food web are filled as needed (this is why you only meet tiny creatures that can only sing very badly when you first leave the pool).

When the creature stage needs a new archetype for the food web then Spore first looks amongst your 'prefered' creations for a critter conforming to the correct prototype, or archetype. If it cannot find one then it uses a Maxis creation that does conform. Most of us do not buld a library of critters containing all (or even most) of the required Archetypes and that is why we see so many Maxis critters in our early games. http://www.spore.com/comm/tutorials/archetypes to check it out.

It's a combination of "Spore" and "God".

The second looks like a park with a rainbow. At least, that is how I would describe it.

Depends on what editor you are in. Creature editor is very strict. If you add one part over the limit it will not share. If it doesn't go back and edit it. make a small change, probably taking a part off and then try and share it again. The other editors, especially the building editor will allow you some breathing room. Basically it's guess and check. Save the creation, share it, if it comes up "deleted from the server" edit it take a part off and try to share it again. but there is a way around all that. i have a few creations that are on the pedia that are dumbded down versions of super complex creations that. Like these:



You can drag and drop both of those into your game but the second one is unusable in game because he is over the complexity limit. To do this go to an image hosting site like photobucket or imageshack, choose to upload a picture from you hard drive and go to My Documents>My Spore Creations> what ever the creation is and find the creation. Once you upload it there you can post it just like a normal image and people will be able to drag and drop them into their games. The Museum of Spore Art is an excellent place to post your over the limit creations.
