Having a Grox ship in your fleet is like having the powers of God with you.
You can trade with the Grox and buy their planets, thus having the ability to construct Grox buildings when you buy the planet, since you will have a grox city now. You can build with non-ascessible items in a sense.

Its also possilbe to have even better relations with the Grox, supposedly if you have a very long alliance with them.
This hasnt been fully proved yet though.

I got my Grox-allied Super-Empire (which is slowly buying their systems from the Galaxy Core out, including the Core-nearest "original" Grox homeworld) allied with another nearby Saved Game, and its ships are as well-protected as Grox ones, and haven't died yet.

If anyone has gotten "we value your friendship" from the The Grox Empire, please tell this fabulous guide creator.

I dont get it.

Okay, well, I'm gonna dump the Rex Empire and start a new one called the Aliacs. It's already in progress! I allied with The Grox, but, since SPORE doesn't have autosave, I LOST ALL MY PROGRESS !

Good job on the thread. Too bad it's of no use to me now XD The Grox are at about -580 with me. But yeah, good job nonetheless.

While allies with the Grox, can you make a round trip from your homeworld, the center of the galaxy, and back?

Yes.

Apparently there is a mod or something dealing with the unreachable Grox worlds, y'all might want to look into that in the Spore General Discussion forums.

lol! thanks. i whant to alliy with them.

I suppose the Grox might have a "We value your friendship" modifier if your empire was eventually equal in size to or bigger than their own. This would, of course, mean that you had been buying out their systems and so have a SERIOUSLY big empire...

Or just surround their Empire and squeeze the moneys from them, lol.

Is it accually worth making the entire galaxy hate you for just one ally?

It's not just one ally. It's the Grox, who can be so much of a pain to get around that it's just better to get the Grox worlds and then start taking over other worlds to create a gigantic empire.

I allied them yesterday, with help from this guide. Thanks for that!
So, with the official Maxis-mod in place, I reached the Galaxy's core like it was a walk in the park

However...In another save game, I got to the core the hard way and uplifted a bunch of worlds there, and provided them with quit some room for expansion. so now, there where about 10 Non-Grox empires around the core, obviously all at war with me for allying the Grox.
When I flew into the core, THEY ALL FOLLOWED ME, GUNS BLAZING!!!
Luckily, not trough the "wormhole" to meet Steve.. My Grox buddy did though.
When we came out, they where all gone and I went off (cheers for Return Ticket) back home to repair relations with the empires surrounding my homeworld

This way, I found out that you're far better off at war with a former ally than orange faced. At war, you give 'em 3mil and 100k and you're back in the green again most of the time. If they are orange faced, you need to do missions, money giving, terraforming, ambassy placing , happy raying etc.
