What do Crop Circles do?

The green notes mean they are agreeeing with you. Keep at an opposing empire and eventually the citizens will love you and the cities won't fight when you go to capture them (or convert if you are relegious and have the tools)

is that really what happens? I use it for abduction/eradication missions. that way i can get them all in one place to abduct/shoot them

what happens if you put a crop circle to already in space empire???

i guess they'll get mad.

I use them to get the creatures out of the city then steal the spice

Howdy folks. I have played the space stage for quite a few hours, but I have yet to see where I can "Holo" down to a planet. Is this a bought skill or something you can do from the start? If you can do it from the start please inform this noob of how you do it.

Scorched Earth works amazingly well, but I assume you're talking about the less literal definition. If you bomb all the tribes somehow the planet is still claimed by them. However, if you melt a planet and extinct every species on it, including the sentients (down to T0), then they are gone and the system can be yours.

Terraforming is as much a weapon as a tool

Use it on the Grox
T1 makes them go night night
Forever

You have to buy the Hologram scout after you unlock it (you need either the Missionista 5 or the Trader 5 badge).

Just a tip, if you change your detail settings (up or down in anything) your hologram will be as speedy as your creature was in the creature phase rather than the default slow/clunky.

So that's what caused hologram resizing!

Thanks for the tip. Now that I know how it works, I'll be sure to switch whenever I go exploring.

CROP CIRCLES DON'T DO ANYTHING. see signature for reason why.

THE ONLY THIBF THAT THE CROP CIRCLES DO, is attract more creatures

Bombing the villages doesn't work? I've done it a few times and it seemed to work.

i thnk crop circles just lure the speices to it so can steal them of thier stuff.i use it to steal from the grox and lure other nations people to it to use the super-happy ray on them.
