[b]1.[/b] Choose a blank save and pick the space stage. Fly around near your homesystem and write down/memorize the arm location and surrounding solar systems. Then quit without saving.

[b]2.[/b] Load another save at the space stage, one with at least Interstellar Drive 4 and a few terraforming and planet editor tools. Fly to the location in the correct arm and look for any familiar solar systems until you find the right one.

[b]3.[/b] Terraform it up and save, go to the galaxy screen, and begin on your newly-refurbished homeworld!

And that's all you need to do to change the surface. Changing trees, however, is more risky. You will have to terraform the planet to T0 and then back to T3, which [b][u][i]may[/i][/u][/b] cause glitches. You can put random creatures down, because it's not going to matter in the creature stage.

You can do this to the surrounding planets and moons, too. It's even possible to Planetbust them, although I definitely don't recommend doing that.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514730.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514730.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514746.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514746.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514755.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514755.page GMT As a test, of course.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514758.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2514758.page GMT

But what happens when you do it though? [/quote]If you blow up that moon with the spaceship, you won't be able to advance past the beginning of the space stage.

1 - You can connect up the continents, but this will result in glitchyness during civ (only 4 cities appear, but each capture results in a quarter of the entire progress bar being filled up, so you'll still be avle to finish)

2 - You find the location by starting a space stage gem (as stated in OP), hover over the little spaceship icon, note down the numbers that apear (angle, distance...), quit WITHOUT saving, load up another empire, fly over there, scult and colour to taste, go back to main menu, start new game.

No. The system name matters, not the planets.

In due time..... Everyone is not interested in the same things at the same time.

I have reinstalled many times and for once I am finally able to progress far enough to consider such things as this. I don't know that I will do this but it is still very interesting and helpful. My game still glitches a lot and I have a hard time getting it to hold much terraforming so this may seem pointless at the moment for many.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2520011.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/2520011.page GMT

I started out playing with this trick only a few days ago and I started to get the planet the way I liked and then it reverted. At first I thought it was a glitch but now I realize it might not have been.

Also, make sure you do all your terraforming rather fast because if you do fly around in that general area and another empire decides to colonize the savegame-planet, the save spot is lost and you will have to restart on another starsystem.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3083172.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3083172.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3209456.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3209456.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308202.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308202.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308437.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308437.page GMT ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308566.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/60498/3308566.page GMT

I've had that glitch! It's weird. I didn't delete it, I just stopped playing that planet and kept it around to laugh at.
