How I Beat Spore with the Shortest Timeline

3:22 I noticed that creatures almost never evolve as long as you've changed relationship with them (for example they had a yellow face and you befriended 2 creatures and they have a blue face now)

[@KinglyValence]

That would make sense that once we interact with a creature they are locked in, good point! I'll test that out some more as well.

[@karpai5427]

Yeah. Very depressing to see those tiny pathetic worms that I have allied. I usually extinct pittyful creatures and only start friendship with bigger creatures.

[@Slimeade]

So this is just a guess, but I think the reason why those creatures never cocooned is that you interacted with them. I've personally never seen a creature cocoon and evolve after impressing/killing one member of the nest and I think it's to prevent the creature from evolving and making the objective impossible to finish

[@KinglyValence]

That makes sense the creatures would be locked in after interacting with them. I'll try researching this a bit more and letting them hatch their eggs and even try leaving and reloading the area as well to see if maybe they'll evolve.

[@sonnitude]

I feel like I said this before, but I still would love to someday see a “all badges” run of space stage. I swear I heard of a glitch where you could ally the grox, then wipe them out to get both badges related to them in particular.

[@bdura2021]

Spore 100%, YES please

[@MagicGonads]

with the caveat that the jester badge must be the last badge

[@alnoso]

would you even need a glitch to get both grox badges though? there's nothing stopping you from destroying an empire you've previously allied, so i assume you could get both badges without glitches. you'd need to cheat anyway to get the jester badge, so maybe this wouldn't take hundreds of hours if you used cheats to kill the grox quickly.

[@cadencenavigator958]

@@alnoso but once you get the joker badge you can't get other badges, so you have to do it in a way the game recognizes as legit

[@limonbattery]

@@alnoso I can't see a Grox kill being quick even with cheats. At best he has something like fanatical frenzy or gravitation wave and keeps refreshing the cooldown. But he's still going to have to visit each of the ~5k planets manually and most likely that will be too tedious to do in one sitting. The real killer though is the badges for discovering galactic formations or storybook planets. There isn't a way to cheat that really so even if he wastes hours killing the grox he needs to check individual planets in the downtime to fill up those badges.

[@Bigzthegreat]

holy crap, i didn't expect you to optimize it this much... cell and creature stage are already the most optimized they can be, and tribal, civilization, and space stage all seem very well optimized

[@alwayschill4522]

i absolutely love your spore challenge videos keep making them forever please

[@thegoldenaquarius96]

Would be funny is after evolving for only 2 billion of years you'd find yourself alone in the whole galaxy and prevented the grox from ever existing 😂

[@PineappleDealer37]

I found a CD of spore at my grandparents attic, and I must say your channel had been a blast to learn about all the stuff in this game. It shocks me that this was made all the way back in the 2008. The editors of character and vehicles are something a lot of modern games should learn from.

[@eenayeah]

I just love this channel. It feels cozy. Makes me wanna play Spore again.

[@BierBart12]

Woah, I learned something new today. I had no idea that you could eat eggs for DNA This seems like something you should discover pretty early, no idea how I missed it for so many hundreds of hours. Just kicked the eggs into the ocean for fun

[@Otacanthus]

I really appreciate showing off the "from scratch/no help from other saves" timeline. I think that'd be a cool video too with all the setup, but this is perfectly to the point and just nice.

[@faridconde6591]

I remember having won civ stage after losing all my cities by one. Basically, I had an ally and was at war with another nation who ended up defeating me repeatedly. My ally, however, had the resources and time to beat the sht out of our enemy. At the end, the enemy surrendered (if I remember correctly) and my ally offered me the merge. I believe this can be replicated for the civ stage timeline to be shorter.

[@amikwu]

this game is insanely nostalgic to me. thank u for keeping it alive 💖

[@Kikabopom]

i wonder how much help you can get from other saves, you mentioned clearing a path thru the grox and removing all the possible tribal spawns, is anything else possible? how much of a headstart can you give yourself?

[@KinglyValence]

There's a couple more applications for using terrain tools on a home planet, including only allowing 4 total cities to spawn in Civilization Stage by covering the planet with land like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5jcqHqDZdp4gsk For a head start we can place spice collected from one saved game and place it on planet in the star system of another game to gather spice for free in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g56pZ6iIesyLmpY It's theoretically possible to make a planet where both 1 rival tribe spawns and also only 4 cities spawn but we haven't been able to optimize it fully, but this video shows a video getting 1 tribe but 8 city spawns :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqO1hoRomcp5opo

[@JarenTilford]

This is very cool

[@J_J17]

can you please post video with full gameplay of this walthground?

[@MagicGonads]

What if we consider the end of the game to be maximum captain rank instead of the center of the galaxy? In both the normal speedrun context and this fastest badges to grind for captain XP fewest civilisations met for badges? does it deepend on Galactic Adventures DLC?

[@gamingmoth4542]

Now I'm curious, what's the shortest time you can get from a number of years perspective?

[@KinglyValence]

Likely the Cell Stage speedrun of 3min5sec would have the least amount of years, since the other Stages don't contribute towards the years as much as Cell Stage, getting out of Cell with the least years I think would give the least total by Space :)

[@Vaerlayn]

This is pretty cool. I loved Spore as a kid, and just wish it were more stable to play. Every time I've tried recently it crashes a LOT

I got one of the videos recommended recently and it was lovely! Got me back into playing Spore. I'm just wondering how you get such good FPS on it? I recently got a new laptop, but it has weird FPS drops sometimes, mostly just the save selection menu.

[@KinglyValence]

Thank you! Spore is locked to 30fps (mouse is recorded in 60 in the videos) but it is possible to raise the game's frame rate. I use a pretty decent graphics card on my tower to play and record with so maybe that helps. Maybe try lowering the in-game settings? I usually play on medium/low anyway lol, some of the visuals I find too distracting to show what's happening clearly.

[@MusicComet]

@@KinglyValence Thanks for the reply! I looked around the internet a bit afterwards, but having a confirmation is really nice. I wasn't able to really find anything besides the fact that the game is in-fact just not made for better laptops lol. At least it's still very fun to play :)

There is a mod called "No grox" where the Grox only have 1 solar system and to make that mod work you need to reset the Galaxy by deleting the Spore folder which is located in ...\AppData\Roaming\SPORE

[@StarlitWitchy]

[@shr4pnel]

amazing vid as always! i know logistically this would be stupid and long but i'd love to see a destroying the grox speedrun. could you use terraforming tools to destroy their planets? can they survive on t1+?

[@KinglyValence]

Thank you! Yep, increasing the terra score to 1+ will destroy the Grox colonies. We can also use Volcanos directly on their cities to destroy them too for cheap bombs lol :)

[@camagician]

Hey Kingly, I've been wondering something and considering your insight into the game I thought you might know. It's a bit specific, but is Green Keeper needed to prevent eco-disasters altogether in Space Stage if you're already using Bio-Stabiliser and Bio-Protector?

[@KinglyValence]

I'm not sure exactly how it works, I think the Green Keeper and Colony tools will stack their effects and make it very unlikely that bio-disasters occur, but not entirely sure, sorry.
