Playing Spore as an Actual Plant

[@quazar5017]

I'm kinda disappointed you didn't leave the game running for a couple hours without moving the mouse until you randomly encountered enough food to proceed. You know, like a plant.

If you’re talking about algae then they technically aren’t plants. At least phylogenetically. Unless I’m getting someone wrong. And maybe there are single celled plants. I haven’t looked much into that specifically

Plants are actually omnivores, they "eat" anything, they eat meat, and plants, plants know what you did, don't trust that little cactus near the bathroom window.

[@gaymohammed3137]

That's why I only have plants in the living room and kitchen. They are losers that saw nothing

[@pixelbee42314]

6:58 That plant is called Peat Moss, and it uses it's "jets" to launch it's spores. I also learned about it from game theory.

[@The_Darke_Lorde]

Wasn't it the creeper video? How creepers are just giant peat moss creatures that blow up to either use your exposed carcass as fertilizer or use you as a spore vessel?

[@Serenity_x.]

But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY And.... Cut!

[@maxwallace9491]

Your social score is multiplied by your pack mates, but so are the other creatures. Just try to get them alone or push them away from their nest and you will only need a social of 2 in each category to befriend anyone.

[@fullmoonshadow6967]

The "plants have feelings too, y'know!" line reminded me about something I read. Plants *can* tell their own young apart from other seedlings of the same species. Redwood trees have been documented to identify their own seedlings and link roots with them to give them a better chance in the harsh ecosystem by sharing nutrients!

[@darkbeetlebot]

I think going green for the last two stages would be a great choice since it makes you an ecologist, which gives the incredibly useful and flavorful safari vacuum. With that, you can easily terraform space stage planets without having to spend forever picking up different plants. You could get a bunch of T-score 3 planets with only plants on them, since not having animals still stabilizes the score. Alternatively you could choose blue and green, which would give the bard consequence. Not as good as ecologist, but still a flavorful choice.

[@UnderoathHasMyBrain]

Pears... Oh, no. I'm getting flashbacks of Spore: The Movie. I might have to watch it again now.

[@stylesrj]

I do like the idea of sentient plants. Probably because when I played Sim Earth, you couldn't just place down Carniferns, you had to place down enough insects for them to spawn. Then you could make them sentient. Funnily enough though, not big on the idea of sentient trees. It's gotta be flowers or grass or shrubberies. Or of course the whole Carniferns thing with pitcher plants or Venus Flytraps.

[@Masquerade404]

I always go Carnivore > Aggressive / Extinction > Peaceful > Commercial.. Basically Red > Red > Green > Blue is how I progress through the stages.. I don't care a whole lot about the Knight's ability to summon a friendly fighter of your species, but the bonuses from each stage is very nice.. Also, only the player generated species will ever be capable of being Knight archetype..

[@mistingwolf]

Plants are cool. They can actually tell their family members from non-family members. They will grow their roots away from family so they don't compete, but will "fight" for space with the roots of non-family members.

[@orchidsalvia285]

It's unfortunate that you didn't plan on using the actual plant mouth for the species.

[@orchidsalvia285]

Since the plant mouth is in the omnivore section, you could still primarily eat meat. If I were doing this run, I'd also ditch eyes because plants do not have eyes. I'd probably ditch any legs as well. It would be annoying, but it would be realistic. Things stop becoming important once you hit tribal.
