UFO Radar in Home World & Spice Boxes Hi I am new to these forums and have some basic questions. 1. My UFO radar is beeping in my homeworld and pointing in a specific direction but when I reach there there is nothing there to pick up . its stops and stars again without any reason. Its confusing and does any one know why the rader is activated in the Homeworld. whats its purpose. 2. At my home world there are these coloured boxes at all the cities and can I pick them up or is it considered theft as in the other alien cities. 3. Also I drop alien life in my cities for study but no one comes and takes them away as they are suppose to and they wander around and leave the city or in one case either the aline or a citizen got angry and the alien got killed. So how does this work. 4. Also how to I remove a colony established on another plant. Sorry for all the questions just need some help.
COME ON some help me out please There must be some answer to this or is my question too confusing Damn I miss playing WoW
The answer to your first question is it must be pointing towards some lost relic or alot of times I find it finding planet sculpting tools hidden under the big rocks out on the surface. I would say go there and use the abduction beam and start using it in the general area and see if it latches on to anything. Sometimes when you fight other ships and destroy them the gold they drop just flies all over the place. Go ahead and grab the boxes so long as their your homeworlds or colonies stuff. When you drop off alien subjects you've went out to retrieve you should get a flashing message in your communication device showing you've done your job correctly. I don't know how to specifically remove a colony like you're wanting short of destroying it yourself. I know I get frustrated when i drop off a colony and it's on the edge of the planet where you can't see it's icon or alot of times any pirates that are attacking it.
OK Thanks a ton, also I kept playing the game and I finally understood the stuff and solved the problems and questions. Also I have some other basic questions. First I want to add that I dont have internet access right now and I got a temporary connection to activate the game. 1. In the game if I start a species and want to get rid of it , I have to delete the whole planet. Is there any way to do this without deleting the planet as I cant get the same planet back. 2. If I delete the species but still want to play the same one again from the start will I be able to do so. I like their design and dont want to loose it. 3. In the creature creater I can create any species but how do I play them in game. Do in have to load it on sporepedia via the internet or since I am creating it on my own computer I can use that. I cant seem to use or play with the creatures I am creating at least in the Cell Stage. I design a Cell Stage Creature and I cant load it into the game world. Again thanks for any help and information
1 I'm not sure about removing a species so early in the game. I know later on in the space stage you get a tool that will wipe a planet clean of life! 2 again not sure but have you tried the trash can feature when you first start up the game on that planet? 3 from what I've seen you can play any stage so long as you've played it on a another planet. I used one of my pre-built spore critters to start up a space stage game on another planet.
OK Thanks again I kept playing the game and I have understood a few issues. 1. If I create a creature I can play him again, well that should have been obvious to me, but anyway. 2. Issues I still have is that I have a space age civilization which I want to delete but it removes the entire planet, by that I mean the galaxy, so I cant use the specific galaxy to start another species. Therefore there are only a few planets on the start screen from where you have to choose, so if I keep deleting speices, then I will eventually run out of planets (Galaxies) and not be able to play the game eventually. I hope you can understand what I am saying. Is there a way to create new galaxies to play with or have to be connected to the internet. [By the way as mentioned in my previous post I dont have a connection rith now] 3. With regard to the cell stage I cannot design my own cell to start with and can only start desigining it after mating unlike the other stages. Why is that. 4. The last one is a bug and I want to confirm if others a having this issue. After alines are killed on my home planet I get to pick up gold but in some werid cases it zips around the place and its impossible to catch. It actuallt flys around or in one case moves of the ground. This is the gold itmes that drop from the enemy ships. 5. This one is about game paly. I wanted a strategy guide for bignners as I am playing the easy level and its a nightmare as my homeworld keeps geeting frequently attcked and I am unable to to anything but keep defending them all the time. Also what happens if all the cities on my home world get destroyed. I need a good game guide free of course and some advise. Again I will like top thank you for the all the help you have given and any one else who will help out. Some of the stuff mentioned here is a repetition as the cell stage, which I am not clear about.
I noticed that about the cell stage too as I wanted to start another planet off at cell stage and it only gave the creature options as a first choice. I've noticed that about the gold too but I usually keep sniffing it out and find it. That bug has been addressed in the patch. I'm not usre about what happens if your home planet falls but it would be my guess if you don't have any colonies started up it would be game over man! Just a guess though!
