What happens in the space stage...

What happens in the space stage? I've never been able to play it for more than five minutes before completely dropping the game.

You're in space.

Fetch quests and tedious micromanagement.

the best stage in the whole game

the basis for a really good game that nothing else has ever really managed to tap into since

Your homeworld is constantly raided by pirates and ecological disasters and all of your allies won't stop trying to get you to declare war on each other.

You pilot a space ship, make allies, make eneimes, fight space pirates, terrorize lesser civilisations, colonize planets, genocide flora and fauna, fight giant creatures, search for stupid items, prevent ecological collapse, terraform planets, destroy planets, etc...

It was pretty fucking great

>Terraform planets
Was so much fun and so satisfying. What other games let you do shit like that?

Sounds shit.

Sounds fun.

Which is it, objectively speaking?

Both, really. It's what 47 said except with the tedium that 18 mentioned.

spore 2 WHEN ?

I'm the one who said it was tedious micromanagement.
What the other guy said, it's true, that stuff is really cool the first few times. But the next time is the same few clicks. As is the next five times. And by your dozenth shitty ecosystem collapse warning you realize that while the ideas presented in Spore are interesting, actually playing the video game is frustrating in its busywork.
I had my fun with the game and even reached the center of the galaxy, but the journey to that center had me hitting a breaking point and outright ignoring the game's quests, warnings, and messages.

>abduct a bunch of aliens from a lower civilization
>take them to an different T3 planet because I want them to make a civilization there
>they make a small fire and sit around it
>fly up high enough to not see them, then immediately go back down
>they are already dead

I just wanted them to colonize the plan. Am I missing something or really they always end up dead?

been ages since I played it, but maybe the planet's creature slots were already full? Iirc every planet could only be populated by 3 different creatures at tier 3 and any additional one you put there would just die off screen.

They will always die. You can only move animals between planets and only if the current terraform level can accommodate them. Higher intelligence creatures will always die in other worlds

Well, that's suck. I thought you will need some kind of tech or something for that. Also this also make the abducting of sapient beings pointless except for the missions.

Yep. Spore is one of those 'born way too prematurely, yet lived' cases

Space Stage is fun for about 5 hours, at that point every fucking planet needs your help all the time.

I unironically enjoy a playthrough from time to time, but I haven't finished space stage once because of the terrible micromamagement and lack of automation/RTS elements you'd expect from space colonizer gameplay.

There isnt really a "finish"
Unless you mean the task of eliminating the grox which is nearly an effort in futility

Similiar to designing houses and vehicles? It's pretty cool to design your governmental house but then it requires you to design factories, houses, entertainment modules and shit and you kinda stop giving a shit.

Let's rate the stages

Creature stage>Space stage (before it turns into micromanagement hell)>Civilization stage>Cell Stage>>>>>Tribal Stage

Bear in mind I last played Spore ages ago and I make the list out of memories.

Creature > Early Space > Cell > Tribal > Civilization

I remember having fun in tribal stage having a full tribe of spear throwers and watching anything I clicked get porcupined. I don't remember having fun in civilization stage.

The first stage is the most fun desu. The one afterwards is second most fun. The rest are equally as shitty.

For me tribal stage was too barebone and easy even on the hard difficulty to have fun. Especial if you go for the pacific way. it always just give the hostile tribe a gift and then play simon says two or three times to win them over.
I feel like it's the most unfinished stage out of everone.

I've never played herbivore or pacific. It seems such a chore when you can just kill others more quickly. Once I tried and it was like either charm 12 creatures or kill 7 creatures, and I was like why bother.
