Glad you’re liking the game. Just be sure to LEAVE THE GROX ALONE unless you’re pretty much done with the game and heading to the core is the last thing you want to do….

I added you as a friend already, but if anyone else wants to make friends, my EA name is: cacophonic7

I do like your critters. They look dark and mean :) Mine always seem to come out like happy cartoons. It’s weird to see my own critters as I encounter them, threatening me and berating me and looking like happy cartoons :P

Doing the tribal phase with a race without hands should be interesting.

Tonight, if I have time, I’ll do the vehicles for the space and civilization stages. Space will be a General Products #2 hull, obviously, so that’s pretty easy (the Puppeteers were spaceship hull merchants as well as being famous cowards and blackmailers). Since I don’t remember any specific description of other vehicles, aside from single person things like flycycles or those flying cars, I’ll probably model the land and air vehicles after Blade Runner’s “Spinner” cars, and go to Sporepedia for a ship.

I’m working on Known Space races. I did Puppeteer last night, which will be my race. A pacifist herbivore will hopefully offend fewer people in space than my expansionist carnivore apparently did. Life near the core is very scary, a LOT of hostile races in the area, and the only way they will make peace with you is to kill someone else for them.

I’ll be making Kzinti next — orange cat-like critters with huge flap ears and rat tails, totally aggressive — just because.they need to be around. I wouldn’t want to meet them in game. The Grog and the Kdatlyno should be pretty easy.

Now if there was only a way I could fit a Ringworld in there…
