A new mod I'm working on!

Features:
  • Completely removes nests from the Creature Stage
  • Adds several new tools
  • Makes buildings more expensive
  • Makes extinction of a species harder. (15 kills instead of 3-7 kills)
  • And probably much more in the future.
Alpha release coming soon.

Hello there! I'm a random guy who sometimes does *slightly* smart stuff. I do a lot of random Spore shenanigans, too.

Feel free to build off my open-source mods, but please don't add them to modpacks; it could cause compatability issues.

I'm trying to make packs of creatures larger because, as Davo himself said...
Davo wrote:the more creatures in your nest reveal more of the core games habitat feeling.
...which would make creatures more interesting, as they would do more things.
For example, I once had an AI nest spawn next to the ocean when testing this mod. The creatures frequently drank from the water, which is probably part of what Davo mentioned.

I've managed to increase the pack size...
Spore_2018-11-04_17-25-50.png
...so now I need to figure out how to make them spread out.

EDIT:

I think this is close enough, expect a new release soon.

Solar Spore v0.02b is out.
It's just a small bugfix patch which fixes the Homeworld Portal. It uses the same download link as the previous version.

I think I found a problem with this mod. In the Space Stage, every planet that I go to with the "artifact" signal always turns out to be space pirates.

That's odd. I'll look into it soon, but for now, try removing "!!!ChocIce75_SolarSpore_SolarSystem.package" from your Data folder.

  • The player's nest has been replaced with a plant.
  • Creatures in the early Creature Stage now wander around more.

I've been thinking of making a spore mod that takes all the best or most freeing of the mods and smashes them together into one so that many others won't have to search through these forums so hardly, like a Megamod. You got any ideas for a name for this mod? My megamod, i mean.

Ultra Spore? Also, make sure that...
1. The mods are compatable. (If they edit the same files, you'll have to attempt to merge them.)
2. You have permission from the mod authors. (Feel free to use my mods in a modpack, but others may not want their mods in a modpack.)

Depends on which files and why. Sometimes it can be more complicated than that, such as for localized text or embedded package signatures.

Others such as myself, yes.

So, I just wanted to put this in here. Solar Spore is an amazing awesome mod, but as someone who prefers to have infinite ammo in space stage (simply because I hate flying back and forth to constantly buy supplies all the time), it makes mods that give you infinite ammo cease to work. :0 Really cool mod otherwise though, and if I'm not playing space stage, this mod is a must-have.
