Re: Why are so many of my playable planets earth-like colors?

my spore user is Morei ! i used to play under the name "alexi23" but made an alt account for a new name.

though im mostly wondering, if i am trying to find a planet i have already put a save file on, how hard is it to even find it? like, do i really have to go manually looking for it in space stage...? that just seems very impossible or hard to do, depending on where you are in comparison to the planet you want to change...

    if you already have a save file on a planet then all you need to do to find it in the space stage is to get the star on your screen, it will show up with a bright blue outline. As for finding a planet with no save file on it i have no idea what will happen. The problem is that interactions with a planet that has a save file are cut to a minimum.

    ah, i understand that but.... how easy is it to actually FIND the planet...? if i make a save file on a planet that is all the way on the other arm of the galaxy, will i be able to find it easily? i dont understand how i am supposed to know the exact location. do i just have to do it the manual way- upgrade enough that i can easily explore that far in the galaxy, and just keep looking and looking for the general area that i think the home planet is, until i find the outline indicating its one of my planets..?

    yeah that sounds about right. Trust me its not that hard. I tried it myself one time thinking it would be near impossible but with a decent interstellar drive it should only take about 5-10 minutes.
