Maxing out in Creature Mode

[justing943]

Hi!

After doing a little searching, I couldn't find a thread that answered this, so here's my question: what tips does the community here have for maxing out all your abilities and skills (max all fighting and social skills, sneak, sprint, jump, and fly, plus the normal things like calling for mate, etc)? I know this may sound like a stupid question and a self explanatory one, even, but I'm having a little trouble.

I'm on already on my 6th world trying various things on various difficulties, but nothing worked. I tried befriending everyone in creature, didn't work. Tried killing everyone, didn't work. Tried mixing a bit of both, didn't work. When I say didn't work, I mean I didn't have enough DNA to max out all my skills. Does the amount of DNA you collect in creature mode affect how genetically complex your creature can be? I.e., how many parts you can have on your creature, how many spine-bone-things you can have, etc?

Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but does difficulty affect how much DNA you get per action :O? Hope for a reply soon, would like to get back to spore so I can max out creature and move onto tribal, civ, then space !

Note: When I created a creature starting from creature mode without doing cell first, I somehow managed to max out everything on it even with the max length of the spine-bones. Never got it to work starting from scratch from cell mode . I don't feel as though that's affecting it though.

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Mostly up to you, though social is always useful. senses too, though more moderately. also don't forget to invest towards brain. That's how you move on to tribal.

Yes, yes it does. There's a little graph at the top of the editor that shows you how complex you can get. Its max increases with collected DNA.

No idea.

Notice: I don't even own the game yet and I know this stuff. Did you try google first?
