Plant editor

From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore

Please note that portions of this article contain some speculation. You can help SporeWiki by expanding it with confirmation or some more ideas.

The plant editor was shown, though not extensively, at E³. It has three buttons on the top: test, texture, and parts.

Contents 1 Test 2 Parts 2.1 Fruit 3 Texture 4 History

[edit] Test

Since plants do not move, the purpose of the test part is not clear. It may show the flora swaying in the wind, it may show different variatons of the flora that a scipt calculates, or even how herbivores react to it. The button may even be disabled for this particular editor.

[edit] Parts

The parts subsection was the only one shown in E³. It has five menus: trunks, branches, leaves, fruit (and/or nuts), and flowers.

[edit] Fruit

Fruit is a prime foodsource for herbivore-type creatures. There have not been any demonstrations of fruit so far, but they have been shown in '06 GDC prototyping slides.

[edit] Texture

The texture editor may work similiarly to the editor for creatures; however, it may not have quite as many overlays.

[edit] History

The Plant Editor has most likely been in spore since 2005 but the variety of plants in Spore has been very limited. Leafy Trees were seen in the video with the Willosaur but after the only flora that was commonly seen was tree ferns until July 10th when new screenshots and a new video was shown. The Plant editor is has been confirmed to possibly be released in an expansion pack.
