There have not been any demonstrations of fruit so far, but they have been shown in '06 GDC prototyping slides. It has five menus: trunks, branches, leaves, fruit, and flowers.įruit is a prime food source for herbivore-type creatures. The parts subsection was the only one shown in E 3. The crash is caused by the game attempting to spawn the plant in a manner that completely covers the planet with millions of plants, likely because the vanilla flora editor does not allow the plant's size or spawning conditions to be specified correctly. Although not perfect, adding "gaprop" as the only tag is known to almost completely prevent the crash-though it is still recommended to save before using it regardless. Note: It is not recommended to save creations from the Flora Editor, as it is very hard to delete, as well as being known to cause several permanent adverse effects, such as the game crashing when the Staff of Life is used. However, they can still be edited by dragging the plant's PNG image from the "My Spore Creations/Plants" folder into any editor. Creations cannot be re-edited via the Sporepedia or in-editor Sporepedia, as the edit button is not available. The "Share" button is available when viewing it in the Sporepedia, but it always displays an uploading error message when clicked. Creations that are saved are pollinated throughout Spore as normal. One part in the "Trunks" section (the only part in the Flora Editor that, like in other editors, rotates when it is moused over), will always crash the game when one attempts to drag it in. Having at least (or only) the first fruit part on the plant usually solves the last bug.

Various bugs exist in the editor though, such as texture disappearing in Paint Mode, invisible parts, crashing for unknown reasons, and not being able to save the creation.

It has 4 part categories: trunks, leaves, details, and fruits. The Flora Editor can be started through "sporeApp.exe -state:FloraEditor". But now it seems as if there is no way to type or paste in the target section of properties. Leafy Trees were seen in the video with the Willosaur, but after that, the only flora that was commonly seen were tree ferns, until July 10th when new screenshots and a new video were shown. The Flora Editor has most likely been in Spore since 2005, but the variety of plants in Spore has been very limited.
