Q&A
Question: Will these new parts be uploadable to the sporepedia?
Answer: Sadly it will not be able to, however we are hopeful we can come up with a agreement with Maxis on getting them past the filters.
Question: Will creatures with the new parts be able to save?
Answer: At the moment some of the grox parts and all the cell parts do not save properly, and we are continuing to look into this. However if we are unable to fix the issue we will be releasing a hack which will allow you to save anyway.
Question: Will the creatures with new part pollinate?
Answer: Any creature which will save will be able to pollinate.
Question: Will we need to start a new game?
Answer: We strongly advise anyone using the new version of BetterSpore to start a new game, however make sure you
do not play that save version without the mod. You will be able to play an old game with BetterSpore but that game may encounter bugs.
Question: Where are all the artifacts i heard about last month?
Answer: We are working to get them into 1.5, however it may not be possible and will be released in a patch or 1.6.
Question: When will BetterSpore 1.5 be released?
Answer: Hopefully by early March.
Question: Will it all be in one package or can i get the parts separately?
Answer: There will be 3 packages, BetterSpore complete (all the features), BetterSpore parts (parts/editor changes only, no gameplay changes) and BetterSpore tools (Space tools only).
