I am still in creature, How do you form a pack? I have tried sing dance etc I can manage to impress 2/3 in some rare cases and find it very hard to get the 3/3.
can you make a pack of your own creatures in the nest?
Should I just attack and try to kill as many species as I can.
finding bones for improvements is a marathon

I found that impressing your own kind was so easy it was a formality, so long as you wait to see what they do and copy it quicky (It doesn't seem to matter if you wait for them to finish their dance or not, but they do get bored if you don't react).
After impressing the first few other species, I found I couldn't impress anymore until I had the right parts - as well as singing and dancing that you will always have (unless you have no feet/mouths!), there is 'posing' and 'charming' that depend on having hands and 'decorative' parts.

Ok thanks I didn't think I had to impress my own kind,so was only doing that with other species and haven't added heaps of parts when they are unlocked as my creature is looking more like a porcupine than I want
So will try that tact.

You can impress species that you have already "allied". My pack usually has maximum one of my own kind, the rest are rogue creatures (sometimes you find lonely "rogue" versions of the random creatures who don't get along with their group...) or other useful creatures.

If you want to add a piece for the ability, but don't want to see it, you can hover the mouse over the selected piece after it's place and use the scroll wheel to rescale it. You can rescale so far down that in-game you can't see it, but you retain the ability.

Just one thing about what you said.
1: what level were you playing on? (if easy, try a harder level)
My first play through I played on Normal and it was alright, but in Space, my potentially-favorite-stage, I could not for the life of me have peace of mind to have the least bit of fun as I was constantly called for attacks and my allies turning on each others. So I decided to turn the game to easy to have fun in Space, I created a new creature, and it was then way too easy on the first four stages... And I'm only getting partial relief in space.
Not really... It's kind of a flaw to me. When you're in space you can put creatures on any planet you want (provided it has some sort of ecosystem). However, the only way play as a creature or a tribe or a civ is to start a new game at the stage you want, and when you do that you have to pick from six random planets the game gives you.
I just wish I could terraform a planet the way I want it then send a creature to it and start playing as that creature.
Same here. I was hoping Space Stage would be much more of a sandbox (and one where you could blow up a planet to sculpt a solar system without consequence) rather than a space trade game (reminds me of the old online BBS game "Planets") with a passive (put creatures on a planet and hope the one you want to become sentient, does) sandbox. I guess I'll wait for expansion packs, then.
BTW, are creature parts unlocked with each "generation", or are they strictly found by searching for badges?

I'd like to see another stage added to the game after the space stage, where you have transcended all limitations through technology and/or spiritual-metaphysical theory, where you have the real 'sandbox' mode.
Is it just me, or is it impossible to alter limb joints with the editors in the game itself? I never tried the Creature Creator, and I can't get this limb joint thing to work. The alt key just copies the whole limb.

You find parts by achieving goals in the creature stage (killing off creatures or allying them), or randomly lying around the map in bone piles (uh... ok). To put them on your creature you need to go back to the nest and "reproduce".

If i remember correctly from when i used the creature creator, you make more joints by using alt, then moving it to the middle joint, i'm not to sure as i haven't done it for over a month. Ask Dale when he comes around.
I reached a planet today and it said it was a "Storybook planet" or something like that. I don't quite know what it meant.
It was an unhabited T3 planet though. Some people seem to say "storybook planets" have some interesting geological features but I haven't noticed. It seemed rather nice with hills. I should go back and check. I colonized it though.

Nope!
I think ctrl may be used to remove joints? Maybe it was just in the original CC. I dunno.
Question: what are the space stage traits you have achieved? Stage "colours" in order gave me...
GREEN-GREEN-GREEN-RED = Shaman (green colour)
BLUE-BLUE-BLUE-BLUE = Trader (blue colour)
RED-BLUE-GREEN-RED = Knight (pinkish colour)
RED-BLUE-GREEN-GREEN = Ecologist (yellowish colour)

How do I get spice in space stage?
I have $100 000 and no more colony packs (used one) but don't see how to get spice from my home world?
There are worlds that want spice.
Oh, and where are the easy Normal and hard game settings?

I'm not completely sure how I did it for my creature (I did it accidently), I think it had something to do with dragging it.

Spice should be created automatically on your planets as you play, make sure you have buildings in your home planet cities. If that doesn't work check this tutorial out by Keneth.
You can only choose your difficulty when you begin play, it is one of the options you choose as you begin your new game.
