The easiest way to do it is to get the highest level wings, highest level jump, and jump into a spice geyser (on a hill, if possible.). It'll shoot you WAY up and you should just fly forward for as long as possible.

True, true. And I wasn't aware of the 10pc thing, that's helpful. I think I'll just go with getting all their planets to T3 though, then they'll actually be inhabitable for my allies, who can work to get rid of the Grox WITH me. Or at least slow them down when they're trying to get to my colonies.

But that's too expensive and will make everyone else hate me. Even that "Planetbusters don't cause hate" mod doesn't work for me for some reason. If I make the planets T3, can the Grox bring them back down to T0 or not? If they can't, that's just as effective as blowing up the planet.

I have that mod too, no interstellar space travel limit and unlimited Staff of Life. I can take out a Grox planet in 2 seconds with the Staff of Life; just get in, drop the SOL and get out. I am cheating and pausing every once in a while to use the "refillmotives" cheat though. In 5 minutes, I can take out like 10 Grox planets. Does anyone know if they can rebuild? It would suck to waste all that time destroying all the Grox, just to have them start building up their empire again. There should be a mod that prevents them from building another colony once one is destroyed.

What if you use the Staff of Life to bring up all their planets to T3? Will they be able to bring those planets back to T0 and rebuild? I have this method where I drop in on Grox planets and get rid of their colonies with the Staff of Life (and an infinite uses mod) instead of blowing the planet up, which is freaking expensive.

Some n00by questions...

Sometimes when I go to a planet, there's a random blue circle on it (sometimes a few). Looks like the same circle that appears when placing a Colony Incedi-Pack. I was thinking it may have been a marker indicating that a colony was there, but got destroyed. But it always seems to be in the same place on every planet. What is it?

Also...
What's the point of abducting sentient beings? Is there anything you can do with them? I abducted some Tribal Sentient creatures and put them on another planet, but they just got eaten by the animals. When I place them near one of my colonies, they automatically move inside and join my creatures, though I haven't noticed if they're there permanently or not.
