You can interact with objects in the world by clicking on them and pick them up by right clicking. You can move around using the arrow keys.
You're going to want to teach whichever species you've decided to raise English to make it easier to understand what they're thinking and to be able to give them commands.

Other than the basics, there's not much to tell. Creatures has no set objectives; you can do anything you want with it.
For example, fill a corridor entirely with bees.

In addition, there's plenty of usermade content to make things more interesting. (any .agent files you download go in Program Files\Gameware Development\(whichever game)\My Agents)

That should be enough to get you going.

Which game did you start? Docking Station or Creatures 3?

I usually throw .creature files into the same folder as agents and they're recognized by the game alright.

First off: Press F1 to toggle agent help (switch it on and off.) It puts a ? near the hand. Right clicking on stuff while the ? is there brings up a box with (usually helpful but sometimes silly) information.

OK, in creatures 3, you'll have to take your norn/ettin/grendel to the learning room (door near the incubator) and use the machine in there to teach them verbs and adjectives (I can't tell you how to use the machine, right click on it with agent help to get more info.) Then you get agent help on again and left click on objects. This will gradually teach all nearby creatures the name of the object, provided they can see it.

There are also "stones of knowledge" which are big grey things that light up when a creature pushes them and teaches the creature all words. You'll need to coax them to push this. You can also give them instant words with the CAOS command line, but I wouldn't recommend it at this stage.

Agents are objects (like the knowledge stones, or cheese) that players have made for other people to inject into their worlds.

Finally, get DevThing to make everything easier. You can do a whole bunch of stuff with it, including (I think) instant words, getting all the power-ups, and changing the amount of creatures allowed in the world. The maker's website went down, so if you can't find a copy of it, PM me your e-mail and I'll send one over.

EDIT: Most people put their creatures in a folder called My Creatures. The relevant instance of this folder (there can be several) will vary according to the operating system and C3/DS versions. What you should do to find the one you need, is name a creature with a unique name (like hambelefelop) and export it. Do a windows search for the name, and whatever folder the file pops up in, just use that. Or, you could list your OS and version, and wait for someone to tell you where your relevant folder is :P (I won't know)

In Creatures 3, there's a door above the area you start at. Behind it is this room. The link will explain how to operate it. The machine will only teach verbs and expression of drives ("James extremely cold" ). Nouns must be taught manually by you.

To teach all creatures within earshot a word, click the hand icon in the top left corner and then on the object you want to teach them the name of. Any creature who hears it will parrot the word back to you as best they can.
They won't get the word right at first. While in this mode, you can keep clicking on the object until they get it right.

There are also several statues around the ship called the stones of knowledge. If a creature interacts with them, they will instantly learn all English words in the game's limited dictionary.


CTRL + SHIFT + C, type
targ norn vocb

and CTRL + SHIFT + C to close the command line again. This command has the same effect as a knowledge stone on the selected norn.

Agents (or in past games, COBs) is an umbrella term for all non-creature non-room Creatures addons, such as machines and non-intelligent life.
Agents come packaged in .agent files, which can be installed by placing the files in
C: \Program Files\Gameware Development\Creatures 3 (or Docking Station)\My Agents

The file path may vary depending on your operating system.

In-game, these agents can be introduced to the game through Creators.
In Creatures 3, there is a Creator in the Engineering room at the back of the ship. I won't go into bioenergy.

When downloading creatures, the game will "see" the .creature files anywhere in the game folder, as far as I know.

Edit: Seconding DevThing.

Grendels are tough, it can take a good 30 hits (or more, it depends on how fast you can hit) to kill them. It is possible, just difficult.

You can kill all Grendels in your world at once: hit Ctrl-Shift-C to open the CAOS command line (aka cheat box). Type in
enum 4 2 0 kill targ next

Hit ENTER. All Grendels will be gone from your world. Then hit Ctrl-Shift-C again to close the command line.

Keep an eye on the grendel egg layer in the Jungle (shiny round orifice to the left of the piranha pond) whenever you kill a Grendel. If there are less than two Grendels or Grendel eggs in the world, an egg will appear there after a little while. Pick it up before it hatches and put it in the piranha pool, eggs don't hatch once they are underwater. Once you have two eggs there, the game won't make any more Grendels.



(note: a friend of mine says that some versions of the game require you to use this code before you use the one above:
enum 4 2 0 dead next

My version of the game doesn't require this, so it may just be a Linux thing, but better safe than sorry.)

You can also tame grendels,
but that may take some work,by snatching a grendel egg to the norn terrarium with some norns,wait for it to hatch and ,and introduce it to a norn.
(tickle if he"push" the norn,punish it for every hit atempt) or simply tell it to push and tickle,and if he choose to hit,just punish him for that,that is,if you teached it vocabulary) With some work,you be able to have grendels that dosn't kill XD

The water trick works for ettin eggs too,as well norn eggs.

Or the easier way: Just download some grendel breeds that is non agressive genetic-wise (some few example:
snapdragon's tiger grendel,trix's tiger grendel or my c2pig grendel for c3/ds)

also,you could download a agent wich allow you to close down the grendel-ettin mother.

Another trick is to wait for the grendel egg and put it into water *example piranah pool* and then wait for the last 2nd egg to be laid and put in there too. That way,no grendels will hatch.
