Monolith Problem in Spore Space Stage?

I used a Monolith in the Space Stage in Spore (computer game) on a Tribal Planet. It said that they had been upgraded to the Civilization Stage, but when I went there to use another monolith to bring them to the Space Stage, all I found were five or so destroyed cities ( like the ones you found on your first mission, when you have to fight those easy Security Drones.



If it might have anything to do with it:



.I'm Omnipotent

.already used an monolith to bring them to Civ. Stage

.Have creepy + cute

.Only downloaded patch one (might have downloaded more, if they all come in the patch that it tells you to install when you first start Spore)Monolith Problem in Spore Space Stage?
I don't think you can even use the Monolith twice on the same planet.

As far as I know, you can't.Monolith Problem in Spore Space Stage?
