Incubator

Incubator

If you move, unlock, release, or otherwise make the incubator movable,
or move eggs out of the incubator, all eggs inside will reset!
All hatching progress will be lost and eggs will need to start over when re-secured.

What is an Incubator?

The Incubator is a special container that allows players to warm and hatch Incubatable Eggs over time.

Once secured inside your house, it automatically begins incubating any valid eggs placed inside.

Each egg takes time to hatch and eventually produces a bonded creature!

The creature hatched will take on the same hue as the egg.

How to Use

1. Secure the incubator inside your house.
2. Drag and drop an Incubatable Egg into the incubator gump.
3. The egg will need to be double clicked to start incubating.
4. Monitor progress by single-clicking the incubator.
5. Double-click a ready egg to hatch it when complete.

Progress Tracking

When you single-click the incubator, it displays:

• Total Eggs inside
• Eggs Hatching (warming)
• Eggs Ready to open

Special Rules

• Maximum Capacity: 15 eggs per incubator.
• Incubation Time: Approximately 7 real-life days.
• Secure Required: The incubator must be locked down and secured to function.
• Egg Reset:

 * Removing an egg
 * Moving or releasing the incubator
 * Unlocking the incubator  
 Any of these actions will reset all eggs inside back to zero progress.

Eggs and Incubation

Incubatable Eggs come in three sizes:

• Small Eggs – Hatch smaller pets like Lava Lizards, Hell Hounds, or Bake Kitsune.
• Medium Eggs – Hatch stronger creatures like Nightmares or Fire Steeds.
• Large Eggs – Hatch mighty beasts such as Dragons, Cu Sidhes, or Hiryu.

Each egg has a randomized color (hue) and requires approximately 7 real-life days to hatch once incubation begins.

If you remove an egg from an incubator, or if incubation is interrupted, all progress is lost and the egg must restart incubation from zero.

Creatures that Hatch from Eggs

Depending on the egg size, different creatures may hatch:

Small Eggs

• Bake Kitsune
• Komodo Dragon
• Lava Lizard
• Hell Hound
• Dire Wolf

Medium Eggs

• Nightmare
• Fire Steed
• Beetle
• Ridable Llama
• Forest Ostard

Large Eggs

Hatched creatures will automatically bond to their owner upon spawning, assuming you have enough available follower slots.
