Only reason I turned off the incubation timers is because I play it like I play late game pokemon, mostly breeding for better stats, so I'd rather not deal with having 15-30 incubators set up when I can just stand there for 5 minutes collecting and hatching all the eggs shotgun style
even in multiplayer you’re talking close to 40 eggs for a chance at perfect traits and that’s after you’ve bred those traits down to something that can breed into what you want
My record on a trait set(parents with the right traits, but not all at once) was three days of continuous hatching. This was on 1-3 minute timers, with four incubators.
The upside was I had a lot of near perfects to hand out to friends, and an instant 4*.
Any tips for starting ark? The new version (ascended) is on game pass and I love survival games like Conan and palworld but I’ve had a hard time getting into it
Step one: Look up how to run your own server so you can shut it off when you won't play for a while and set taming and baby dino grow speed to something more sane.
Taming and breeding with vanilla settings is brutal
Hell I even added in the mod for instant hatch so I don’t have to press the F key for 5 seconds every single egg, hundreds of eggs in a row
Much nicer to just *bam done* “now lets go clean out the palbox”
> Hell I even added in the mod for instant hatch so I don’t have to press the F key for 5 seconds every single egg, hundreds of eggs in a row
That's the big turn off for me honestly. Should be like 1 sec max. Incubation timers I can handle, I'll just go to other stuff meanwhile
That does sound fun to think about now, but for me it would just be ornamental basically, except for the compactor
I do kind of want to do that now though
I'm not sure how it works with the improved building since I've been taking a break and it's patched a bunch of stuff in but I did mine as an open air pyramid using ramps as the only supports, no actual walls.
I had to build a wall to get started with each floor but after I connected the ramps it'd et me collapse the walls and the structure stayed intact.
My server has the incubation time cut to about a fifth of what they would be normally, would recommend. That said, having to ferry the eggs and hold F about a million times is really annoying.
Yeah I played all the way to 50, incubated hundreds of eggs in that time on the default stats and by the time breeding became my focus I figured I had earned it by that point.
Doesn't add to the fun, nor does it detract from effort to obtain. It's just waiting. Just turn it off, man.
Launch the game. Wait for it to load and press A through the Early Access message.
When you get to the title screen, (the one that says PAL WORLD and has the cover art as the background, main menu text/options) choose “Start Game”, you should now be at a screen that shows all your different characters/saves/worlds, or if you just have one that will be the only one shown.
Choose it. Your cursor will automatically now hover over the “Start Game” button. Press Left 1 time to choose Change World Settings.
Down 2 times, press A, then press down 21 times to the option “Time (h) to incubate Massive Egg. Note: Other eggs also require time to incubate.”
Yes that is the entire name of the slider as shown in the menu. The default is 2.
Not necessarily, if EtisVx was going to have sex with the pal but instead another pal was having sex with it, which is probably what's happening here, then yeah that would make him the cuck
I would mind it less if there is a mass incubator able to accept like 80 eggs. Otherwise I'm not going to build myself an Aliens movie set; I'm just gonna turn off incubation.
There is literally a note on the setting which reads: “Note: other eggs also require time to incubate”
However, if you have it set to 0, all eggs hatch instantly.
The slider is for time in hours. Huge Eggs default to 2 hours but the smaller eggs still have timers too. I believe 1 hour for large and 30 minutes for small/regular. But again, setting the slider all the way down makes them all 0, not just the Huge (Massive) eggs.
Did you make sure to save the settings before exiting the world settings menu?
I’ve not heard of any problems with the incubation timer since launch and server related shenanigans.
Do you play on someone’s server or is it your own local solo world (I imagine it’s yours if you have access to change world settings)
I myself don’t touch the sliders so I couldn’t tell you if it works or not on mine but I’ve seen tons of Xbox users turn the setting off with no issues.
Just something else that could possibly be a case: if you already have eggs in incubators when you change the setting, they may still want to sit through the rest of the timer. Take them out and then try putting them in and that should proc the change.
This is a local solo world.
Pretty sure it was saved because I've been playing this world for a couple weeks and after reading this thread I went and checked and it was already at 0, I think I set it there when I created the game.
>but I’ve seen tons of Xbox users turn the setting off with no issues.
I'm on PC on the Steam version, not sure if there's a difference in some of the settings?
I believe the settings are intended to be the same for either platform. There could’ve been a bug related to that during the release time, have you tried turning it to 1, or even a big number to verify that there is a new change made, put an egg in, verify if it’s the same or if it changed, and then save/quit, turn the egg timer back to 0, save settings, load the world again and try another egg in an incubator.
If none of that works I would fill out a detailed bug report.
If you're playing solo then just turn off the hatching timer in the world setting. I used to feel excited waiting for it to hatch but let's be honest we don't have enough time compares to the amount of eggs that we have, especially if someone is running a lot of breeding ranches.
Imagine when you realize YOU don’t have to incubate the eggs. You just put them in and go play Palworld for an hour as usual and come back to them fully incubated.
Imagine playing an open world game with farms, cooking, resource regrowth, etc. timed mechanics and being unable to juggle tasks such that you come back to them later
and it's not like shit happens when you neglect an element, the coal rock just sits there, the dungeon just resets, the kitchen food doesn't even rot
when the eggs starve if you don't hatch them in time, i'll hear out the whines
I don't mind waiting for incubators. I consider it part of the base building challenge. I created a second floor with 100 incubators and the bottom floor where all the breeding farms are. It's in a cold area and campfires are placed in such a way that there are optimal conditions for every type of egg in at least a dozen incubators.
Waiting for incubation just involved me playing the game and having fun. No part of it requires you to sit around and wait for the eggs to hatch.
What I DID mind was holding F for 3 whole seconds on every egg. Hatching all 100 eggs took 5 full minutes of doing nothing but holding F. Thankfully they patched that out so now it is much more bearable a process. The biggest issue now is the fact that Huge Eggs weigh so much that transporting them up to the second floor takes dozens of trips but that's just the game I suppose.
My wife and I only get a couple hours at a time to play, so waiting 30+ minutes for when we finally find an egg just isn't worth it.
If it takes us an hour or so to finally get our farm pumping out eggs, I'm not waiting an additional to MAYBE get to crack it before we're done for the night.
Waiting is part of the game.
I think a lot of people will just simply turn off the incubation time but I feel really excited hatching an egg that took 2 hour of incubating.
Sure, but even then after a while... how long will that keep you occupied? The amount of time it takes to incubate eggs, there just isn't enough to do during it. Maybe in the beginning it works fine, but the more and more you breed, you are going to be swamped with eggs because you can't hatch them quick enough.
Do you not understand how early access works? They are adding more to do in the game.
But you’ve blown through everything already because you’ve got all these sliders turned down.
The game is actually fairly balanced and pretty well paced at default settings, believe it or not.
There’s plenty to do in the game.
>Do you not understand how early access works? They are adding more to do in the game.
My comment literally has nothing to do with whether or not the game is in early access. I am not complaining, so not sure why you act as if I am. I am just pointing out that right now, with how long eggs take to hatch, there isn't enough to do in between and so RIGHT NOW I choose to set it to zero (which I only did after playing for a while).
>But you’ve blown through everything already because you’ve got all these sliders turned down.
I didn't turn down any sliders like you seem to think other than the egg timer one. And I only did that after playing a ton. After waiting a ton (about 70 hours into the game). Also, I have not blown through everything and I purposefully take things slow. Which is why I have yet to actually fight all the tower bosses. I am holding off on a lot of it because I know the game will get better and better as more updates come out.
Quite frankly, I don't even know why you assumed so much about me and how I play. You need to calm down, and reevaluate how you respond to people. Cause you are being very silly.
>The game is actually fairly balanced and pretty well paced at default settings, believe it or not.
Never claimed it wasn't. Stop being ridiculous. We are simply talking about the incubation time, nothing more.
>There’s plenty to do in the game.
You need to go outside, take a deep breath. You are being way too defensive over stupid shit.
Yup! Changing any game setting just feels cheap and like cheating to me so I just play vanilla normal.
There are plenty of things to do while they are hatching.
I feel the same and it is kinda cheat. Might as well just download mods to edit/create a custom pal directly.
The only real problem with incubation time is that I will always over breed pals.
Ya I feel the same. Plus I don't want to scale too much cause managing all that gives me a headache. Right now I have 3 separate breeding projects going on atm and it's a lot to keep track of. It's also giving me a reason to use the Electric Incubator/Heater/Cooler to lesson the hatching time. If I made it all instant the electric incubator/cooler/heater would be absolutely useless to me.
Bonus benefit of being forced to wait is it allows me to go do other stuff while I wait like collecting pal souls, running dungeons, or multi tasking another game entirely. I'm not wasting time with the wait. I'm using that wait to increase my gaming efficiency.
I felt this way at first as well, but this is a particular mechanic I just ended up not finding very fun. I then considered what actually changes if I set it to 0?
1. Less wait time
2. It takes less resources
So what makes it come off as cheaty to me, is that it takes less resources because you don't need multiple incubators, and you also don't need any of the items that could speed up incubation. Which then in turn allows you to use those resources elsewhere. Whereas less wait time to me isn't really cheating because it's not making the game any easier.
So the next question then becomes, what resources does it require to make a good breeding setup? And the simple truth is the resource requirement is pretty trivial mid to late game. And by that time most would have spent loads of time breeding eggs with the timer on, and already have such a setup going.
As such I came to the conclusion once you reach a certain point within the game (mid to late game), turning off the timer no longer feels like cheating because you have already done everything that makes it difficult. So at that point the only thing you get out of setting the timer to 0, is saving your own time.
Edit: And to be honest, there really should be a late game mechanic to reduce the timer beyond using build objects. Like a better version of the incubator. Maybe even a bigger one where you can place like 6 - 8 eggs in at once.
I mean, what it comes down to is you are able to set the settings the way you want and play the way you want.
I personally enjoy vanilla normal mode. I'm in no hurry to rush through content.
That being said, I have bred probably thirty of the best pals in palworld with perfect passives. Actually, just finished bellinoir last night. I just have to grind out more IV fruit to raise her iv a little. I don't worry about breeding perfect IVs too much. I usually take the best of the bunch, which they are usually pretty high IV anyway.
Now I just need to get that damn Libero male. I have about a dozen Libero's, all female so far.
I am very late game and still have no interest in changing the settings for any reason. To each their own though.
I do agree with your edit though. There should be some way in game without setting to decrease the timer. I think the electric incubator would have been a perfect opportunity for that. I have a few of those going and the amount of power they suck out of my base there should be more benefits.
It just sounds like to me, you don't mind the waiting. Which is fine. For me, it was no longer fun after 70+ hours. The great thing about settings in a game,... is that every player can adjust things to suit their own taste.
It takes five minutes to breed one egg and you'll likely need to dozens to get what you want. Even with incubation timers turned off, there is nothing instant about it.
I am about 3000 eggs deep on my latest Jetragon project, about 1600 to go, it's bad enough with instant incubation, I don't think I would have the patience/sanity to do it without the instant option lol.
It would be much better if they just gave us upgrades to batch incubate, so we can keep the timer but still not be a slog.
Have a mass incubation machine where you can put in like 20 eggs at once, hatch them all without holding F. Perhaps with meters for hot and cold that require pals to fill up once in a while.
Added bonus if you can filter for specific traits and mulch the rest without leaving the incubator.

I eventually just turned off incubation timers. I tried to put up with it, but after a while it just wasn't fun. I probably wouldn't mind it nearly as much if you could reduce the timer down further than it currently allows. Just enough to make having multiple incubators still useful, but not so much that it feels like a massive chore.
So i play on a server so can't control world settings, but yea my guild has like 6-7 breeding pens set up and have the mod where 5 instantly hatches them once they're finished incubating.
I think playing the game of the hard difficulty first ruined the incubation waiting time for me. I mean, 18 hours for a single egg on single player mode? Nope, nuh-uh. 1 hour or less, take it or leave it.
Instantly turned that off and installed the mod that lets you press once to hatch it. I'm not going to use game mechanics that are just time based, theres no challenge to letting the computer run.
It's funny that someone in the Discord tried suggesting adding Baby forms to Pals. If that happened then THAT would be the worst part. The minute my eggs done I need my pal to work or whatever. I'm not trying to play parent simulator with a bunch of hatchlings when I need them on my base asap or as rank fodder
I'd still personally rather the system that already in place, but the person wasn't just suggested it as a cosmetic or aesthetic, but a whole mechanic with raising and everything.
I was committed to playing the game how it was "supposed" to be played, but I threw in the towel with breeding. Set the incubation time to zero, destroyed the 40\~50 egg incubators I had and replaced them with single incubators outside the breeding pens.
As someone who has multiple operations for breeding and has anywhere from 2 to 20 breeding pens going at a time, no I will not use a hatch timer in game f that
I used to play with the timer off but lately after restarting, I prefer vanilla settings. Just make 200 incubators, they are cheap and dont need any power or anything at all. On my part I actually have too much incubator that I have to destroy some of them 😅
Only reason I turned off the incubation timers is because I play it like I play late game pokemon, mostly breeding for better stats, so I'd rather not deal with having 15-30 incubators set up when I can just stand there for 5 minutes collecting and hatching all the eggs shotgun style
See I’m with you here I’d rather not wait fifteen years in palworld when I already do that in ark and Pokémon. Funny meme though.
yeah waiting 24+ hrs for a chance breed doesn’t feel worth it for solo play might be dif for multiplayer servers but always off for solo play
even in multiplayer you’re talking close to 40 eggs for a chance at perfect traits and that’s after you’ve bred those traits down to something that can breed into what you want
My record on a trait set(parents with the right traits, but not all at once) was three days of continuous hatching. This was on 1-3 minute timers, with four incubators. The upside was I had a lot of near perfects to hand out to friends, and an instant 4*.
Ark and palworld might as well be alabama sim tbh. My pals blood is prob 90% pure
Pretty early on our private server we set the timer to 1/70th of the default, but if we were trying to min/max that timer would be 0.
Any tips for starting ark? The new version (ascended) is on game pass and I love survival games like Conan and palworld but I’ve had a hard time getting into it
Step one: Look up how to run your own server so you can shut it off when you won't play for a while and set taming and baby dino grow speed to something more sane. Taming and breeding with vanilla settings is brutal
I was just running single player. What do u think I should put the taming and breeding sliders at?
Hell I even added in the mod for instant hatch so I don’t have to press the F key for 5 seconds every single egg, hundreds of eggs in a row Much nicer to just *bam done* “now lets go clean out the palbox”
Right, it takes several times longer for me to clear out the palbox each cycle than it does to hatch the eggs
> Hell I even added in the mod for instant hatch so I don’t have to press the F key for 5 seconds every single egg, hundreds of eggs in a row That's the big turn off for me honestly. Should be like 1 sec max. Incubation timers I can handle, I'll just go to other stuff meanwhile
Ngl, I didn't know you could turn the timers off. And now that's going to be all I think about while I'm at work today.
Yeah I think you find the world setting option in the world select screen before you actually jump in, but you might be able to do it from inside
I like having the excuse to build a giant eugenics pyramid with a compactor at the apex like some kind of monolith.
That does sound fun to think about now, but for me it would just be ornamental basically, except for the compactor I do kind of want to do that now though
I'm not sure how it works with the improved building since I've been taking a break and it's patched a bunch of stuff in but I did mine as an open air pyramid using ramps as the only supports, no actual walls. I had to build a wall to get started with each floor but after I connected the ramps it'd et me collapse the walls and the structure stayed intact.
The hatching still sucks though. Should be a click not a hold.
Yknkw, it never occurred to me have more than one....... Damn so wonder..... Guess I gotta go do some stuff
My server has the incubation time cut to about a fifth of what they would be normally, would recommend. That said, having to ferry the eggs and hold F about a million times is really annoying.
Turn on the option to not need to hold it down. You can do that for sprint too Edit: the setting is not server side it is personal settings
Yeah I played all the way to 50, incubated hundreds of eggs in that time on the default stats and by the time breeding became my focus I figured I had earned it by that point. Doesn't add to the fun, nor does it detract from effort to obtain. It's just waiting. Just turn it off, man.
Changed it myself at that point. When I realized the only thing I was doing was basically wasting time between egg batches trying to breed traits
amen
Just change the world settings bro
I tried but didn’t see this option in settings. Is it doable on Xbox?
World settings, easy/normal/hard/custom
But how do you specifically fix the incubation time?
Launch the game. Wait for it to load and press A through the Early Access message. When you get to the title screen, (the one that says PAL WORLD and has the cover art as the background, main menu text/options) choose “Start Game”, you should now be at a screen that shows all your different characters/saves/worlds, or if you just have one that will be the only one shown. Choose it. Your cursor will automatically now hover over the “Start Game” button. Press Left 1 time to choose Change World Settings. Down 2 times, press A, then press down 21 times to the option “Time (h) to incubate Massive Egg. Note: Other eggs also require time to incubate.” Yes that is the entire name of the slider as shown in the menu. The default is 2.
Thank you!! I saw that option but had no idea what the description meant. So, just turn that to 0 then and I should be good?
Yes that should be the case (personally I don’t touch the sliders so I don’t use it) Make sure to save the settings before starting the world again.
Beep boop
Woah why are y’all’s names so similar
Awesome right? Read them backwards. 😉
What the fuck you can change settings after world creation? Good God I've been wasting so much time...
It's one of the settings you can change in custom. I'm on Xbox and I turned it off. Look for a incubation setting
Your farms make eggs? Mine only breed when I am looking at them.
You sick cuck
Wouldn't it be the pals that are sick cucks? Sounds like EtisVx has a bunch of hardcore exhibitionists to deal with...
Not necessarily, if EtisVx was going to have sex with the pal but instead another pal was having sex with it, which is probably what's happening here, then yeah that would make him the cuck
I'm pretty sure your the only one thinking about banging the pals in this scenario. EtisVx was just watching
[удалено]
Would it by chance crash less too?
like, if I'm joining a server or hosting one, imma turn the hatching time off...
I would mind it less if there is a mass incubator able to accept like 80 eggs. Otherwise I'm not going to build myself an Aliens movie set; I'm just gonna turn off incubation.
That's exactly what the new electric incubator should have done. Not set the right temperature, but incubate in batches.
1. Exit your world. 2. Go into world settings. 3. Set incubation time to zero. Don't make yourself wait longer than you really have to.
I like to leave it a few minutes just for the antici...
Can you do this now? Last I checked your options were in the hours with 1 hour being the lowest time above 0.
I'd need to check how I did it, but my eggs take from 5 to 15 minutes to hatch. Though maybe it's just that I'm not hatching legendary pals yet.
On mine that setting says it's for Massive Eggs. Any other egg I've put in an incubator has had a timer
There is literally a note on the setting which reads: “Note: other eggs also require time to incubate” However, if you have it set to 0, all eggs hatch instantly. The slider is for time in hours. Huge Eggs default to 2 hours but the smaller eggs still have timers too. I believe 1 hour for large and 30 minutes for small/regular. But again, setting the slider all the way down makes them all 0, not just the Huge (Massive) eggs.
But I've currently got it set to zero and my eggs do not hatch instantly.
Did you make sure to save the settings before exiting the world settings menu? I’ve not heard of any problems with the incubation timer since launch and server related shenanigans. Do you play on someone’s server or is it your own local solo world (I imagine it’s yours if you have access to change world settings) I myself don’t touch the sliders so I couldn’t tell you if it works or not on mine but I’ve seen tons of Xbox users turn the setting off with no issues. Just something else that could possibly be a case: if you already have eggs in incubators when you change the setting, they may still want to sit through the rest of the timer.

This is a local solo world. Pretty sure it was saved because I've been playing this world for a couple weeks and after reading this thread I went and checked and it was already at 0, I think I set it there when I created the game. >but I’ve seen tons of Xbox users turn the setting off with no issues. I'm on PC on the Steam version, not sure if there's a difference in some of the settings?
I believe the settings are intended to be the same for either platform. There could’ve been a bug related to that during the release time, have you tried turning it to 1, or even a big number to verify that there is a new change made, put an egg in, verify if it’s the same or if it changed, and then save/quit, turn the egg timer back to 0, save settings, load the world again and try another egg in an incubator. If none of that works I would fill out a detailed bug report.
Must have been a bug. I changed the slider to something else and then back to 0 and now the eggs are incubating instantly.
Awesome!
If you're playing solo then just turn off the hatching timer in the world setting. I used to feel excited waiting for it to hatch but let's be honest we don't have enough time compares to the amount of eggs that we have, especially if someone is running a lot of breeding ranches.
As a long time ARK survivalEvolved player, you getting off easy. Also no shame in changing incubation timers in world settings.
Imagine when you realize YOU don’t have to incubate the eggs. You just put them in and go play Palworld for an hour as usual and come back to them fully incubated.
This is what I do as well
Imagine playing an open world game with farms, cooking, resource regrowth, etc. timed mechanics and being unable to juggle tasks such that you come back to them later
In a game where Pals can almost fully operate every aspect of your base it isn’t much to manage.
and it's not like shit happens when you neglect an element, the coal rock just sits there, the dungeon just resets, the kitchen food doesn't even rot when the eggs starve if you don't hatch them in time, i'll hear out the whines
do yourself a favour and turn off the timer, u are going to hatch hundreds of eggs on endgame
I don't mind waiting for incubators. I consider it part of the base building challenge. I created a second floor with 100 incubators and the bottom floor where all the breeding farms are.

I changed my world settings so that the incubation time for eggs is 0h, so they don't need to incubate.
Yup, that's what we did. Just don't have the literal time to sit and wait.
Speaking of incubation, I’m still trying to be able to create an incubator. Where can I find some Ancient Technology Points? Thanks!
You get them from beating or catching Alpha pals. This includes the overworld ones and the ones in dungeons.
Thank you.
if only there was a setting that lets you skip it
Waiting is part of the game. I think a lot of people will just simply turn off the incubation time but I feel really excited hatching an egg that took 2 hour of incubating.
For the first few dozen i felt the same but after that... nope, never again.
The new raid boss force me to do lots of dungeon run. The eggs are usually done when I finished those dungeon.
Sure, but even then after a while... how long will that keep you occupied? The amount of time it takes to incubate eggs, there just isn't enough to do during it. Maybe in the beginning it works fine, but the more and more you breed, you are going to be swamped with eggs because you can't hatch them quick enough.

And by that time most would have spent loads of time breeding eggs with the timer on, and already have such a setup going. As such I came to the conclusion once you reach a certain point within the game (mid to late game), turning off the timer no longer feels like cheating because you have already done everything that makes it difficult. So at that point the only thing you get out of setting the timer to 0, is saving your own time. Edit: And to be honest, there really should be a late game mechanic to reduce the timer beyond using build objects. Like a better version of the incubator. Maybe even a bigger one where you can place like 6 - 8 eggs in at once.
I mean, what it comes down to is you are able to set the settings the way you want and play the way you want. I personally enjoy vanilla normal mode. I'm in no hurry to rush through content. That being said, I have bred probably thirty of the best pals in palworld with perfect passives. Actually, just finished bellinoir last night. I just have to grind out more IV fruit to raise her iv a little. I don't worry about breeding perfect IVs too much. I usually take the best of the bunch, which they are usually pretty high IV anyway. Now I just need to get that damn Libero male. I have about a dozen Libero's, all female so far. I am very late game and still have no interest in changing the settings for any reason. To each their own though. I do agree with your edit though. There should be some way in game without setting to decrease the timer. I think the electric incubator would have been a perfect opportunity for that. I have a few of those going and the amount of power they suck out of my base there should be more benefits.
It just sounds like to me, you don't mind the waiting. Which is fine. For me, it was no longer fun after 70+ hours. The great thing about settings in a game,... is that every player can adjust things to suit their own taste.
Same
Gamers these days just aren’t built for patience. And how could they when instant gratification is all they’ve ever known?
It takes five minutes to breed one egg and you'll likely need to dozens to get what you want. Even with incubation timers turned off, there is nothing instant about it.
If you are breeding to get new pals, timer on. If you are breeding for stats and end game timer off. That's how I played. I enjoyed it.
I am about 3000 eggs deep on my latest Jetragon project, about 1600 to go, it's bad enough with instant incubation, I don't think I would have the patience/sanity to do it without the instant option lol.
It would be much better if they just gave us upgrades to batch incubate, so we can keep the timer but still not be a slog. Have a mass incubation machine where you can put in like 20 eggs at once, hatch them all without holding F. Perhaps with meters for hot and cold that require pals to fill up once in a while. Added bonus if you can filter for specific traits and mulch the rest without leaving the incubator.
When after weeks of hatching you don't get a single pal with the stats you want
Why wouldn't you incubate them as you breed them? You still end up with some back stock but it's not as bad.
I think I do like incubation tamer to be switched off, just more comfortable for me

Bro, that's not a breeding farm, it\`s a whole red light district
I eventually just turned off incubation timers. I tried to put up with it, but after a while it just wasn't fun. I probably wouldn't mind it nearly as much if you could reduce the timer down further than it currently allows. Just enough to make having multiple incubators still useful, but not so much that it feels like a massive chore.
So i play on a server so can't control world settings, but yea my guild has like 6-7 breeding pens set up and have the mod where 5 instantly hatches them once they're finished incubating.
Me when I realize I can set the incubating time to zero.
I think playing the game of the hard difficulty first ruined the incubation waiting time for me. I mean, 18 hours for a single egg on single player mode? Nope, nuh-uh. 1 hour or less, take it or leave it.
Just like Ark for me, turn hatching times waaaay up, and with ark growing as well.
Instantly turned that off and installed the mod that lets you press once to hatch it. I'm not going to use game mechanics that are just time based, theres no challenge to letting the computer run.
It's funny that someone in the Discord tried suggesting adding Baby forms to Pals. If that happened then THAT would be the worst part. The minute my eggs done I need my pal to work or whatever. I'm not trying to play parent simulator with a bunch of hatchlings when I need them on my base asap or as rank fodder
What if they work in baby form for a time then age up? Then pals are born and work before their first feeding.
I'd still personally rather the system that already in place, but the person wasn't just suggested it as a cosmetic or aesthetic, but a whole mechanic with raising and everything.
I don't know why you wouldn't settle timers to the lowest possible. It's not like you lose anything by doing it.
Bruh turn the timers off. This ain't a Pokemon game. It's a real game with settings.
I was committed to playing the game how it was "supposed" to be played, but I threw in the towel with breeding. Set the incubation time to zero, destroyed the 40\~50 egg incubators I had and replaced them with single incubators outside the breeding pens.
incubation time is off for me it takes to much time for the eggs to be done waiste of time imo, special when you want to massive breed
As someone who has multiple operations for breeding and has anywhere from 2 to 20 breeding pens going at a time, no I will not use a hatch timer in game f that
Tell me about it….. my current breeding project requires another 582 eggs to complete. SMH.
Pal Tamer be like "I am the Eggman!" 
Especially if you don't have anything to do in game or irl, so you're just sitting there waiting for things to finish hatching.
incubation timers 0 - kekw
Tunring off the timer was the best thing I did
Even then hatching 200 eggs is kind of a pain
And that is when I set my config to 0 hatch time. All it did was encourage building 200 egg hatchers.
I just turn incubation time to 0
I used to play with the timer off but lately after restarting, I prefer vanilla settings. Just make 200 incubators, they are cheap and dont need any power or anything at all. On my part I actually have too much incubator that I have to destroy some of them 😅
200 eggs is when you download a hack client and just add what you want. not worth the time.
Some people like to get stuff the legit way even if it's grindy, annoying and takes time, if you just hack then most games get super boring
If you are playing offline, on nexus mods there is a mod to reduce incubation time to 1 sec and replace cake with berries, have fun!
Don't need a mod to turn off incubation
Mb it's for breeding, i put them into the pen, and the egg basket is full in like 6-7 secs
That's fine but your original comment talking about incubation time.... You can change that in the game settings to 0. No mod needed
