In addition to digging your way through the ground in Core Keeper, you can tend to your base, grow crops, take care of animals, and even hatch eggs. Hatching eggs can be done pretty early into the game providing you with pets that can help you as you explore the world.
Before using a pet, you will need to hatch one from an egg, which is done from an Egg Incubator. In this guide, we are going to take a look at how you can make your own Egg Incubator. Overall, the process is fairly simple, but this will help you get on the fast track to egg hatching.
How To Make An Egg Incubator
Copper Workbench
The Egg Incubator can be made right from the Copper Workbench, which requires the following materials.
- 8x Wood
- 6x Copper Bar
If you only have a higher-quality workbench, don't worry! From your highest-tier workbench, you can click the up and down arrows on the lefthand side of the items. This will display other quality stations, allowing you to build everything up to your current tier.
Egg Incubator
With a Copper Workbench placed, you will then be able to make the Egg Incubator with the following materials.
- 8x Copper Bar
- 8x Glass Piece
Glass can be made from the Glass Smelter (also crafted with the Copper Workbench). This is a kiln-like piece of equipment that turns sand into glass.
How To Use The Egg Incubator
To use your Egg Incubator, you will first need some electricity. Thankfully, this can also be accomplished with the help of the Copper Workbench. Here, you can make the Electronics Table. From the table, you can then make a generator and wires, allowing you to set up your Egg Incubator.
When your Egg Incubator has power, its yellow lights will turn on. From here, you just need to toss an egg in! The incubation process is kind of long, but you can track its progress from the Egg Incubator's menu. The square on the right side displays an overlay meter that will gradually go down. Once the egg is visible and the meter is down to the bottom, the egg will be ready!
Eggs can be looted from chests and crates, as well as found from digging spots, which are marked with an 'X' on the ground.
