Palworld – Egg Hatching Guide and Tips

In deze gids, I’ll teach you how to hatch the perfect pal from eggs in Palworld. We’re focusing on achieving the best hatching temperatures, based on what I’ve observed and tested in the game.

Environment Temperature

The first major question revolves around understanding what affects and what doesn’t affect egg hatching in Palworld. This knowledge is crucial because incorrect actions won’t yield desired results. It’s essential to note that egg-hatching temperature mirrors player temperature, Op enkele uitzonderingen na.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Normaal, average climates maintain a resting temperature of -1 segment on the dial.
• Tropical climates, like the forested area north of the marshlands, have a resting temperature of 0.
• Cold and snowy regions have a resting temperature of -3.
• Deserts have a resting temperature of +2.
• The volcano boasts a resting temperature of +3.

These temperatures apply during the day. Echter, 's nachts, biomes experience temperature decreases, resulting in the following adjustments:

• Average climates now rest at -2 (omlaag 1).
• Tropical climates remain at 0 (unchanged).
• Cold and snowy climates rest at -3 (omlaag 1).
• Deserts experience a significant change, now resting at -3 (omlaag 5).
• The volcano’s resting temperature decreases to +1 (omlaag 2).

Understanding Placeable Heat and Cold Sources

What Does What?

• Campfires passively increase the temperature nearby by 1.
• Heaters elevate the temperature nearby by 1 as long as a Pal with Kindling proficiency operates the heater. Proficiency level doesn’t affect effectiveness; a level 1 kindling heats as effectively as a level 3 kindling.
• Coolers passively lower the temperature nearby by 1 with a Pal possessing Cooling proficiency at the cooler. Similar to heaters, proficiency level doesn’t matter.
• Electric heaters and electric coolers require both a Pal and electricity to operate but change the temperature by 2 segments instead of 1.

Source Interactions

• Multiples of a temperature source do not stack. Placing 100 campfires will yield the same temperature increase as placing 1.
• Different temperature sources also do not stack. Combining a campfire and electric heater will only result in a net +2 temperature change.
• Hot and cold sources similarly do not stack. If both a hot and cold source affect the same area, the cold source is overridden, and the temperature is only modified by the hot source.

What Doesn’t Affect Temperature

• Enclosing the incubator in a structure doesn’t impact the temperature.
• Deploying a fire-type Pal heats the player by one segment but doesn’t affect the environment temperature, thus not influencing eggs.
• As previously mentioned, multiples of a temperature source don’t stack.
• Cooking pots, despite resembling campfires and sharing some functions, don’t emit heat.

Egg Temperature Requirements

Er zijn 9 egg types, each corresponding to one of the elements a Pal can possess. Eggs come in three sizes: normaal, groot, and huge, but size doesn’t affect their temperature requirements.

Each egg has an “ideal” temperatuur. At this temperature, incubation speed doubles, indicated by the status text “seems very comfortable.” Being 1 segment off reduces the bonus to x1.5, with the status text indicating “seems just a little hot/cold.” Being 2 segments off reduces the bonus to x1, with the status text changing to “seems a little hot/cold.” Being more than 2 segments off changes the status text to “seems very hot/cold,” but incubation speed isn’t further impacted until you reach 4 segments away from ideal, causing incubation speed to drop to -25%.

• Gewoon (also known as “Normal type”), Verdant (Grass), and Electric eggs have an ideal temperature of 0. This can be achieved using a campfire or normal heater in any average climate or by placing the incubator in a tropical area.
• Damp (Water), Dark, and Frozen (Ijs) eggs have an ideal temperature of -1, equivalent to an average climate during the day.
• Rocky (Steen), Draak, and Scorching (Vuur) eggs have an ideal temperature of +1, requiring an electric heater or a warmer climate for maximum hatching speed.

So What Does this Mean?

A brief important note: Desert areas seem to have unusual effects on egg temperature, oorzaak -1 temperature eggs to forget their ideal temperatures. In certain spots of the desert, -1 temperature eggs become +2 temperature eggs. This seems to be a bug and doesn’t make sense logically. Until this issue is resolved, it’s advisable to avoid deserts. Echter, for the purpose of advice, I’ll proceed as if desert climates behaved “normaal,” but keep in mind the bug when planning.

You can achieve ideal temperatures with the following setups:

Normaal, Grass, or Electric Eggs (0)

• Tropical biome at any time.
• Any temperate biome during the day with a heater. Using a heater allows for more temperature control and enables hatching any kind of egg with one incubator. Echter, once night falls, the egg becomes too cold.
• Any temperate biome during the day with a campfire. While functionally identical to the heater for this purpose, campfires cannot be turned off. As with the heater, the egg becomes too cold once night falls.
• Any temperate biome at night using an electric heater. Note that the egg becomes too hot once day breaks.
• Deserts during the day using an electric cooler. Note that the egg becomes far too cold once night falls.
• The volcano at night with a cooler. Even with the cooler, the egg becomes much too hot once day breaks.

Water, Dark, and Ice Eggs (-1)

• Temperate biomes during the day. Once night falls, the egg becomes too cold.
• Temperate biomes at night with a heater. Once day breaks, the egg becomes too hot.
• Temperate biomes at night with a campfire. Once day breaks, the egg becomes too hot.
• Snowy areas during the day with an electric heater. Once night falls, the egg becomes too cold.
• Deserts at night with an electric heater. Once day breaks, the egg becomes much too hot.

Vuur, Steen, and Dragon Eggs (+1)

• The tropical biome with a heater.
• The tropical biome with a campfire.
• Any temperate biome during the day with an electric heater. Once night falls, the egg becomes too cold.
• Deserts during the day with a cooler. Once night falls, the egg becomes much too cold.
• The volcano at night. Once day breaks, the egg becomes too hot.
• The volcano during the day with an electric cooler. Once night falls, the egg becomes much too cold.

Overall Hatchery Building Tips

The optimal location for a hatchery is the tropical area. Its consistent median temperature around the clock eliminates the need for expensive and bulky electric heaters and coolers.

The next best option is temperate climates. While you may not achieve ideal temperatures around the clock for +1 temperature eggs even with an electric heater, sleeping through the nights can still make it work. Aanvullend, temperate climates are ideal for hatching -1 temperature eggs without any heating or cooling requirements.

Other biomes have temperatures that are too extreme or fluctuate too wildly to effectively hatch eggs.

It’s essential to remember that these temperatures are not strict requirements. You can hatch very hot or very cold eggs, but it will take twice as long.

A practical setup involves placing one incubator in a tropical area and positioning one heater and one cooler next to it. You can then assign or unassign pals to these based on the needs of the egg you’re hatching.

alternatief, if you prefer to have one hatchery for each temperature, using a campfire for the heated incubator is a better choice since it doesn’t require Pal labor and can remain on indefinitely if needed.
