Incubator (Technical)
The Incubator converts an Egg into a creature or Spaceworm by combining the egg's base Stability with optional liquid and petal bonuses.
Input slots
The machine needs an Egg and may accept a fluid and petal matching the tooltip. Before starting, confirm that the machine shows the expected Stability calculation.
Stability calculation
Final chance = base Stability + liquid bonus + petal bonus
Each correct match adds 15 percentage points, and the result cannot exceed 100%.
Safe operating procedure
- Drain any leftover fluid that does not match the next egg.
- Insert the favored liquid in the required amount.
- Add the favored petal.
- Insert the Egg last.
- Confirm the final percentage before committing.
- Let the machine finish without breaking or moving it.
- Collect the hatchling immediately and move it to the correct enclosure or Wormsoil.
Failure handling
A failed conversion returns a Rotten Egg rather than the intended baby. Record the attempted setup anyway: a failure does not mean the clues were wrong; it may simply be the unsuccessful side of the displayed probability.
Testing unknown combinations
Use common eggs first. Change one input at a time, note whether the UI adds 15%, and publish confirmed matches for other players. This avoids wasting rare fluids while building a reliable discovery chart.
