HatchingPaleggsinPalworldis a great way to add new creatures to your ever-growing roster. While you can always battle Pals out in the world and snag them with a Pal Sphere, hatching eggs is a much easier way of getting higher-rarity Pals early on, since you won’t have to risk getting into a fight with them.
If you do decide to go the combat route, you’ll need a squad of thebest Palsto back you up. APalworld mountcan also help in combat, or if you want a fast way to explore the map to look for eggs. Either way, here’s how to hatch the Pal eggs you find around the map, and build the Egg Incubator you need to do it.

Here’s what it costs to build:
All of this is pretty easy to acquire except theAncient Civilization Parts. Sadly, you’ll have to beat another boss to get these, namely, one of the Alpha Pals you can find roaming the world. After you’ve squirrelled together the necessary materials, you can finally build an Egg Incubator in your base.

The second thing you’ll need to hatch eggs is… well, an egg. Not just any egg mind you, so don’t go whacking a Chikipee egg in there just to see what happens. No, you need Pal eggs, which you can find while out exploring the open world. These eggs areeasy to recognise due to their large size and patterned exteriors. Common eggs are striped with pink and white, while Uncommon Eggs seem to be coloured and named for the type of Pal they’ll hatch.
For example, the Large Verdant Egg pictured above—coloured shades of green—hatched a Dinossom, which is an uncommon Grass-type Pal. To hatch a new Pal, simply select the Egg Incubator, place the egg you want inside, and then sit back and wait.
The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals
The amount of time it takes to hatch an eggdepends on both its rarity and how hot it is, so you’re always better off hatching eggs during the day, though with some rarer ones it might take a whole day and night before they’re ready. Once the timer has run out, head over to the Incubator and hold F to hatch your new Pal.
How to hatch eggs faster
As mentioned above, egg hatch times depends on a number of factors:
While you can’t do anything about rarity, you can do something about those other two. First off, the difficulty you select in custom settings changes egg incubation time.The higher the difficulty the longer eggs will take to hatch, so bear that in mind when creating future worlds.
The other thing you can do is alter the temperature around the egg. If you walk up to an active Egg Incubator, it’ll list the status of the egg as either being too hot or too cold, in which case you should build either a heater or a cooler to give it the ideal environment.
A cooler will require a cooling Pal to operate it like Pengullet, while a heater requires a kindling Pal like Foxparks. Changing the temperature around the egg will make for more ideal hatching conditions and reduce the timer. It’s also worth noting that it’s harder to reach ideal conditions for rarer eggs, so you’ll need a Pal with a higher level of kindling or cooling like Arsox or Sweepa.
