There are a large variety of ways to get new Pals inPalworld. Of course, catching them inPal Spheresis the primary method, but that’s rather limited by where you go and the time of day - indeed, alternative methods such as purchasing them or freeing them from cages allows you to get rare Pals quite easily.
One way to get Pals is to hatch them from eggs found across the land. Every now and then, you’ll come across colourful eggs that promise to hold Pals. Unfortunately, hatching them isn’t as simple as getting a Chikipi to sit on them for a while - you’ll need a special bit of gear.
Palworld is currently in Early Access, so the information presented below is liable to change as development progresses.
How To Build An Egg Incubator
TheEgg Incubatoris the machine you’ll need to build in order to hatch those eggs you’ve been collecting. In Palworld, the Egg Incubator is categorised as ‘Ancient Technology’, meaning you’ll need to unlock it withAncient Technology Pointsrather than regular Technology Points.
To get Ancient Technology Points, you’ll have todefeat bosses, whether they be the leader of a Syndicate Tower or the powerful Pals who get highlighted on the map when you encounter them.
In addition to some common materials, you’ll also need twoAncient Civilization Partsto build the Incubator. You’ll also obtain these frombosses.
Bosses respawnafter a certain amount of time, soAncient Civilization Parts can be farmed infinitely.
In total, you’ll needten Paldium Fragments, five Cloth, 30 Stone, and two Ancient Civilization Partsto craft the Incubator.
How To Hatch Eggs Using The Incubator
Hatching a Pal Egg in the Incubator is as easy asinteracting with it and transferring the egg from your inventory to the machine. As soon as you’ve done that, a countdown will begin until the egg is ready to hatch.
You can modify this countdown bymaking the Incubator’s temperature match the best temperature for the egg inside.
Many eggs will preferheat, so placing aCampfire or a Heaternext to the Incubator will cut the time the egg requires to hatch significantly. Other eggs, such as Damp Eggs, will prefer thecold, so you can useCoolers(not Cooler Boxes) to speed up hatching.
Some eggs will prefer neither heat nor cold. The goal, when trying to hatch eggs quickly, is to make the message displayed below the timer read ‘seems very comfortable’ - this level of comfort will effectively halve the time spent incubating.
Once the timer is complete, all that’s left is to interact with the Incubator. You’ll find out what Pal was inside, and they’ll be automaticallyadded to your Palbox.
