Eggs System

6 min Updated: 2026-07-21 Game Version: 1.0

Complete guide to Palworld 1.0 eggs: types, incubator, temperature, and 1.0 Vegetable Cake double-egg hatching.

Mechanism

The egg system is a primary way to obtain pals. Eggs come from the wild or breeding, and must be placed in an incubator with the right temperature to hatch. Different element eggs need different temperature environments.

Hatching workflow

  1. 1. Obtain an egg

    Find wild eggs or get them from the Breeding Farm. Wild eggs spawn at random map locations.

  2. 2. Unlock the incubator

    Reach player level 19 to unlock the Incubator (Ancient Tech). Build it and insert the egg.

  3. 3. Control temperature

    Place the egg in a matching temperature zone. Cold eggs in cold areas, hot eggs in hot areas.

  4. 4. Wait for hatching

    Hatching takes time; optimal temperature speeds it up. 1.0 Vegetable Cake enables double-egg hatching.

  5. 5. Collect the pal

    Once hatched, take the pal and add it to your pal box.
