How many eggs do I need to save?

[Miretar]

I would like to cook every recipe, make a few jars of mayonnaise and have some left over to make the occasional birth or holiday treat Can anyone give me a ballpark figure?

How many to produce total to cover everything you'll ever want eggs for? Ummm... I dunno... in one of my saves, just entered year 4, I have almost 200 eggs in my fridge, and not too terribly long ago I made 200 pink cakes (which each require an egg) because I needed to cook 100k in food for a reward (late game stuff). Then there's all the other eggs I've turned into mayo over three years. I'd guess... 3 years... with 112 days in a year... I've had 5 chickens most of that time... over 1000 easy if you play like me, though that means I've produced roughly 1500 eggs and only have about 200 right now, so I've used 1300 so far, and that doesn't count eggs other than chicken eggs.

It says eight eggs total. Not including mayo The wiki has a nice little grocery list if you want to see what each and every ingredient needed for all recipes for completion

I've been told this is a spoiler so marking it. There is an omelet event that is a special request. You deliver 2 dozen eggs and he makes an omelet the size of a pool table

The spoiler requires you to gather eggs, so no stockpiling for that...

True but any egg counts asking as it's not slime or roe. So 24 void eggs would work......but probably taste horrible

Also until ts patched you can exploit an auto grabber.....put eggs in sleep a day and then recollect. A scummy way but it works.

To be fair, this is the minimum, and just for cooking. You also need 2 mayo for cooking, so that's 2 more. There's Complete Shipment, which is 7 more eggs, and each of those is specific, along with 3 specific mayos. There's the CC that will require 3 specific eggs, and you'll probably have to cook up an extra fried egg for that too (this is without scrambling the CC, obviously), and you'll probably need another specific egg too after that even for 5 more. We're up to 25 total, and as I said, specific eggs for some of them. At least you'll probably get more smalls than the minimum needed before you get all the larges you'll need.

Still, just to reiterate... this is the bare minimum, and unlikely to be all you'll need to produce to get all you need through everything in the game.

Right thanks everyone. You are all invited to a free breakfast buffet at Hesperis Farm. Mushroom & Swiss omelettes made to order, hash browns, pancakes & maple syrup and fresh fruit.

FYI it is easiest to just buy flour from pierre and make bread. You lose some money, but if you are at a point where you're doing missions from mr. qi for gems, you shouldn't be hurting for cash.
