Simple incubator

[Common SV farmer]

Hello.

Currently in SV you can craft incubator for slimes and after 1.5 update also for ostriches . But why you still can't craft simple incubator for chicken and duck eggs ? This device allow save many money in the beginning (mystic trader sell various eggs often enough) and later will help fast breed many blue and golden chickens without coopmaster profession .

The coop spawns with an incubator, it's one of the machines next to the hay trough.

The Incubator is a tool used to hatch eggs. It comes with the Big Coop and the Deluxe Coop, where it appears to the left of the Hay Hopper.

I think he means he'd like to be able to do have more than 1 egg cooking at a time.

I mean, majority of eggs in the early game hatch very quickly and if you are impatient you could just buy hatchlings from Marnie. By the time you are able to get rarer eggs like dinosaurs that take longer, you should be more than able to afford an extra coop or fairy dust.
I have had 2 coops (both now maxed) and never had the need for an extra incubator.
Assuming you craft one per coop you will only ever use it a few times unless you feel the need to sell ever second chicken or you want to fill your entire farm with coops, and you decide you want your hatches a week sooner. (There is also a perk to double speed of hatching)

I'm not opposed to the idea, just don't see much point.

fairy dust.

Can you use this stuff on an incubator?

Not 100% sure, but if it doesn't then I honestly think it should

No fairy dust doesn't work on incubators or slime incubators

Yeah I gave it a try even though I really didn't think it would work. I've never heard of it, and of course it didn't work. I guess that would take the horrible suspense and countless hours of waiting fun out of hatching your own egg. It might be nice to have though if you've already hatched an egg of that animal and just want to speed up the hatching for convenience. I mean, if there can be witches and fairies and monsters, why not instantly hatching eggs?
