Function

The Slime Incubator is used to hatch Slime Eggs:

  • Place a Slime Egg into the incubator, and after approximately 1-3 days of game time, it will hatch into a Slime of the corresponding color.
  • Hatchable egg types:
    • Green Slime Egg
    • Blue Slime Egg
    • Red Slime Egg
    • Purple Slime Egg
    • Tiger Slime Egg

Usage Tips

  • Mainly used for breeding Slimes inside the Slime Hutch.
  • Different colored Slime Eggs produce different colored Slimes.
  • Slimes drop Slime and Petrified Slime when killed, which can be recycled to craft more incubators.
  • Purple and Tiger Slime Eggs are of high value; consider selling them instead of hatching.
  • Hatched Slimes will produce Slime Balls, which can be collected for resources.

Use in conjunction with the Slime Hutch for better results:

  • The Slime Hutch is built by Robin for 10,000g + 500 Stone + 10 Refined Quartz + 1 Iridium Bar.
  • Can hold up to 20 Slimes.
  • Slimes will produce Slime Balls, which contain Slime and Petrified Slime.
