# Incubator

The Incubator is a mid-stage machine used to safely develop fertilized eggs into hatch-ready eggs.  
It provides a controlled environment that regulates temperature, humidity, and stability, ensuring proper embryo development for prehistoric species.

---

## Functionality

- **Type**: Egg incubation machine
- **Processes**: Fertilized eggs into hatched eggs ready for placement
- **Capacity**: 5 eggs simultaneously
- **Incubation Time**: Varies based on species size and egg type
- **Visual Feedback**: Displays animations during operation
- **Automation**: Automatically maintains ideal incubation conditions

---

## Usage

1. Insert a fertilized egg into an input slot (up to 5 eggs)
2. The incubator begins cultivation automatically
3. Monitor progress through visual animations
4. Once complete, collect the hatched egg from the output slot
5. Place the hatched egg in the world to spawn the creature

For detailed information on the egg creation and hatching process, see the [**Cultivating Eggs Guide**]($guides/cultivating_eggs).

---

## Accepted Inputs

The Incubator accepts fertilized eggs of all species:
- Fertilized Chicken Eggs
- Fertilized Frog Eggs
- Fertilized Ostrich Eggs
- Fertilized Fish Eggs
- Fertilized Basilisk Eggs
- Fertilized Spider Eggs
- Fertilized Alligator Eggs

---

## Outputs

- Hatched eggs ready to be placed in the world
- Each hatched egg corresponds to its input species

## Trivia
- The Incubator is inspired by the hatchery scenes in *Jurassic Park* (1993), where dinosaur eggs were carefully monitored and hatched in controlled laboratory environments
- The Incubator can process up to 5 eggs simultaneously, making it efficient for mass-producing creatures
- The visual animations provide feedback on incubation progress, similar to how real-world incubators display vital signs
- The Incubator operates without requiring any fuel or power source, focusing on convenience for park management
