If you are reading this, you've completed all the previous steps and now have a Fertilized Egg in your inventory. The final stage is cultivation, turning that fertilized egg into a living creature.

Process

1. Place the Egg in the Incubator
   Open the Incubator
   Insert the fertilized egg into any of the 5 available slots
   Cultivation begins automatically

2. Wait for Cultivation
   After a short period (around 5 minutes, depending on settings), the incubator will output a Hatched Egg

3. Retrieve the Hatched Egg
   Carefully remove the hatched egg from the incubator
   Handle with care — dropping it will destroy the egg

4. Place the Egg in the World
   Right-click on the ground to place the hatched egg
   The egg will begin the hatching process

5. Support the Creature
   Ensure you have the basics ready (food, shelter, environment)
   Without proper care, the newborn creature may not survive

Next Steps

Congratulations! You've successfully cultivated your first prehistoric egg.
From here, you can begin raising your creature, experimenting with genetics, or expanding your park.

Tips

• Keep multiple incubators running to speed up your park's growth
• Always prepare food and habitat before hatching — newborns are fragile
• Track incubation times; different species may vary slightly
• Avoid carrying hatched eggs recklessly — they are delicate until placed
