4. 🐣 Ostrich Incubator Crafting and Usage
· Once Professor Snail's collection is complete, you will learn the Ostrich Incubator crafting recipe. It can be crafted with the following materials:
· The incubator must be placed in a Barn, not a Coop, as ostriches are too large for Coops.
· Multiple incubators can be placed in a Barn.
· Click the incubator while holding an egg to start incubation, which takes 9 days and 10 hours.
· Even if multiple ostrich eggs are ready to hatch, only one will hatch each time you enter the barn. You must exit and re-enter the barn for additional eggs to hatch.
· If the barn reaches its maximum capacity, ostrich eggs will not hatch until space is available.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bone Fragments | 50 |
| Hardwood | 50 |
| Cinder Shards | 20 (Obtained in Volcano Dungeon) |
