Relevant Incubator
Egg incubation in ARK: Survival Ascended has always been a test of patience and environmental planning. You build a dedicated hatchery, manage temperatures, and pray that a heatwave or cold snap doesn't ruin your prized fertilized eggs. The Relevant Incubator changes all of that. This add-on introduces a single, powered structure that handles the entire incubation process for you, allowing you to focus on taming, building, and exploring instead of babysitting eggs.
What Is the Relevant Incubator?
The Relevant Incubator is a new, player-crafted structure designed to completely bypass the traditional temperature requirements for egg hatching. Instead of relying on air conditioners, campfires, or torches, you simply place this device, provide it with power, and drop your eggs nearby. The incubator creates a controlled micro-environment that allows any fertilized egg to develop and hatch successfully, regardless of the outside weather conditions. Whether you are in the freezing mountains of the north or the scorching desert, your eggs will be safe.
Key Features and Benefits
- Universal Incubation: Works with any fertilized egg in the game, from Dodo to Giganotosaurus.
- Weather Independent: Hatch eggs in blizzards, heatwaves, or rainstorms without any issues.
- Simple Power Requirement: Connect it to your base's electrical grid using a generator or other power source.
- Compact Design: Takes up minimal space, making it perfect for dedicated hatcheries or small bases.
- Reliable Performance: No more failed eggs due to slight temperature fluctuations.
How to Craft and Use the Incubator
Getting your hands on this device is straightforward. First, you will need to reach player level 65 and have 45 engram points available to unlock the blueprint. Once learned, you can craft the Relevant Incubator in a Fabricator. The required resources are:
- 150 Metal Ingots
- 50 Electronics
- 30 Polymer
- 10 Crystal
After crafting, place the structure on a flat surface in your base. Connect it to your power grid, activate it, and then simply drop any fertilized egg within its radius. The incubator will immediately begin the process, and you will see the egg's health bar stabilize as it progresses toward hatching. The structure handles everything, so you can walk away and return to a freshly hatched baby.
