Incubation
The Incubation Module is a ship placeable that turns pet eggs (found on exploration runs) into new roster pets. It is the primary way to expand your pet collection beyond your starting companion.
- Place the module on the ship and open it to see eggs in your inventory that can be incubated.
- Starting incubation consumes an egg and runs a timer on the module (pause-aware like training).
- When the timer completes, you name the new pet and add it to your roster. Some eggs also charge bits, ship fuel, and/or inventory items when you start incubation (shown in the module modal before Start. Cancel while the timer runs refunds the egg and those resources).
- Roster cap rises with research and game progression. Check the UI before starting a hatch.
- Eggs are normal inventory items from exploration run loot (not auto runs). See artifact and egg items in the wiki catalog.
- Different egg types correspond to different pet species. See the Pet species catalog in the wiki sidebar.
