Egg timer 99.59.59 for every single egg?

[Aston]

Hi, not sure what has caused this issue, was working fine last night. Suddenly every single egg i put in my incubator says a ridiculously long time to hatch.

Incubation time was set to 1, now changed to 0, yet the timer remains that long and I can't hatch anything. Help please.

try building your incubator elsewhere.. also, the environment influences the timer.. make sure you are not trying to hatch an ice egg in a lava volcano.

@khel - as mentioned, zero issues yesterday night, same egg, i had the instant timer set. so it hatches immediately (occasionally level 1 set so it hatches under an hour). But now, setting to 0 sends it to infinity, whereas other levels work.

So its a bug when you set timer to 0 apparently...? but not sure what changed overnight

Even if this was the case those timers he mentioned are actually absurd.

There is a world setting that can change the timer of eggs, so you probably changed it too high or something as you can also just set it to 0 and make them instantly done.

oh, I didn't know that it's possible to change that.. then probably is a bug.

@umbral i already set it to 0, yet it shows 99.59.59 and doesnt move at all... hence the issue

I really wouldn't suggest setting it to 0... 1 is fine, takes 2 min - 30 mins for most eggs at 1.

Set the setting to 1 (or even 0.1) but not flat zero as that likely just freezes the timer.

So:
1: Remove eggs from incubators. Destroy incubators (build menu then C button)
2: Shut down server/exit to main menu.
3: Set to 1 or 0.1
4: Load up server/game and put the incubators back down and eggs back in.

ill try that one, thanks mew

Same bug, I changed the world settings to one hour, egg went back to 99 hours after reaching 0

Setting it on 0 makes it instant. Does not freeze the timer, it removes the timer and you can incubate the egg as soon as you put it in.

After doing the in-game setting changes you should also restart the game (and just in case verify the file), as it might "bug" the Egg incubator.

I have mine at 0 which gives me instant incubation without showing any bug issues with the timer but when I first made the changes I had also verify and restart the game chance in case.

This bug happens when you try to duplicate eggs, throw away any eggs that have a 1 on the icon, you cannot clone eggs. You can only get them legitimately else it bugs out.
