how to heat up eggs

[redned]

I am not entirely sure how to get the eggs to the temperature they need.
the ones that require heat to be clear. normal eggs just need 1 camp fire and it's enough.
so I figured putting many around 1 egg would do the same trick but they are stuck at 50%.

you get heaters later that can be powered by a pal

We tried everything to get them to 100% and nothing worked.
Assuming the housing structures dont work properly to contain the heat.

you can build hatchers outside your base zone, you u can put them in a different bio set a timer on your phone or something and go collect it later, item breakdown outside base is not that fast like 12hrs real time, if u need more time u can repair it ever 8-10hrs and will stay till done

Heating doesn't stack. 2 campfire has no more heat than 1. Campfire and cooker don't stack either. Heater and campfire or cooker does stack though. Ornamental lighting, aka mounted torches, fireplace, etc, do not provide heat.

Obviously you are supposed to sit on them. Duh.
Joking aside... There are a three factors in hatching temperature that I have found so far.
First factor: The egg type itself. Scorching eggs require a LOT of heat. Frozen eggs are the opposite, they actually require the COLD.
Second Factor: Stuff like campfires, heaters, and coolers that are around them.
And Third Factor: The actual ambient temperature itself as well as time of day. Common eggs are 100% in the daytime in the starting biome with a campfire, but drop to 'slightly cold' at night in the starting biome with just a campfire. Annoyingly as someone pointed out, they don't stack. So you will need an electric heater/heater/campfire. Or, conversely coolers for stuff like frozen eggs etc.
But, the point mainly is: There is absolutely zero universal 100% hatching solution for a single area. Because what would make a scorching egg 100% faster, would make it too hot for frozen egg so it would have 0% boost at all.

You mean scorching and dragon eggs?

Yeah i setup a third base near the lava / mountain zone for sulphur and to hatch these specific types of eggs.

Couldn't get it working with heaters and campfires

the only thing that heats enough is the electric you can use as many campfires and normal heaters as you want they wont get it over 50% but with the electric it then heats so much that every other egg is on 50%

Where in the world you are matters too before you get anything electrical. I'm actually at a volcano to help a dragon egg right now. 50% in the day with an ice box a pal cools to bring ambient down (not the fridge) and 100% at night.

well when you start with crossbreeding you build so many eggcubators that you struggle to fill them all XD

You need the electric heater that you get at level 41.
