Holding F to retrieve eggs from incubators.

[Vincont]

Can we get an option to not have to do this? Thousands of eggs..... I don't want to have to hold 'F' one more time! This is basic science people!

The design is still wrong, we shouldn't open 1 by 1 when the game required 118 eggs for a level 4.

Suggestions
- A pal with ability to collect hatched eggs to paldex
- A new building "Egg control center" that allow us to simply click and drop eggs, click to collect eggs, and a button to mass collect.

This is not what I want. I want instant grab not to click and the game to hold the button for me.

I like this option as well. I could think of a few things to add to this.

So you want to put the egg in the incubator, then just press f and it insta hatch?
If that's what you want check out nexus for faster hatch press.

......... How did you come to this conclusion by any of the posts? Am I speaking English? Maybe I learned a new language without realizing it. This is pretty neat! I wonder if idioms would come out the same. You are driving me up the wall! Lose anything in translation?

You don't want to hold f ? What is it you are trying to do then?

I think there is a mod for that. I don't use mods so don't quote me. But I seem to remember someone saying they had a mod that removed the need to hold the button to actually hatch the egg.

I think that is a little silly. If I can remove the egg timers, why make me wait a few sec to hatch it? But, I'm not terribly bothered by it either.

The breeding definitely needs to be more automated. I usually end up so burned out by the breeding in this game that I either just quit playing altogether or just don't breed much of anything. I'll do one project and that is it.

This is basically where I am at. I'm tired of breeding. I have three pens and I'm just tired of eggs and trying to figure out which results to condense.

Just what I said, I don't want to HOLD F. I do not want to wait 3 seconds before I get the egg when I click the incubator. I just want to push it and get the egg right as I push the key. This has nothing to do with instant incubation. It's simply pushing the key when the egg is done and I get the egg. Like you push key and and throw your pal ball, I don't want to have to hold a key for 3 seconds before I throw my pal ball. Is this making sense?

Yeah, thousands of eggs and I would say I'm not half way done. Maxing out a whole set of level 5 mining guys with proper passives; was so monotonous.

I do think they added that just to stick it to us that turned off egg timers. I think they were like, well if you don't want to wait 10 hours to hatch that huge egg, fine, fine... but we're gonna make you wait to hatch it anyway MFer.

So the long hold was added later? I wasn't playing 6 months ago.

No, I don't know about that. I think it was always there, but so was the ability to turn off the egg timers. I'm basically saying they let us turn off the timer, but they are still going to make us wait those three sec on every egg because f us.

I mean, NMS gave the ability to turn of the long hold to do everything. Seems like such a petty thing not to make optional.

I am sure the hold was done intentionally as a safety feature. Can you imagine the frustration of waiting 30 minutes or more for an egg to hatch and a simple miss click yanks the egg out, potentially seconds before its actually done.

I get that it's annoying, I'd love it if they made it an optional toggle. I just disagree that it was done out of spite or bad design.

It's honestly saving us from endless topics of people complaining about pulling eggs out early, and resetting the timer, because it's often hard to tell exactly what incubator you are focused on if you have a bunch very close to each other. And we often do, due to base space and heat/cook fire efficiency.
