Hot Spring Eggs Question

[Iyasenu]

So, I saw in the patch notes that you could make hot spring eggs by plopping an egg into hot springs. (big shocker, I know)

So I took some eggs and went down to Olvina, and indeed you can place the eggs in the hot spring's water and after a few turns they'll get cooked into Hot Spring Eggs, which give a weaker version of the hot spring soak anti-ether buildup buff.

So I thought I'd use a bottomless pot and take some of the water back home.
And hey, the bottomless pot says it's filled with hot spring water.
When I got back home I made a little pool using the hot spring water.
Then I tried placing some eggs into my new little hot spring, but nothing happened.

The process was pretty quick back in Olvina, but it just wouldn't happen back at base.

Can you only make Hot Spring Eggs at Olvina's hot springs?
Well, outside of using a Microwave to cook the recipe, but I'm curious about the water version.

You need to craft a geyser, or steal the one in Olvina

Thank you, I had no idea the geyser had that function.
Since I don't have a sun crystal to craft my own, I might pay Olvina a visit.

I dropped the rare crystal that is needed for a geyser. Any other uses for it? I might build it and create an enclosed comfy hot spring at my base.

I know it can be used to make Sun Lamp-type furniture, which allow crops that need sunlight to grow indoors or during Winter.

Also, if your base is located in an area that has the Land Feat "Geyser" you don't need the geyser item.
And actually, if you have both at the same time, it boost the effect of the hot spring.

I can make hotspring eggs in my meadow by default, no geyser or anything. All I can think of is the water in question is indoors. I have a greenhouse with some 1 tile deep pools for rice/wheat paddies, and some chickens occasionally hang out in there and lay eggs in those pools and they become hotspring eggs. Unless somehow my meadow has a hidden geyser trait which I don't think should be possible.

Edit: I guess maybe this was a bug fixed by this morning's update.
