Placed 8 burning campfires around a turtle egg, still doesn't say incubating
How the ♥♥♥♥ does this work?

Was it a fertilized egg?

He means to ask if you are sure to use a fertilized egg.

Also may need more campfires and I assume it says too cold? Best way to do it is a combination of air conditioners and fires but as an example a wyvern egg takes I think it's around 14 fires

Yes, but only because Wyvern eggs need exceptional high temperatures.

You have to breed the dinos then the egg will say fertilized species egg and show a incubation bar a health bar and a too hot or too cold message

you get a male and female in a close space, enable wandering on both and they "fug". when mating bar is full you get a fertilized egg that has a health and incubation bar.
it freezes both bars when placed in inventory but once placed on ground it will incubate in suitable temperatures and lose health in unsuitable temperatures.

Are you trolling? You can't just breed an egg if it isn't fertilized. Haven't you attended some biology lessons in school?

You need 2 dinosaurs that mate and you will receive an egg

it essentially means it has the beginnings of a baby in it, did the egg say fertilized carbonemys egg, or just carbonemys egg?

Me neither. I am from Germany and
I know German, English, Latin, French, a bit of Spanish and Dutch. Use a translator if you don't understand that word

It's not hard to learn English, there is a reason why it is widely used.

You could also just put 4 Dimetrodons around it. That works surprisingly well.

Obviously it isn't a temp problem here, the guy hasnt got a fertilized egg.

When it comes to temperatures, it isn't a guessing game;

1. The wiki tells you the temp a certain egg needs to be at
2. Pressing H gives you the air temperature
3. A standing torch (cheaper and use less fuel than campfire) provides 100 hypothermal insulation

Simple math from that point.

You can't tell OP to use X amount of campfires because it is totally dependant on air temperature which is dynamic.

The Dimetrodons comment is a good one and I used them when breeding on Prim+ but a new player succesfully going into the swamp and taming a bunch......unlikely.
