How To Hatch Eggs
Place Your Eggs In The Incubator
To hatch eggs, you need to have an Incubator. Build an Incubator at your base and place the eggs you wish to hatch there. Eggs that are stored in a chest at the base cannot be hatched, so be sure to have the eggs you want to set on hand.

There is also the Electric Egg Incubator which you can unlock at Lvl 36. This was added in the new update and it will automatically adjust the temperature for the egg. However you will need electricity to run it.
Wait Until It Completes To Hatch The Egg
Once the eggs are set inside the Incubator, a timer will appear. When the remaining time reaches zero, it is complete and you can interact with it to hatch the egg. The bigger the egg, the longer it will take to hatch.
Control Temperature To Hatch Faster
When the eggs are set, the time it takes to hatch depends on the temperature. Place a cooler or heater nearby to increase the hatching speed. If your base is located in an area where it is hot or cold, use an electric heater or cooler to speed things up.
Structures That Affect Temperature
| Structure | Temperature | Range (Foundation width) |
 Campfire |  +1 | 1.5 blocks |
 Heater | +1 | 4 blocks |
 Cooler |  -1 | 4 blocks |
 Electric Heater |  +2 | 8 blocks |
 Electric Cooler |  -2 | 8 blocks |
Heater And Cooler Cancels Out
If you place both a heater and cooler, the area within the range of both will cancel out and become a normal temperature. This means you can incubate hot eggs near the heater, cold eggs near the cooler and normal eggs in the middle to hatch all eggs at the right temperature.
Always Keep Normal Temperature
| Temperature | Ideal Eggs | ||
 Hot |  Scorching Egg |  Rocky Egg |  Dragon Egg |
 Normal |  Electric Egg |  Common Egg |  Verdant Egg |
 Cold |  Damp Egg |  Frozen Egg |  Dark Egg |
The temperature needs to be within the 3 spaces in the middle of the scale. If it goes beyond that, it will be too hot or cold for any of the eggs.
Change Settings To Hatch Faster
Hatching Time Can Be Set In World Settings
The time it takes to hatch eggs can be changed in the world settings. Adjust "Time (h) to incubate Massive Egg." in the Custom Settings menu. The default setting is 2 and the higher the number, the longer it will take to hatch an egg.
Will Instantly Hatch When Set To Zero
If the value is set to 0, the incubation time can be eliminated. The eggs finish incubating the moment they are set in the Incubator. If you don't want to wait, set the value to 0.
