Got an Aniimo Egg? Here's how to hatch it, how the Outpost and Home Hatchinators differ, roughly how long different eggs take, and how to speed things up.

How to Hatch an Aniimo Egg

  1. Head to a Hatchinator

    Find a Hatchinator, the large egg-shaped incubator machine. The main one is the Outpost Hatchinator near your nearest Outpost, and you can also build a Home Hatchinator in your RV once it reaches level 2.

  2. Select the egg and start hatching

    Interact with the Hatchinator and choose the Aniimo Egg you want to hatch, then place it into an open incubation slot and confirm with Start Hatching.

  3. Wait for the timer, then collect your Aniimo

    Once you place the Egg, a countdown timer starts and counts down in real time. When it reaches zero, head back to the Hatchinator to collect your newly hatched Aniimo.

  4. Twine your Aniimo to an Aniipod

    Twine your newly hatched Aniimo to an Aniipod to complete the process.

Outpost Hatchinator vs. Home Hatchinator

HatchinatorDetails
Outpost HatchinatorEvery regional Outpost Hatchinator gives you 3 active slots by default from the start of the game, so you can hatch multiple eggs at the same time.
Home HatchinatorUnlocks once your RV reaches level 2. It can only incubate 1 egg at a time, but petting the egg there decreases the incubation timer.

SlotUsed For
2 Regular Slots (Side Ports)On the left and right of the machine. Used for standard-sized eggs, such as Common or Elite eggs.
1 Giant Slot (Center Port)In the middle of the machine, built to hold bigger eggs such as Prismatic Eggs.

How Long It Takes to Hatch an Aniimo Egg

Egg TierHatching Time
Common / Low TiersAround 1 hour.
Mid-Tier (Incredible / Special Event Eggs)Around 2.5 to 4 hours.
Higher Tier5 hours or more.

This is a rough guide based on what we've seen: higher-rarity eggs generally take longer to hatch. The timer also keeps progressing even while you're offline.

How to Speed Up Hatching

MethodEffect
Pet the egg at the Home HatchinatorPetting decreases the incubation timer.
Buy the Monthly PassReduces the time to hatch by 2 hours. You can buy it from Main Menu, then Shop, then Monthly Pass.
Hatch eggs during the Hatch Haste eventRuns every Friday to Sunday. During the event, all Aniimo egg hatching times are reduced by 50%.

For faster hatching, place multiple Hatchinators in your Homeland and use them all to incubate eggs. Each Hatchinator still holds only 1 egg, so placing more lets you hatch more eggs at once. Then invite friends to visit your Homeland and pet the eggs to cut their remaining hatch time. Players can pet up to 20 eggs per day.
