In Palworld, different Eggs have different rarities. The rarer the Egg is, the longer it will usually take to hatch in real time. Some Eggs require specific conditions (like warmer climates) meaning they will hatch quicker depending on where your base is and if it’s daytime or evening, (more on this below).
Of the types listed, these Eggs can come inNormal, Large and Hugesizes. The larger the Egg, the more it will weigh, the rarer the Pal inside usually is and the longer it will take to hatch. The following Eggs have a chance to hatch into these Pals:

As mentioned above, some Eggs require warmer or colder conditions to hatch faster. When this happens, the Egg will usually display a message like’seems a little cold'. To speed up the hatching process you need to place either aCooler or Heaternext to the Egg Incubator and assign a Pal to it with a goodKindlingorCoolingskill.
The effects of these structures stack, so you may need to build several around the Incubators to find the ideal temperature for them. As such, it’s usually a good idea to build at least two Incubators to cater to the different Egg types. If an Egg needs warmth, it can also help to build the Incubatorindoors, underneath a roof structure.
Building a Cooler next to an incubating Frozen Egg or a fire around an incubating Scorching Egg can speed up the hatching process as much as50%.
