Eggs

Eggs are the unhatched forms of certain types of fauna. They can be used for research which will allow the player to create more advanced objects, such as Upgrades. Eggs are currently still in development.

Eggs usually are considered to be belonging to an unidentified fauna until they are analyzed using the Specimen Analyzer. An Egg of a given type can currently belong to up to two different species.

After an egg is analyzed, you can put it inside a Large Aquarium. The egg will take about ten in-game days to hatch. When hatched, the creature within the egg will a smaller version of its respective species.

More information and animations can be found on Trello.

Cycle

After placing an egg inside an Aquarium, it will stay where it was placed. After about one in-game day, the egg will begin to move and pulse. After ten in-game days, the egg will hatch into a smaller version of it's species. This egg will slowly grow until it is mildly full sized or can fit in the water park. Baby animals can also be picked up.
