You can instantly incubate eggs in Palworld by changing one setting

Instant gratification is fun.

During your adventures in Palworld, you’ll find eggs of all varieties, and once you’ve crafted the Egg Incubator, you can begin to hatch them for a chance to get new Pals. Usually, larger eggs take a while to incubate, but there’s a setting you can tweak for instant gratification.

How to change world settings

Screenshot by Destructoid

On the World Select screen, look to the bottom and click on the button that says “Change World Settings”

Here, you’ll want to change your difficulty level to “Custom” – don’t worry, this shouldn’t change anything until you physically change it yourself – then click “Custom Settings” underneath. 

In here you’ll find a setting to change most things within the game. You can boost how much EXP your character gains, make it so that you don’t lose anything if you die or change how much damage is caused to your structures during raids. But, most importantly, for this guide, you can also change how long it takes for eggs to incubate.

Once you’ve been thoroughly confused by some of the options in the settings menu, scroll to the very bottom and find the following setting:

  • Time (h) to incubate Massive Egg

This setting comes with a note which says “Other eggs also require time to incubate”, but if you want instant hatches, ignore that note

Simply move the slider all the way down to zero and leave the menu, saving your settings when prompted. 

Now you should have instantly hatching eggs! Simply place eggs into the incubator as usual and you’ll be able to use the “Incubate” function immediately.
