Time and Cake cost per breeding roll

Knowing the real cost per roll stops passive projects from dragging. One roll is one Cake plus one hatch cycle.

  • Expected rolls
  • Budget

Egg production

A fed pair lays an egg within a few in-game minutes and keeps laying while both parents and Cake remain in the farm.

Hatch cycle

Add minutes to a couple of hours per egg depending on tier and temperature. Batching incubators makes the hatch cycle effectively parallel.

Expected rolls

With a two-passive donor pair sharing the same passives, around 70% of eggs carry at least one target passive and 30% carry both. A clean four-passive result usually takes 8–15 eggs.

Budget

Twenty Cakes and three farms clears most passive projects inside one play session.
