Driver of hatch time

Egg tier plus incubator comfort; higher-tier eggs always take longer.

Temperature

Comfortable incubators hatch on schedule; uncomfortable ones stall progress.

Parallelism

Incubators work independently, so throughput scales linearly with how many you build.

Egg element

The egg's element follows the child, which is a useful preview of the route working.

Server settings

Multiplayer worlds can scale hatch duration, so private-server times differ from single player.
