How long does it take to hatch an egg in Palworld?

Minutes for a normal egg, one to two hours for a Large egg and several hours for a Huge egg, provided the incubator temperature matches the egg type.

How do I speed up hatching?

Match the temperature with Heaters or Coolers, batch eggs across several incubators, and lower the incubation-speed setting on a private world.

Do eggs hatch while I am offline?

On single-player the timer advances while the world runs; on a dedicated server it advances continuously.

What is inside a Huge egg?

The highest-tier Pals of that element, including legendaries from Huge Dragon and Huge Scorching eggs.

Can I move an egg between incubators?

Yes. Progress is stored on the egg, so moving it to a correctly heated incubator resumes at full speed.
