Breeding Farm Loop: Cakes, Incubators and When to Mutate
Breeding is a production line: cakes in, eggs out, incubators hatching; chase mutations only when the parents are already worth copying.
This is the process guide, not the full mutation spreadsheet. Get a clean farm loop first; then use mutations and passives as the reason you keep hatching.
Build the loop
- Place Breeding Farms with easy chest access for cakes.
- Keep a kitchen producing Cake so pens never idle.
- Park incubators next to the farms.
- Filter a cake chest so transporters restock pens automatically.

Breeding Farm
Structures
Cake
Egg Incubator
Structures
Place a Pal Egg inside to incubate it.
Large Incubator
Structures
Device for incubating Pal eggs. It automatically maintains a suitable temperature and can hatch multiple eggs at once.
Cake
Food
A dish eaten during celebrations. Put it in the chest at a Breeding Farm to make Pals lay a particularly healthy egg.
Parents → egg → hatch
Assign two parents, supply Cake and wait for an egg. Move eggs to incubators and collect hatches on a timer. Use the breeding calculator when you need a specific child species.

Mutations matter after parents already have the passives and IVs you want to keep. Hatch normals to lock a line; then push volume when hunting anomalies.
