Giglings Incubation Guide

Complete 34-day incubation strategy for Giglings — optimize Progress, Quality, Comfort, hatch rates, faction influence, and resource efficiency.

Giglings Incubation Guide

Complete step-by-step incubation guide for achieving:

  • 100% Progress
  • 100% Quality
  • Maintaining Comfort Level 5
  • Optimized for a 34-day incubation cycle

Overview

The most efficient incubation strategy is:

  • Keep Temperature at 90%
  • Maintain Comfort at Level 5
  • Gain:
    • +3% Progress/day
    • +3% Quality/day

This allows the egg to hatch in exactly 34 days with minimal resource costs.


Day 1: Startup

Your journey begins in the basement.

  1. Go to the bottom-right corner of the map.
  2. Enter the dungeon.
  3. Talk to Wilhelm Hatchard.
  4. Select "Let's talk Eggs".

Fate System

There are 20 influence slots used to determine the faction outcome. Faction Dust can be purchased on the market or crafted from ROM.

  • Dust Cost Formula. First use of any faction dust costs 5 Dust. Every repeated use of the SAME faction increases cost by +1 Dust.

  • Cheapest Strategy. Using all 7 faction types is the most efficient method.

  • Total Cost

StrategyTotal Dust
Mixed factions119
Single faction only290
  • Gigus Bonus. Every faction dust use automatically adds: +0.25% Gigus.

Do not leave Fate slots empty.

Even when using an Eggspeditor, always fill the Fate tab or your pet will hatch without a faction.


Day 2–34: Maintenance Cycle

Egg parameters degrade once per day after the daily reset.

Why Keep Temperature at 90%?

Keeping temperature at exactly 90% is the optimal strategy because:

  • Maximum Efficiency. Anything at 90% or higher already gives (+3% Progress/day). 100% temperature gives NO additional incubation speed.

  • Resource Optimization. The final temperature step is the most expensive.

  • Efficient Method. Raise temperature from 84% to 90%. This only requires 4 Biofuel+.

  • Inefficient Method. If try to constantly raise the temperature from 90% to 100%, this final step will require an additional 5 units of Biofuel.

Temperature Maintenance

  • Daily Decay: -6% Temperature after reset.

  • Recommended Strategy: keep temperature at 90% and refill every 2 days using 4 Biofuel+.

  • Result: +3% Progress/day.

Comfort Maintenance

  • Daily Decay: -1 Comfort Level.

  • Recommended Strategy: use daily 1x Incube++ to maintain comfort Level 5.

  • Result: +3% Quality/day.

Important Note

If Temperature or Comfort fall below optimal levels:

  • Incubation does NOT stop.
  • Progress simply becomes slower.
  • Reaching 100/100 will take longer than 34 days.

Resource Rules

Soul-Bound Materials cannot be traded or bought (Biofuel, Incube). They must be crafted manually.

Base Resources such as Wood, Coal, Stone, Bones and Fibre can be farmed in Underhaul or purchased on the market.

Day 34: Hatch

When Progress and Quality both 100% the pet will NOT hatch automatically.

Open the incubator menu and manually press: Hatch.

Eggspeditor Mechanics

Eggspeditor instantly finishes incubation and sets: Progress → 100%

To use:

  1. Pay the egg startup cost.
  2. Open the incubator.
  3. Press Hatch.
  4. Select an Eggspeditor.

Important Quality Limitation

Eggspeditors cap Quality:

  • If your current Quality is below the cap - it is raised to the cap.
  • If your Quality is already above the cap - it remains unchanged.

Pet Life: Hunger & Resources

This section applies ONLY after the pet hatches.

During incubation, eggs consume ONLY fuel.

Hunger Mechanics

  • Pet hunger decreases. -1 Hunger every 3 days
  • Resource Trigger. Resources are generated ONLY during feeding.
  • Efficiency. Output amount and faction drop chances depend on Pet rarity and Food quality.

Fireball Managing

Managing incubation daily for 34 days can be tedious. Fireball offers full-cycle management.

Hatchery Full Cycle Eggs Hatching

Management system:

  • maintains egg parameters;
  • adds fuel;
  • tracks incubation progress;
  • turn off the control approximately 2 days before hatching. This avoids wasting resources that are no longer needed.

Advantages

  • Large Toolset. Control of many in-game activities.
  • Beautiful Interface. Visual and intuitive incubation management.
  • Cross-Platform. Available on PC and Mobile Devices (iOS, Android).

Final Notes

Optimal incubation formula: 90% Temperature + Comfort Level 5 + 34 Days

This is currently the most resource-efficient strategy for maximizing:

  • Progress
  • Quality
  • Hatch rarity potential
  • Resource efficiency
