Incubation
Incubators are for players who are looking to get the most out of every Pixl Pet Egg they hatch, further optimizing and fine-tuning their Pixl Pet Breeding. Players will also be able to rent out the use of their Incubators to other Players.
Several types and tiers of incubators will be introduced, the currently extant Genesis Pixl Pet Incubators will have maximum capacity and functionality, as well as the lowest cost-to-run of any Pixl Pet machine.
The basic function of every Incubator is to allow Pixl Pet Eggs to fully mature before they are hatched, providing a boost to the Pets Base Stats and Stat Growth Rates. Fully incubated eggs may also hatch out of their eggs carrying rare items and Pixl NFTs.
More powerful Incubators will be able to consume certain Items obtained from loot & the Pixl Marketplace in order to modify breeding outcomes. The type of modification performed will depend on the Item being consumed by the Incubator. For example, a Player may consume a Thunder Gem in their Incubator in order to raise the hatched Pet's ability to learn higher Category & Rarity Air Moves. A Speed+ Phial (Placeholder name) could be consumed to skew the Pet's Stat Profile towards a Speed dominant build. The better the Incubator the higher the number of times you'll be able to benefit from a consumable Item before it is destroyed.
