Your first goal
Complete a delivery to your pen and hatch a pet. Picking up an egg without reaching your base does not complete that goal.
Step-by-step route
- Locate your base before leaving. Editorial advice: walk the route out and back without carrying anything to recognize the entrance.
- Start in Forest. Find an egg in the first area and watch the guardian before approaching.
- Use the game's interaction. Guides specify E on keyboard; use the displayed control on other devices.
- Return to your pen. Avoid detours to chase another egg while carrying one. Guardians and other players can cause you to lose it.
- Place and hatch it. Check the timer for that egg; we do not apply a fixed hatching time to every rarity.
- Check production. Review your pet's earnings before choosing the next purchase.
What to upgrade: solve your current problem
| What happens | What to check |
|---|---|
| You lose eggs on the way back | Speed, route and guardian position |
| Training is too slow | Treadmill upgrade and displayed cost |
| Another pet does not fit | Capacity and base expansion |
| Two pets look identical | Displayed income, size and mutation |
The treadmill improves speed training; expanding the base adds pet capacity. These are different upgrades.
An example of a useful session
Editorial plan: first deliver an egg from an area you can navigate, finish hatching it and check its income. Then pick an upgrade addressing your current limitation. Try the same route again before moving into a harder area. Compare completed deliveries, not just eggs you managed to pick up.
Mistakes that slow your start
- Moving into a difficult area just because you can reach it.
- Buying capacity expecting a speed increase.
- Choosing a pet solely by appearance.
- Spending based on outdated requirements or supposed gifts without checking in-game.
Checklist
- [ ] I know where my pen is.
- [ ] I completed a delivery.
- [ ] I checked hatching and earnings.
- [ ] My next upgrade solves a specific problem.
