⚡ What Living Fossil does
Every 2 minutes 20 seconds at base weight, the Nautilus adds 30 seconds of hatch time to a random egg and cuts 1 minute 20 seconds from another. Overall your eggs come out 50 seconds ahead each time.
Which egg gets which is random, so with only one or two eggs out it can slow the one you care about. It works best with a full row of eggs incubating.
📈 Nautilus stats by weight
| Pet weight | Cooldown | Time added to one egg | Time cut from another |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 kg | 2:06 | 33 s | 1:28 |
| 25 kg | 1:45 | 37.5 s | 1:40 |
| 50 kg | 1:10 | 45 s | 2:00 |
| 100 kg | 1:10 | 60 s | 2:40 |
Both amounts double by 100 kg (60 seconds added, 2:40 cut), so the net gain doubles too. The cooldown halves to 1 minute 10 seconds at 50 kg.
