Profession Affecting the Incubation Time

I think the correct profession is Coopmaster, in the game code the same profession index is used for "Incubator" and "Ostrich Incubator" (I check the code before modifying).

Object::performObjectDropInAction

if (name.Equals("Incubator"))
{
	(...)
	if (((NetList<int, NetInt>)(object)who.professions).Contains(2))
	{
		NetIntDelta obj = minutesUntilReady;
		((NetFieldBase<int, NetIntDelta>)(object)obj).set_Value(((NetFieldBase<int, NetIntDelta>)(object)obj).get_Value() / 2);
	}
	(...)
}

else if (name.Equals("Ostrich Incubator"))
{
	(...)
	if (((NetList<int, NetInt>)(object)who.professions).Contains(2))
	{
		NetIntDelta obj2 = minutesUntilReady;
		((NetFieldBase<int, NetIntDelta>)(object)obj2).set_Value(((NetFieldBase<int, NetIntDelta>)(object)obj2).get_Value() / 2);
	}
	(...)
}

Btw, is there a index list of professions somewhere?

There was a list on the old wiki, I'll move it to the Talk:Skills page. Also, mea culpa (my fault), you checked the code and I didn't. This is turning out to be a busy Thanksgiving. Cheers, margotbean (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Dimittuntur tibi (np), thanks for the list! and happy Thanksgiving out there :-) Since we're here, is there an history of the wiki(s) somewhere? I've never known why there is an "old wiki", there isn't much on Stardew Valley Wiki:About. -- Charly (talk) 18:41, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Chucklefish used to publish the game and host the wiki. When ConcernedApe took over publishing the game, he also took over the wiki. Chucklefish is kind enough to keep a copy of the "old" wiki online for us, for reference (and ad revenue?), and they've said they plan to keep it up indefinitely. So, it could (or could not) disappear someday. (Although I hope the internet archive has most of it already.) Thanks for the good wishes, same back to you (holiday or not)! margotbean (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the explanation and the wishes! -- Charly (talk) 19:57, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

In a recent playthrough I set up several barns with ostriches with the shepherd profession. It only takes six days to incubate ostrich eggs now. I don't know how to check this in the source code and I didn't try the same set up with the coopmaster profession. Could somebody ckeck on this? Bitterulf (talk) 15:12, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Good catch! It looks to me like the code in Object::OutputIncubator means that the time it takes to incubate an egg is the value given in the content file FarmAnimals, or if it's not provided (as is the case here) it defaults to 9000 minutes, overriding the value in Machines I think a large part of this code was rewritten in 1.6 and the change probably wasn't intentional. I believe Coopmaster would half the 9000 value to give 4500 minutes. --Wikonimo (talk) 21:19, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

I switched to Coopmaster now. It only took three days to incubate the eggs. I also couldn't find anything in the changelog. It could be unintentional. Should we change the description or go for a bug report? Bitterulf (talk) 07:59, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Please report the bug on the forums! Thank you, margotbean (talk) 13:56, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Suggestion

Add a link to the main incubator page. --Unsigned post by Insanity Studios 19:23, 7 October 2024
