Introduction
The Egg is the Alien spawn mechanic. Eggs naturally spawn from the hive every 8 seconds if the hive has fewer than a certain amount of Eggs (including Lifeform Eggs but excluding hatched Eggs). The hive automatically spawns:
- 2 Eggs for 1-6 players
- 3 Eggs for 7-9 players
- 4 Eggs for 10+ players
Alien players will morph into an egg when evolving to another lifeform or when changing one or multiple upgrades. Evolution time varies depending on lifeform and amount of upgrades.
The Alien Commander has the ability to change eggs to higher lifeforms once Aliens gains the appropriate biomass.
