Egg box

Egg box

A box with soft material made to hold eggs. Egg-laying animals will lay eggs in egg boxes if they can. Your haulers will take all the eggs out only when the box is full, to save time. The box also protects eggs from deteriorating outdoors, though it does not protect from temperature damage.

Egg boxes is a miscellaneous building that egg-laying animals will try to lay eggs in. They do not protect eggs from temperature spoilage, but do prevent deterioration from exposure.

Acquisition

The egg box can be constructed with Stuff 20 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 200 for SMVs) and 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work to make.

Summary

Hold up to 25 eggs of a single type. Once it has 20 eggs it will be emptied.[By whom?] They do not protect eggs from temperature spoilage, but do prevent deterioration from exposure. Egg-laying animals will try to lay the egg in the box if they are within range and the box is accessible, allowing them to be both protected and easily collected.

Analysis

The egg box can be used to force animals to lay eggs in a heated or cooled room, preventing temperature spoilage. It also minimizes the amount of hauling work to be done, as it prevents pawns from hauling eggs until the egg count reaches 20.
