About this Mod
Chickens 2: The Beakquel
This is a reimagining of the original Chickens mod.
We have changed how the core gameplay loop works and moved away from the chickens laying resources to laying eggs.
These eggs can be used for hatching new chickens or opened to get resources from them.
Chickens 2 still comes with the ability to breed better traits into your chickens for faster production however now chickens come with a lifespan.
Once a chicken's lifespan has reached its end the chicken will disappear and will need to be replaced by breading a new one.
New blocks:
Incubator
Used to incubate your eggs to hatch new chickens
This will only accept eggs that are viable to hatch.
Eggs tend to require specific temperatures and humidity to stay healthy
Egg cracker
Used to open eggs automatically for the resources inside
Ovoscope
Used to determine if an egg is still viable automatically.
