I've found a wetted sponge does the trick. It can been difficult to keep the humidity high enough during dry Winter months. You also need to maintain the humidity around 40-50% for the first 18 days, then increase to 60-70% the last 3 days. This will automatically turn off the lightbulb when it gets too hot, and turn it back on again when within the desired range. Purchase a water heater thermostat and wire it into the power source.Buy a dimmer switch for plug-in lamps ($5 at the hardware store), and play around with the brightness until you find the right temp.


INCUBATOR FOR EGGS ARK PATCH
In the patch 340.19, a new feature has been added for the Egg incubator. There will be no Hatching Speed Bonus nor Showing the stats of the offspring when unpowered, incubation process and egg health are shown as normal. The Incubator will still hatch the egg as long as the exterior temperature is not too extreme, even unpowered. The maximum boost is 20%, which can be reached if the device is set to maintain the egg's best temperature (which is the middle point of the temperature range needed to hatch the egg, rounded half up). Inferior eggs can be cracked(destroyed) via similar way that leave nothing behind if you do not want to make kibble from said eggs.
INCUBATOR FOR EGGS ARK MANUAL
Upon reaching 100%, a manual ejection from the Incubator's inventory is required to release the newborn, which will appear in front of the Incubator. Care must be taken if an attempt to hatch the egg was taken, as when unpowered or without at its optimal temperature, eggs can be destroyed in the process if left for too long. The bar below the eggs represent the percentage to hatching, and its health pulse, color ranging from blue (very healthy) to orange (very unhealthy). But you can't interact with the eggs except by opening the inventory of the incubator. Walking in front of it and looking at an egg from up close will show the colour regions and levels.

While outside of the incubators inventory. Adjusting the temperature adjust it for any egg residing inside the incubator, so planning is advised when hatching eggs from it. The Egg Incubator is designed to maintain the temperature of the eggs while incubating them inside.
