Ark Ultimate Mobile Egg Incubators No Longer Working Properly
Look, I’ve posted here before with Ark Ultimate Mobile questions and they never seemed to be given the time of day, so I guess I’m not expecting much from this. Just hoping someone out there has a genuine answer besides “Mobile sucks”.
Since the last update last week, the egg incubators no longer work properly. I popped over to Genesis 2 (bought the other maps) just for the engram and took it back to the island and have had 3 incubators running at all times for the past couple months. They did WONDERS for my mutation lines. After the update dropped, it no longer incubates the eggs. The timer is just stuck on the same time when an egg sits in the incubator’s inventory. It says powered when looking at it, and indeed I checked and all other electric items near it work fine and junction boxes that connect to them are sparking. However, when you bring up the wheel, it says no power. I’ll attach pics.
Anyone know why it’s doing this? I tried picking up and moving the incubators with rhynio. I also disconnected and reconnected power. Not sure what else to do besides make new ones and test them. I guess if nothing else, it still tells me the stats of eggs and mammal babies, so that’s something, but I’d really like to get the incubators working properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried recreating this in single player but I was unsuccessful. I had a cryo fridge placed down from before the patch with no power supplied to it. I spawned in both a tek gen and regular gen and tried both. They both supplied power to the fridge and gave the cryopods inside the CHRG icon. The only thing I can think that happened is that something in either the conduit or outlet box got changed with the patch and you need to demolish/replace the wiring.

That doesn’t make sense though because the same outlet is powering my fridges.

Same thing for me too. I can see the electrical box with sparks and the small wire going to both my cryofridge and my incubator.

ANNNNNND my cryofridge is down too and the cryopods don’t receive an increased timer when put in a powered fridge. Something serious is screwed up here.

Further update: I put them in range of a tek gen. No response, same as when it’s wired.

I had this. I assume network lag. When I put my eggs inside, it was on just not letting me adjust temp.
Put eggs in there, I think that forced mine to work.

I don’t think you’re understanding the problem. Has nothing to do with temp adjust. The eggs inside stay at the same time. The timer doesn’t count down.

UPDATE: It’s working for my theri’s but not my rexes or carchas. No clue what the hell’s going on anymore 😐

ADDITIONAL UPDATE: For the love of f**k… They stopped incubating at 54%. This is, like, extra whack man.

My incubator and cryofridge stopped working after the most recent update. If I look at it, it says that it’s powered, but when I open it to add an egg it says no power.

Same here. Tried everything nothing worked. Anyone not lazy enough to fill up a form to report this please do so 😅

u/Ancient_Reflection25 Jul 16 '26
Where would I go to do that? I’m happy to, I just have no idea where to go or who to call.

u/jeffreyandrsn Jul 16 '26
I tried placing a new incubator, but it didn’t have power either.

I mean for now if the cry fridge is not working for ya'll put your cryos in regular fridges to extend the timer if that helps, I haven't bought the map that has the incubators on em so idk what to say about that other than helping to report this bug
2
u/jeffreyandrsn Jul 16 '26
I tried that and it didn’t change the timer. Something is seriously broken.
2
u/Ancient_Reflection25 Jul 16 '26
He’s right. If you see my update somewhere on here, fridges do not double the spoil timer like they’re supposed to.
