Drill for Eggs Drill Loop Planner
Turn your own route timings into an hourly figure, then compare a safe zone against a risky one before you commit an evening to it.

What this measures
A Drill for Eggs loop has four costs: drilling to the zone, grabbing the egg, running from the guardian, and waiting for the hatch. The first three repeat many times per session. The last one gates how many animals you can replace.
This planner takes those four values plus your success rate and income, and returns eggs per hour and Cash per hour. Because every input is yours, the output is only as good as your measurements, and it contains no assumptions about drop rates, which the developer does not publish.

Save up to five plans
Store a safe-zone plan and a risky-zone plan side by side, then compare them. Plans stay in this browser's local storage and never leave your device.
Reading the result
The number that surprises most people is the hatch-limited figure. If you can hatch fewer animals per hour than your steal rate allows, your farming is capped by enclosure slots and hatch time, not by how fast you can drill. That changes what you should optimise.
The time breakdown shows whether escaping is eating your session. If escaping dominates, Speed is the upgrade that pays for itself, and a marginally rarer egg in a closer zone will out-earn a rarer one you can never bring home.
Cash per hour includes offline income from the hours you are not playing, since animals keep paying. If you play nearly all day, active and effective income converge.
Planner questions
Where do I get my Cash per animal?
In game, look at what your animals produce. If the game does not show a per-animal figure, divide your total Cash per second by your active animals.
Why do I need a success rate?
Because you lose eggs when a guardian catches you. A run that fails every other attempt halves your real egg rate, and ignoring that makes the estimate twice as optimistic as your actual session.
Should I count offline income?
Yes, if you play for less than a few hours a day. Animals earn while you are away, so your real hourly output blends active farming with passive income.
Does this predict my exact earnings?
No. It multiplies your own numbers by each other. Use it to compare two plans, such as grinding one zone against pushing a rarer one, not to predict an exact number.
