about the hatchery
Dunno if this is something you'd be interested in, but it always bothered me that so many items have next tier variants and the hatchery still looks like a nest. Would you consider an upgraded hatchery that looks like an incubator? I'm really surprised this hasn't been done but an incubator as can be found in most avian husbandry facilities would go with the next level items like the Industrial forge, cooker, and grill. Run on electricity. Just a suggestion/Idea thing.

N+/S+ has a variety of non-tek automatism items, the Nanny, Item Collector, Animal Tender, Farmer, Gardener, Sheep Herder... and the Hatchery.

None of those have a "Tek" variant, and none run on normal electricity. I don't think there is a particular need for a technical variant of the Hatchery. Its already pretty OP, and running on normal electricity would make it much stronger still.

We could talk about changing the model of the hatchery itself, although personally I like the nest with the dodo, and some other structures would be in more dire need of changing its model.

Ok. I was just asking. I didn't mean a tek version. As a person who has raised birds and used Incubators I was surprised that wasn't a thing as a real world incubator does pretty much what this is supposed to do. Just thought I'd ask. You made some changes to the over all aspect of S+ that I like so I've switched to your mod on my server. We'll just hatch them the old fashioned way. Cheers. and THANK YOU for this version of S+.

Bumping this cause of an idea @nevcairiel
Would it be possible to throw chibis at the place of the dodo? Something like the chibi display just without frame so it looks like your chibi sits in/hovers over the nest. For that to be adjustable by the player a size option and a height option would be awesome

speaking of chibi display - maybe a chance to get other models for the frame of the chibi display or even frameless? wood, stone, tek models would be nice

now there's an interesting idea. Never thought of just replacing the dodo.

Hey i started playing on a Server that uses the "N+" Mod and i found out that the Item Collector only runs with a TekGen? Because before this, we had the "S+" Mod and as far as i remember, that didnt need a TekGen to work, but maybe i am wrong.
