Better test
Keep the setup comparable
- Record eggs immediately before leaving.
- Do not spend eggs between the before and after readings.
- Use the same nest and chickens when comparing sessions.
Use eggs before, eggs after, and time away to measure your farm instead of trusting a universal rate.
Take a before reading, leave the game, then enter the after reading and exact time away.
Compare the measured rate before a rebirth, after a purchase, or after a merge. A single estimate is useful for planning, not a guarantee.
Yes. The official game description says your nest keeps laying eggs while you are away.
No. It scales one session that you measured, so farm changes, caps, updates, or other conditions can change the result.
The calculator measures gained eggs. A lower after value usually means the wrong reading or a spend occurred during the test.
Use the same time interval and change only one part of the farm before measuring again.
