In the Roblox simulator Break and Steal an Egg by ILGames x Eggs, carrying an animal back to safety is only half the battle. Your animals do not produce income while held in your arms. To start generating passive cash per second, you must complete the delivery loop by depositing the animal directly inside your designated player pen.
Here is the complete walkthrough on how to place pets in your base, manage your pen slots, and troubleshoot incomplete deliveries.
Step-by-Step: How to Place Pets in Your Base
Arriving near your base is not enough to secure your loot. According to community walkthroughs and gameplay tests, you must complete an active placement handoff inside your base pen to convert a carried animal into an income-generating asset.
- Break an Egg and Pick Up the Animal: Use your pickaxe to deplete an egg's health in any unlocked biome. Once the egg cracks open, an animal will drop. Walk up to it to claim and carry it.
- Evade the Zone Guard: Carrying an animal alerts the area guardian (such as the giant Chicken, Sphinx, or Yeti). Sprint back toward the safe spawn hub. The guard stops pursuing once you reach the non-combat boundary.
- Locate Your Player Base: Look for the base plot displaying your username and the house icon.
- Step Inside Your Pen and Follow the Placement Cue: Walk directly onto your pen's grass pad. A prompt to "put down" or deposit the animal will trigger. Interact with the placement cue to set the animal into the pen.
- Verify Visible Income Feedback: Once placed, the animal will stand in your pen and display its base cash-generation rate (such as "$1/s", "$10/s", or higher into millions/billions for top-tier rarities). The animal is also registered in your Index.
If your pen has available room, the animal automatically slots in. If you want to optimize your active lineup, you can also press the Equip Best button on the base menu to ensure your highest-earning animals are actively producing income.
Base Placement Checkpoints
To ensure you never lose an animal during delivery, track your progress through each observable checkpoint:
| Delivery Checkpoint | Required Player Action | Observable Success Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Checkpoint 1: Egg Hatch | Break egg with pickaxe and pick up the spawned animal. | Animal is held in your hands; guard begins pursuit. |
| Checkpoint 2: Guard Escape | Navigate the return route back to the base hub. | Screen clears guard aggro as you enter the safe zone. |
| Checkpoint 3: Pen Entry | Step onto your assigned base plot marked with your name. | Safe zone active; interaction prompt appears. |
| Checkpoint 4: Final Placement | Trigger the placement cue or use the base deposit interaction. | Animal drops into pen layout; cash-per-second counter begins ticking. |
Managing Base Capacity and Pen Upgrades
When you first begin the game, your pen can only hold a small number of animals. When every slot is taken, newly carried animals cannot be placed until you expand your plot or swap out weaker pets.
Upgrading Your Pen Size
In your base area, look for the Upgrade Pen button. Spending your earned cash here increases your total holding capacity:
- Upgrading your pen increases the number of animals that can produce cash simultaneously.
- As demonstrated in high-level player runs, maxing out your base pen (reaching level 9) expands your pen capacity up to 16 animals.
Swapping and Equipping Better Animals
Low-tier animals (like common chicks generating $1/s) quickly become obsolete when you reach biomes featuring rare, mythical, celestial, or cosmic creatures.
- You can manually pick up or sell weaker animals from your pen to free up floor space.
- Using the Equip Best option will automatically prioritize the highest cash multipliers available in your collection.
Using the Base Fusion Machine
Beside player bases sits an animal merging (fusion) station. If you have three duplicate or surplus high-tier creatures taking up pen space, you can place them into the fusion machine. This combines them into a single, heavier egg that hatches into a significantly stronger animal, helping you conserve base slot capacity while boosting income per second.
Troubleshooting Placement Issues
If you bring an animal to your base and cannot place it, check for the following common issues:
- Entering the Wrong Base Plot: Bases belong to specific players and display their usernames above the entrance. You cannot place animals inside another player's base pen.
- Full Pen Capacity: If your base has reached its maximum animal limit and you have not unlocked the next pen upgrade, new animals cannot be set down. Sell or fuse excess animals, or purchase the next pen tier.
- Losing the Animal En Route: If a guard hits you or if another player attacks you outside the safe zone with a bat, you may drop the animal before reaching your base boundary.
- Server Desync or Visual Lag: In busy 7-player servers, high animal counts can cause visual stutter. The game includes options in the settings to toggle off "View others' pets" and adjust performance mode, which helps interaction prompts appear without delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does stepping near the base automatically bank the animal?
No. Simply standing near your plot does not place the pet. You must enter your designated pen and finish the placement interaction so the animal registers on the floor and begins generating cash.
Can other players steal my pets once they are placed in my base?
No. The base area functions as a safe zone where PvP bats and animal theft are disabled. Once an animal is confirmed inside your pen, other players cannot take it.
Do animals produce cash if I keep them in my hands?
No. An animal only generates cash per second after it is successfully placed onto your base pen pad.
Can I place animals safely on a private server?
Yes. The official Roblox experience allows players to create free private servers supporting up to 7 players, making it easier to transport and place high-value pets without public server interference.
