Void Egg

The Void Egg is an animal product obtained from a Void Chicken. It is a special egg with several sources of acquisition and a few unusual uses compared to ordinary eggs.

The first way to get a Void Egg is through a random witch event. If the player owns a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop that is not full, a witch may fly over the coop during the night and leave a Void Egg inside. It can also be bought from Krobus, and if the player is married to Shane, he may occasionally gift one on rainy days. A Void Salmon Fish Pond can also produce a Void Egg once the pond population reaches 9.

A Void Egg can be incubated in a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop incubator to hatch a Void Chicken. This makes it the starting point for building a self-sustaining source of Void Eggs and related products. In addition, Void Eggs can be used in place of chicken or duck eggs in cooked dishes, so they function as a valid substitute in recipes that accept those eggs.

Void Eggs also have several practical utility uses outside cooking:

• They can be used in the Sewing Machine to create a Shirt.
• They can be used as black dye in the Sewing Machine when combined with a dyeable clothing item.
• One Void Egg may be requested by Void Salmon in a Fish Pond quest to increase the pond’s capacity from 5 to 7.
• Gus’ “Famous Omelet” special order may require 24 Eggs of any type, including Void Eggs.
• The Raccoon may request five Eggs of any type, excluding Dinosaur Eggs, as part of its third request and any request beginning with the sixth.

Void Eggs also count toward bundle and collection-style requirements that accept eggs in general. Ten Eggs of any type, excluding Dinosaur Eggs, are needed for the relevant bundle requirement. Because Void Eggs are treated as a general egg for many game systems, they are often best saved if the player expects to need eggs for quests, tailoring, or cooking rather than sold immediately.

A Void Egg can be turned into Void Mayonnaise in a Mayonnaise Machine, giving it a direct artisan use as well. Since it can be produced from both random events and a fish pond, it is one of the more flexible animal products to keep on hand.
