gollark: So what are these other patterns? Just stuff like "uncommon eggs lying around will get other eggs when taken soonish"?
gollark: There's more to it than biomes and the 5-min/1-hour drops?

gollark: Stare into the eggy abyss long enough... and the eggs stare back...
gollark: That can't be all there is to it.
