It speeds up the time remaining.
Ok ty
I just used the boost for an egg that takes 10hrs to hatch and it didn't speed up nothing still taking the same amount of time and I restarted the game to make sure and no change
The boosts' effect only lasts for one hour. Next time you use one, watch the timer over the nest, crops, den- whatever it is you are boosting.
With a 2X boost, the timer will count down like this: 8:59, 8:57, 8:55, 8:53, 8:51...
With a 5X boost, the timer will count down like this: 8:59, 8:54, 8:49, 8:44, 8:39...
When the hour is up, the timers will return to normal.
Awesome! Thanks for explaining this so well. I was trying to figure it out. I activated the 10x boost on the evolution den when it needed around 9 hours ( that was a couple of hours ago). Now there's only one hour left on the timer. I tried to figure it out but I never would have understood it if it wasn't for your explanation. Have a great day
I think of how it'll affect my total time. A 10X boost will compress 10 hours into 1 hour. So an egg that has 12 hours on the timer would become 1 (compressed hour) + 2 (regular counted hours) = 3 total hours.
A 2X boost will compress 2 hours into 1. So that same 12 hour egg would become 1+10 =11 hours total.
The boost icons are misleading. Maybe put something about the fact they run for an hour only.
