Cult of the Lamb is all about exploiting all of your followers for resources and workforce. Now, you can also breed them and hatch their eggs with the Sins of the Flesh outfit.
I wouldn’t blame you for believing that the Sins of the Flesh update for Cult of the Lamb cuts your followers a bit of a break by letting them get drunk, have brawls, and mate to accumulate Sin. Hate to break it to you, but it’s all an evil coverup just so you can breed new followers and accumulate a brand new currency to upgrade your roguelike skills.
How to Unlock & Build a Hatchery in Cult of the Lamb
To unlock the Hatchery in Cult of the Lamb, download the Sins of the Flesh update and head to your headquarters’s temple to give a sermon. This will prompt Sin to slither by your temple and give you all the new content.
Once available, head to your statue, collect 1 point of Divine Inspiration, and spend it to unlock the Hatchery in Cult of the Lamb. You’ll find it right next to the Drinkhouse and Mating Tent. The only pre-requisite is to have the prison structure unlocked.
To build the Hatchery, head to the building sign next to your Divine Inspiration statue and select the Hatchery structure from the Faith menu. Unlike the Mating Tent, you can build as many Hatcheries as you want as long as you’ve got the resources for it.
