Cult of the Lamb is all about exploiting your followers for resources and workforce. With the Sins of the Flesh update, you can now breed and hatch eggs to accumulate a new currency and upgrade your roguelike skills.

What is the Sins of the Flesh Update?

The Sins of the Flesh update may seem like a new way to give your followers a break, letting them get drunk, have brawls, and mate to accumulate Sin. However, it's actually an evil coverup to help you breed new followers and accumulate a brand new currency.

To unlock the Hatchery in Cult of the Lamb, follow these steps:

1. Download the Sins of the Flesh update and head to your headquarters' temple to give a sermon.
2. Collect 1 point of Divine Inspiration from your statue and spend it to unlock the Hatchery in Cult of the Lamb.
3. Head to the building sign next to your Divine Inspiration statue and select the Hatchery structure from the Faith menu.

Note that you need to have the prison structure unlocked to build the Hatchery. You can build as many Hatcheries as you want, as long as you have the resources for it.
