The Slime Incubator is a piece of equipment used to hatch Slime Eggs into actual Slimes. The crafting recipe is unlocked after reaching Combat Level 8. One Slime Incubator comes with each Slime Hutch, and it can be moved. The Bookseller may trade 1 Slime Incubator for 2 Monster Compendiums each, provided the player has already earned the power from that book.
Slime Eggs take 
4,000m (2d 13h 20m) to incubate.[1] The Coopmaster Profession cuts this time in half, but Fairy Dust does not work on Slime Incubators. If an incubator finishes processing during the day, then a Slime will hatch the next morning.[2]
Since the Slime Incubator can be placed anywhere, Slimes can be hatched in any indoor or outdoor location. The Slime Hutch has a limit of 20 Slimes, but there is no limit in other areas. If the Slime Hutch is at capacity, a Slime will not hatch until space is freed up by killing an existing Slime in the building.
Incubators outside the farm
It is possible to place chests and other crafted items outside the farm. Chests are useful for storing gifts close to the homes of Villagers who prefer them or to allow additional storage when Mining, Fishing, or Foraging. Worm Bins can be placed near fishing spots, Furnaces can be placed at the entrance to the Mines, and entire sections of the Valley may be utilized for Keg or Preserves Jar processing. Common Trees can be planted in tillable soil and tapped.
If a villager walks through the square where a crafted item was placed, the item will be destroyed. Below are player-created maps to indicate which tiles on the map are safe from villager-pathing. The tiles with the Rotten Plant should be safe.
Safe-pathing images of the interiors of homes and buildings can be found in the complete image gallery located at https://imgur.com/a/JlRXGlc
Note that items placed on the docks at the beach may be destroyed by villagers during the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, Night Market, or by Emily if married to her. The image below is accurate for players who do not attend the festivals and don't marry Emily.
Note: These images are accurate as of v1.4; they do not include any of Leo's paths outside of The Mountain.
For updated images, please see this reddit post or this imgur album.
