Because this would turn grue rounds into Discount Dan's xenomorphs.
This is overall better for the game because grues would snowball out of control even harder after eating just a few people, and grues have been changed in the past so that they can't just randomly perma-kill people anymore, so this should be fine. Now there's only one grue and once it's down you don't have to spend the next 10-15 minutes roaming the tunnels looking for progeny that might not even exist. It also wasn't a great experience for the new grues either because the big one would usually get all the food and the only crewmembers they could fight were already heavily geared, so really just a negative for both sides.
Deactivates code that involved grues laying eggs including the configs. The eggs themselves are still in the game and function properly, it's just that grues can't reproduce.
It's a draft because I haven't tested it.

I feel like this was the whole point of grue. If you're removing this you might as well just remove them. Which I wouldn't mind, honestly. They're less interesting than xenos in every way.

shadowlings when
also, why comment all this shit out instead of just having pomf set the config to disabled?

While I'm firmly in the fuck grues category, I feel like limiting the starting grue to one or two offspring would be better. (They should also lose their blink when they're mature)

damn first they make changelings limited to one split and now this, it's like they're outlawing fun

Perhaps grue's awful snowballing should be addressed instead?
