Finite Chute Crabs

Description
Fire becomes ash, trees fall, cities crumble into dust, even gods are, eventually, forgotten. All things must end.

Except, apparently, for Chute Crabs, who rudely disturb the social and thermodynamic fabric of the universe by pouring eternally from vents one can only imagine leading to alternate universes which have decided to forgo entropy in exchange for crabs.

The time has come for us to bring down the hammer of law upon these unruly creatures, finally pinning them to the laws that govern our universe and that of Qud.

And so, indeed, it is - the Chute Crabs of Golgotha remain great in number, and lie in wait for poorly prepared wayfarers to swarm and devour - but their numbers are limited, and a determined, patient and well armoured traveller may eventually be able to beat back the tide.

A family species, all chutes contain at least five crabs - any fewer would cause them to become isolated and lonely, and trust me, Chute Crabs may be near intolerable, but a sad Chute Crab will never leave you alone. That said, even social creatures have limits, and indeed vents must never exceed three hundred and sixty crabs exactly, beyond that and social stratification leads to extensive political unrest and inevitable civil collapse.

Granted to you by this modification is the power to limit the Crab per Chute (CpC) value to one of your own choosing, provided to you through via the transcendental powers of the options menu yet bound, for ethical reasons, to the aforementioned limits.
