This is, at least for the current experimental & 0.F candidate (and quite a few versions back - including 0.E stable), incorrect. They grow up after 7 days, as the file and testing shows.
After 7 additional days, they also turn into pregnant giant cockroaches
.
That’s also incorrect. They hatch once the egg item has “rotten away” (similar to (fertilized) bird eggs) based on the file (and I could verify that they spawn from eggs via testing).
And the third wrong statement…
Both the giant cockroaches
and pregnant giant cockroaches
“lay” (spawn in) eggs every 7 days, 1 single egg from the giant cockroach and 3 from the pregnant ones.
