Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently migo structures are pretty much everywhere and each one has 5-10 prisoners. Due to this the number of npcs who are migo prisoners vastly exceeds the number of non prisoner NPCs. this feels a bit weird, and also isn't great for gameplay because migo prisoners are heavily genericized and all very similar (compared to various world spawn npcs who have a lot of variety)

Solution you would like.

Either migos should take fewer prisoners or there should be fewer migos.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Research direction
Investigate the mi go prisoner spawn logic in the monster spawning code. Look for the function that generates mi go structures and adjust the number of prisoners or the frequency of mi gos to ensure prisoners don't outnumber other NPCs.
