How do I make a civ that uses cloning instead of basic human mating? kind of like greys clone in amateur sci-fi films.

You can only make pseudo vermin via reactions right now.

You could use Dfusion's egg hatcher and remove the children/baby tags on the creature then add the egg laying tags to the female caste.
Getting clones in game is as easy as setting up a nest box and having 1 female civ member to lay them.

I've been out of modding a while but why not just have a reaction create the eggs and bypass the need to have a cast and nestbox combo?  I don't know how the eggs work tho, I guess they may need to be in a nestbox to hatch?  Set the "incubation" period to next to nill?  Custom workshop "Cloning tubes" to run the reaction?

Eggs created via reaction, imported, or even laid as "unusual eggs" are sterile.
