Managing Hives
« on: June 04, 2013, 01:24:14 pm »

Has anyone worked out a way to effectively manage hives?

I love this feature, but I ran into an embark where there were four different types of hives on the map.  Naturally, I wanted to take advantage of them all, but there were some I wanted to prioritize without building hive areas all over the map (to get close to the source hive).  One idea I had was to forbid traffic all around the hives I didn't want them grabbing and, one by one, populating my hives in the correct "rooms."

So, what tricks have you tried to corral your dwarves to select the right hives?

Burrows. Or you forbid hives you dont want accessed, I think that would work as well.
