Hives

Hives are one of the several different types of enemy structures in Infested Planet.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Hives signify enemy bases, requiring destruction for victory on most maps. Each hive is safeguarded by twelve towers, either of spawning or spitting variety, or a balanced combination of both. In certain instances, hives may host infested structures during map initialization. Additionally, hives generate crawling bugs that advance toward player bases. If a hive sustains damage but remains intact, it will swiftly regenerate health and restore towers and infested structures. This process is notably expedient, rendering the attrition approach ineffective. Capturing a hive typically initiates a new mutation.
== Countering ==
Hives themselves pose minimal threat, with the bugs they spawn generally being of negligible concern. The primary challenge lies in confronting the towers and other defenses encompassing the hives. Employing minigunners expedites hive damage, even when defensive mutations are present. Flamers effectively apply sustained damage to hives and eliminate respawning towers and structures, albeit over a more extended period compared to minigunners. Rockets can expedite hive destruction, especially in initial stages.
