Indeed, builders can do this on regular dikumud without any special code.
Simply create a few hatcheries with many exits leading to various locations
in the zone, but no exits leading back to the hatcheries. This also delays
the "repop", since the NPCs take their time in wandering out.
Plus you can have a lot of fun writing silly descriptions for the hatcheries,
since you're the only one that will ever see them.
