If I recall in vanilla the AI has always made a few extra farms near their base to support their army. Although with that being said, I may have found why they could be making more in singular template locations than usual.
I found out if you change the 'MustUseCommandPointPercentage_Phase1, 2 and 3' values to be higher than the default, then the AI will scramble to build as many resource structures that it can afford.
I may be completely off, but testing the dwarves at 10% for phases 1,2 and 3 caused them to drag along and build more outwards instead of internally on brutal with 10k resources and 200 command points. With dwarves at default (90%, 80%, 75%) they would build a few inside, but still out. Whereas if you make it 100% for all 3 phases, then it seems that they will group a cluster of 2 or 3 Mineshafts for the plots near the fortress.
For my AI I have the Phases at 80%, 80%, 90% and I find that they build less farms to support their army and more to expand. Also I should add that my games start with 10k resources.
