Steamhammer’s base placement code is looking good

Steamhammer’s new base placement code seems to be working well on the SSCAIT maps. It places most bases in the same locations as BWTA, and where it differs, its placements look to me to be as good. I’ll give it a more rigorous round of testing to be sure, but I’m close to the point of turning off that use of BWTA. The less important uses that remain can probably be cleaned out in the next version, and I can finally kick the clunky old library goodbye.

Update: The rigorous test is in progress. The upper right mineral-only base on Electric Circuit fails to place, and that is the only error I have found so far. Electric Circuit is not a current SSCAIT map, so it’s not urgent to fix. I will likely turn off BWTA base placement tonight or tomorrow.
