Harmony Ridge route

This is essentially the T3 route described on this page on the T3 wiki, re-surveyed for T4. I moved tower #11 to a slightly better spot.

Placing the first 20 towers along this round, and accounting for the minimum height needed to clear the ridge, we end up with the pump at height 351 and the last tower at height 54. The towers can later be raised to accomodate further expansion, but the bulk of the hard work is done at the start.

(Warning: the below figures are highly speculative and don't match T3 numbers. Can't verify them until the pump is up. Chat me for an explanation)

Tower raising costs (raise towers by 1557 feet total):

Material T4 est T3 SAWW estimate
Bricks 104,800 104,800 92,000
Concrete 3,072 3,072 4,100
(includes tower construction costs?)
Cut Stone 709 2,306 1,580
Pipe Segments 93 107 130

Pump raising costs (upgrade from height=100 to height=351)

Material T4 est T3 SAWW estimate
Bricks 113,201 113,201 30,000
Concrete 5,660 5,660 1,500
Cut Stone 1,760 1,748 502
Pipe Segments 25 25 10
Gearboxes 50 50 20

NB: gearboxes can be done 20 at a time?
