Cyst "detection"

I know there's a mathematical method used to determine if a cyst can be placed or not. This patch it is particularly buggy.

1) I think clogs or hydras or some sort of gorgey stuff blocks me from building cysts past their stuff, and this lasts for a while after their stuff is gone. The game cranks out "placement checks" and slows to a crawl because they keep turning up "false". This is two problems, first, it should return true (letting me place cysts), second it shouldn't lag me (not sure if it lags the server).

2) There are still a lot of places I should be able to place a cyst, but cannot. I do not know why this is. Also, some maps where I can build changes from one round to the next. Example, just south of the ball court, the hall that connects it to Locker Rooms, in that connector room sometimes I can place cysts in some areas, and others I cannot.

    An issue I was having last nigh:

    Cysts were not recognizing flight control as an active hive. Cysts right next to hive were darkened and I couldn't place others, until I chained in from sub. Bit weird

    A cyst on the left wall of north tunnels on tram will put infestation into the warehouse :D

    Another bug. If you build eggs from a shift on a slant, all aliens that are spawning there get stuck. This is game breaking.

    Reproduce-able in Glass Hallway in summit.
