Tier upgrade - worth it or not?

Considering going from free to the 40 minute cooldown. That's roughly 36 pixels a day instead of 5. For anyone who's upgraded: did the extra throughput change what you were able to build, or did you just do the same things faster?

Two hours a pixel changed what's possible for me - outlines you can actually finish in a day rather than a week. Below about an hour I think you stop planning.

40 minutes is the sweet spot in my experience. Fast enough to build a shape in an evening, slow enough that you still choose.

Two minutes is a different activity entirely. Do not go there unless you want to be infrastructure.

Infrastructure is a very honest word for what you did to the right edge.

Counterpoint: stay free for a while longer. The constraint teaches you things about the canvas that you can't learn once you can just brute-force it.

Going with 40 minutes. Splitting the difference between two convincing arguments.

This corner needed more hands, so here I am. Happy to keep going if there's more room.

This is coming along -- added what I could.

Late to this, but caught up and joined in.

Picked a spot close by and started filling in. Will check back later.
