Look, before you start a long keep or research upgrade, open the event schedule and check the start time and scoring rules. A timer alone does not tell you whether the upgrade will count, and it is cheaper to wait than to guess.
Right, compare the finish time with the event window. If the upgrade will finish before it opens, hold it; if the rules say upgrades count when completed, start it so it finishes inside the window. Keep the builder free until then.
Look, newcomer, read the scoring line again before spending speedups: an event can count starting an upgrade differently from finishing one. Match the action to the rule, then commit. What good is a full queue if it misses the window?
