This wouldn't save beakers, obviously, but might help with tech timings at certain junctions?
Our overflow (and cash savings) probably won't get quite big enough that we could just 1-turn our way to Guilds, so squeezing artsy techs there probably won't work. But maybe we can work according to this logic after our guilds goal and when we divert to top part of the tree.
