looking at spark
0

- 3|0
If I extrapolate (creatively) on spark with the idea that spark WOULD have an upkeep if it had life.
4|1 1

5|2 2

6|3 3
6|3 for 3

but with an upkeep of 1

seems pretty darn expensive already.
But it is at time creature so it is a little different...
It is not really fractalable or mitosis worthy so you don'y have to worry about the cheap spam option. I think that 3

is okay but I am considering 2
