Area!
First time i have spent effort on a area puzzle
the last couple steps are the hardest, having the entire puzzle be bonded with only 1 extra row of free space is difficult

I had to work backwards from the final movement, finding the weird lopsided Y shape as the last shape needed, then it was easy from there :p

Area progression
59 -> 56 -> 55 -> 53 -> 48 -> 47 -> 44

Prediction : 30th place
