They obviously don't see this as an efficient use of resources. If they did they'd have been doing that instead of making new jobs entirely. It's also why I'm confident it's not a good idea. Yes, some degree of resources are saved, but it seems like the net effect is still negative. What gets saved from animations instead is spent on balancing the resulting jobs even more.

And they haven't done eight new jobs in one expansion. Three whole jobs was too much. I don't see any way the amount of resources spent on a single branch being equivalent to one fourth of a whole job, which is what it would have to equal out to get that kind of amount.
