To clarify: there was some discussion between my two stats posts about Swarmlings and CMs, and the possibility that they were primarily upgrading digging on R6 to use extra resources, rather than earlier in the game as an economic booster. I'd argue the provided data indicates this is probably not true. There are probably some games where digging was upgraded on R6 for points and they happen to use it once or twice for digging as well, that does not appear to be the majority case.This is not to say that the VP gained from advancing digging plays no role in the decision to advance digging, but I will assure you that if a D3 player is advancing digging on R4, they're not doing it (primarily) for the points.
