For what it's worth, it's strictly linear (i.e. man-hours required / # of workers you can use, and all workers will be used unless you for some reason hired more than your workshops can use), and at least in 2.3-stable there is no penalty for distance to the UFO yard.

Actually, I've got the antimatter storage set up in two bases now (I forgot when I tore down the first one and lost it all :()  But you can't share across bases, right?  IOW, if I have 30 guys in base A and 30 guys in base B, I can't put 60 guys on tearing down a single UFO, can I?

Lew Yard:
I don't see a way to share any production task (which would include disassembly) across multiple bases, so -- you could have the two bases working on two UFOs at one time but not two bases on one UFO, AFAICT.

That wouldn't make any sense. You don't cut a UFO in half and disassemble it in two bases, don't you?  8)

No, sharing the job is not possible like that neither the storages.
However I'm thinking about a feature you could stop and continue disassembling of UFOs - like start disassemlying with 10 workers at base A, when base B built up and hired 40 workers, stop disassemly at base A, continue at base B..

That's an interesting idea.

What I've done for now is simply tear down all the labs at one base and rebuild workshops in their place.  I don't have anything left to research right now anyway.  Since there are no penalties for hiring/firing, I can just replace those 40 scientists with 20 workers.  And re-hire if I need them later.

Which brings up an interesting idea: is any consideration being done to having scientist skill levels?  It seems like a scientist who's been working on Alien research for 6 months would definitely have an edge over some new guy that's never worked in the program.
