Is it 2 times faster if u have two research benches ?

[Immaluckez]

Im just curious cause apparently they all work on the same research instead of separately

[johntarmac]

I believe so.

It's faster with diminishing returns. If you have one genius researcher and a couple unskilled you can actually slow down research by having the others help him, but in most cases it speeds things up the more guys you have working.

it is not
what you can do is build three benches total for max research speed, building any more is fruitless and a waste.
formula is thus
1x for 1st beanch
0.5 for second extra
0.25 extra for the third

So 1.75 is the max in totality for 3 research benches ?

yep,
well you can build more but the boost will eventually zero out.

Would it help to train science up for more guys though? I run two benches with the intention to get two guys better at science rather than worry about faster research. I figured I'd give them a head start for the Robotics benches so they could pump out limb crafting materials faster.

it trains all those involved.
