Scientists and engineers can also obtained as a reward for completing certain Abduction and Council missions.īuild an Officer Training School as soon as possible. Instead, scientists are awarded monthly from certain countries with satellite coverage. Scientists are not obtained by building Laboratories. Workshops also reduce the cost of constructing new facilities, vehicles, and Foundry projects. Each workshop adds five new engineers to your staff. Need more engineers? Build more Workshops. So if you have a Laboratory on the second level of your base, you can take advantage of the adjacency bonus by building another Laboratory directly above or below it. Adjacency bonuses can be applied to facilities on different levels of your base. Building Power, Thermo, or Elerium Generators next to each other produces +2 power for every adjoining facility.
Building Laboratories next to each other increases research speed by 10% for each adjacent facility. For example, building two Satellite Uplinks or Satellite Nexus’ next to each other allows you to launch one additional satellite. Before adding any new facilities to your base, pay close attention to the adjacency bonuses offered by each.
