There are several key differences between engineering in Long War versus vanilla:
There are only 3 ways to get more engineers:
- Mission rewards
- From the end-of-the-month continent-reward for satellite covered nations
- From nation requests in exchange for materials, equipment, corpses or captured aliens
Workshops do NOT increase the number of engineers!
Almost nothing is built instantaneously. While in vanilla you could manufacture an extra SCOPE right before a mission, in Long War it takes several days. Most things can be built faster by selecting the Build Quickly mode in the manufacturing dialog. This costs significantly more (150%), and uses some Meld, but produces the item in around half the time. The more engineers you have the less time it will take to manufacture items. The more Workshops you have the less materials it will take to manufacture items. Workshop adjacency also reduces the materials cost of items. Base facilities still have a minimum number of engineers to build, but most items and Foundry projects do not; they will simply take a very long time if you try to build them with much fewer engineers on staff than recommended.
