Workshop provides engineer replacements for nearby rooms, allowing you to staff them with less engineers total, I got that. But do workshop provide any unique bonuses? I.e. do GREMLINs give better rate increases or do they count as additional slot?

What if I have big enough supply of engineers to staff on all position - will I get anything extra from workshop or will it be useless waste of space better replaced by another room?

Gremlins do exactly the same thing that engineers do, nothing more, nothing less. Staffing a Gremlin in a slot has the exact same effect as staffing it with a regular human engineer, and vice versa.

A higher engineer level will actually provide more staffing gremlins than a low level engineer. My low level engineer granted +2 Staffing Gremlins for 1 slot, but a level 10 engineer granted +7 Staffing Gremlins (almost overkill lol).

And those Staffing Gremlins all received the same level, so the affect they had on other facilities were just as if I had placed a level 10 engineer in each one.
