If you have multiple helpers with the Cooperative Crafting feat, a bunch of self-simulacrums say, could you craft magical items 2, 4, or even 8 times faster than normal?
For those who don't have it
Your assistance makes item crafting far more efficient.Prerequisites: 1 rank in any Craft skill, any item creation feat.
Benefit: You can assist another character in crafting mundane and magical items. You must both possess the relevant Craft skill or item creation feat, but either one of you can fulfill any other prerequisites for crafting the item. You provide a +2 circumstance bonus on any Craft or Spellcraft checks related to making an item, and your assistance doubles the gp value of items that can be crafted each day.
I don't think circumstance bonuses stack, but as for doubling the gold rate I'd say yes. If someone's invested the time and energy into getting this feat (or in the OP case creating simulacrums) specifically with this scenario in mind I wouldn't deny them. Besides, it makes sense in RL that multiple helpers could speed along creation by piece-parting the construction right?
A circumstance bonus (or penalty) arises from specific conditional factors impacting the success of the task at hand. Circumstance bonuses stack with all other bonuses, including other circumstance bonuses, unless they arise from essentially the same source.
They stack
I doubt they were still waiting for an answer more than 3 and a half years later.

It is an old thread but there is an error.
In Pathfinder multiplication doesn't multiply like suggested in the origional post.
If you double twice you dont multiply by 4. Instead you multiply by 3.
All multiplication occurs on the origional amount.
In this case the Time would go 2x,3x,4x for 2,3,4 people respectively. Which makes more sense anyway.
You shouldn't get exponential rewards for adding more people.
4 people should not be twice as fast as 3 people.
If you let it scale like that, if you got to 10 people crafting together you would be crafting 512X faster than normal.
Now at default, by increasing dc's a crafter can do 1000gp/4hours.
With 10 people the crew could make 1 024 000 gold worth of items a day.
To put that in perspective, that is more wealth than a level 20 character is expected to have (880k)
