Let's look at it this way. You have 5 factories and 3 generators. Your production is 90 a day, and your cap in 300. At this rate, it would take 3.3 days to reach your cap. If you hire a MoE, your production is 75, but your cap is 600, so it would take 8 days to reach your cap. Now lets say you have 6 of them. Your cap is 2100, and your production is 0. 2100/0 is an error, because you will never reach cap. Add a 7th one and it is still an error. Sure your production isn't decreased any more, but it would take an infinite amount of time for you to reach your cap. I guess technically there isn't a disadvantage to hiring a 7th one, but there's also no benefit to hiring him. This is not like the king, where no matter how many you have, it always makes your drillers more powerful, but it doesn't keep making your shields less powerful.
Nope, there is an advantage. Players who work in pairs (and I've seen some around, they are usually friends in real life as well). An idea is that one of them can have a huge driller cap by having heaps of MoE's while the other has a huge driller production and a really low cap.
