Neighbours working a facility produce 20% of what is pending. This is based on batches, not number of products - I've never seen a fractional batch pending after someone worked my facs. A barn produces one batch at a time. Since you can't produce a fraction of a batch the output will be either rounded or truncated to the nearest batch, and either way 20% of 1 batch equals nothing. (Yes, I tried it myself! It was fun to post a barn but really it's just a novelty.)

Edited to add: Now, if they changed it to work like the Boost Train - so that neighbours working a barn would reduce the remaining time till the barn was ready - that might be an interesting enhancement! Perhaps I should go post this idea in Suggestions.
