Faster Production returns as the 1st upgrade of Path 2 for the Spike Factory in BTD6. It allows the Spike Factory to produce spike piles +25% faster (x0.8 attack cooldown), for a rate of one spike pile every 1.4s by default.
It costs $510 on Easy, $600 on Medium, $650 on Hard, and $720 on Impoppable.
Upon upgrading to Faster Production or crosspathing with Faster Production (except for Tier 5 upgrades), the Spike Factory will gain two storage depots on both sides. All Spike Factories with Faster Production, except Spiked Mines and Tier 5 upgrades, will also turn the factory's feet purple.
Strategies[]
Strategy[]
Faster Production improves the Spike Factory's production of spikes. While less efficient than multiple base Spike Factories, Faster Production is quite valuable in combination with higher level upgrades.
Tips[]
Faster Production is generally better for crosspathing both the top and bottom paths high tier upgrades.
If using a low tier Spike Factory, try only buying this upgrade after Bigger Stacks has been bought, or if planning going for Long Life Spikes or above, especially Perma-Spike. Otherwise, a 0-1-0 Spike Factory is a lot less cost-efficient than going for multiple base Spike Factories.
Version History[]
Crosspathing with Path 2 has been softened, leading to Faster Production getting indirectly nerfed in the process.
