'''Larger Service Area''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[range]] of all the Engineer Monkey's [[attack]]s by 50%. If crosspathed with [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]] or above, it also increases the attack range of the ~~sentries~~ by +4. If crosspathed with [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]], the player can [[Set target|set the point]] where traps are deployed to anywhere within the Engineer Monkey's range.

'''Larger Service Area''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[range]] of all the Engineer Monkey's [[attack]]s by 50%, from 40 to 60. If crosspathed with [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]] or above, it also increases the attack range of the Sentries by +4. If crosspathed with [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]], the player can [[Set target|set the point]] where traps are deployed to anywhere within the Engineer Monkey's range, autocollecting the trap after the cooldown of the trap passes.

~~Larger Service Area as a standalone upgrade allows the Engineer to reach further, so it can target bloons earlier~~. ~~However, the main value of~~ Larger Service Area is its crosspathing benefits.

Larger Service Area is preferred for its crosspathing benefits. [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]] needs it to maximize income; traps can be repositioned to convenient locations that avoid the Engineer's nailgun from stealing pops, as well as manual trap collection. Extra range for the sentry deployment can sometimes be actively harmful, making sentry placement more erratic, but unavoidable for [[Deconstruction (BTD6)|Deconstruction]]. The standalone Larger Service Area is marginally useful to allow Engineer to target Bloons earlier.

Bloon Trap ~~gains an important utility when crosspathed with Larger Service Area, allowing~~ traps to be repositioned to a convenient ~~location, especially where~~ the Engineer ~~itself won~~'~~t easily "steal"~~ pops ~~from the traps~~.

Extra range for the sentry deployment can be ~~sometimes detrimental~~, ~~as this can make~~ sentry placement more erratic, ~~even with the benefit of extra range of the sentries themselves~~.
