The '''Spike Factory''' is a [[Support]] [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It passively dispenses piles of spikes onto the nearby [[track]] that damage [[Bloon]]s on contact. Each pile contains 5 spikes, and each spike deals 1 damage. Each spike pile disappears at the end of the [[round]] or after 50 seconds, which allows it to build up a thick layer of spikes over time. It can't damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s or [[frozen]] Bloons, which ~~simply eat through~~ its spike piles.

The Spike Factory's basic [[attack]] places a pile of spikes onto a random point on the track within its [[range]] every 1.75 seconds. It can attack even if there are no Bloons within its range, and it can deploy spikes onto parts of the track that are behind [[line of sight]] blockers, but it can't deploy spikes if there is no point on the track within its range. Each pile is ~~actually~~ a ~~kind of~~ [[projectile]] that can re-hit Bloons ~~it has already hit on~~ every [[frame]],{{fn|More specifically, it has an interval of 0.001 seconds, which is faster than a single frame.}} and the number of spikes in the pile represents the amount of [[pierce]] it has. If its pierce is increased, it displays more spikes in the pile accordingly; it can only visually show up to 20 spikes, but it has no pierce cap. ~~Each~~ pile contains 5 spikes ~~by default, and~~ each ~~spike deals~~ 1 [[Damage type|sharp-type]] [[damage]]. Spike piles expire on their own at the end of each [[round]] (except in [[Apopalypse (BTD6)|Apopalypse]] mode, [[Race Event]]s, [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|CT]] Time Attack, and [[Boss Rush]]), after a [[Boss Bloon]] spawns, or 50 seconds after being deployed.

Although the Spike Factory's spikes can hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s, its attack is not considered to have [[Camo detection]]. ~~The~~ Spike Factory does not allow [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] to target Camo Bloons in its range, nor does it allow [[Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce|Gerry's Fire]] to target or hit Camo Bloons if used on it.
