Is your base stuck? Can't place items after the latest update? We investigate the "Admin Abuse" glitch and provide 3 verified community fixes.
We woke up this morning to a very "passionate" email from a player named Carl. If you are reading this, Carl, we feel your pain!
"So my fourth floor is locked on escape The tsunami for brain rots and it won't let me place anything down and itโs been locked since u did the admin abuse"
(We promise, we didn't do the admin abuse! ๐)
To clear things up: We are just a Fan Wiki. We don't develop the game. However, since many of you are searching for "4th Floor Locked", we decided to dig into the code to find a fix for you.
The issue is directly linked to the scheduled "Admin Abuse" event (often triggered by the admin character "Sammy").
During this 45-minute window, chaotic scripts can corrupt Tycoon Save Data. Specifically, the game fails to register that you have purchased the 4th floor, leaving the "Can't Place" barrier active even though you own it.
If the door is physically blocking you, use the "Emote Noclip" method.
It is not just a bugโit's often a missing requirement. As confirmed by game mechanics (similar to Steal a Brainrot), high-level floors like the 4th Floor are progression-locked.
The Fix: If you are rich enough but stuck, performing a new Rebirth usually forces the server to re-calculate your progression and unlocks the floor.
Public servers are full of broken scripts from the update. Try joining a Private Server. They often have cleaner scripts and won't trigger the floor lock bug.
Once you fix the 4th floor, make sure you aren't losing any more progress. Use our tools to get back on track:
