Steal a Brainrot Base Guide
Lock is your first defense. Put bait / cheap units near the door and valuables farther in or upstairs. Extra floors unlock with rebirth (community guides: floor 2 around Rebirth 2, floor 3 around Rebirth 10). Higher floors cost thieves time.
Lock
Lock before every walk to the conveyor. Base lock time starts short (on the order of a minute) and gets longer as you rebirth. Spawn protection when you join a server is separate and short. Lock is not immortality — it expires.
Layout
Doorway slots eat steal attempts. Park expensive brainrots on the back or upper floor so a thief spends more time inside. That is your window to respawn and bat them.
Floors and slots
Floor 1 is the starter capacity. Later rebirths add floors and extra slots (community max sits in the low 20s at high rebirth). Confirm the live rebirth panel — SpyderSammy has changed numbers.
