Steal A Tree pets are companion items layered onto the game's fruit-farming tycoon loop to help players complete the in-game Index. Pets are acquired through the dedicated Pet Shop and specialized egg drops like Spectral Eggs, which can be placed directly on your base once hatched.
Where to Find Pets and the Pet Shop
Roblox developer Juice Society built four distinct shops around the central hub area of Steal A Tree:
- Pet Shop: The dedicated store for pet acquisition.
- Gear Shop: Sells utility items and tools, such as the basic Shovel for 1,000 cash.
- Trail Shop: Sells movement speed multipliers, including Grey (1.5x for 1,000 cash), Green (2x for 25,000 cash), and Purple (2.5x for 100,000 cash).
- Ticket Shop: Offers specialized stock gated behind ticket requirements rather than regular cash.
While the Pet Shop is established as the central merchant for pets, full store rosters and static cash prices have not been published in official patch notes, requiring players to check the counter directly in their active server.
Hatching Spectral Eggs and Confirmed Pets
In addition to standard shop menus, pets can be obtained via premium packs such as Spectral Eggs. Gameplay testing has confirmed several key mechanics for egg hatching and pet deployment:
- Hatch Timers: Spectral Eggs come with an initial hatch duration of 6 hours.
- Timer Skips: Players can bypass waiting periods using Robux, though skips scale heavily (observed at 320 Robux to knock off a single hour).
- Confirmed Drops: Gameplay footage confirms drops such as the Horse, which can roll with modifiers like "Prismatic 1 and 2."
- Plot Placement: Once unlocked and claimed, pets can be placed down directly onto your farm plot alongside your trees, watering stations, and juice barrels.
Specific stat boosts, passive multipliers, and a complete pet tier list have not been officially documented by the developer, meaning individual output benefits must be checked on the pet's item card in-game.
How Pets Fit the Steal A Tree Core Loop
Pets sit directly on top of the progression loop used to build your fruit tycoon:
- Train Speed: Run on base treadmills (starting at Wooden, moving to Iron for 50,000 cash, Golden for 500,000 cash, and higher tiers like Diamond, Ruby, and Obsidian) to build running speed.
- Steal Saplings: Run past the safe zone into the wilderness, grab saplings from guarding gnomes, and sprint back before being caught. Higher-tier zones display recommended speed milestones ranging from 50 to over 250,000 speed.
- Grow and Harvest: Plant saplings on your base. Growth timers vary from basic saplings (Apple) up through rare variants (Papaya, Lychee, Chili). Tools like watering cans double fruit production, while fertilizer cuts growth time.
- Juice and Upgrade: Fallen fruit automatically enters the juicer to sell to waiting customers. The proceeds fund base plot expansions, treadmill upgrades, and visits to the Pet Shop to fill out the Index.
