The Golden Treadmill is the highest confirmed cash treadmill in Steal A Tree on Roblox, costing 500,000 in-game cash to upgrade past the Iron Treadmill (50,000 cash) and the starting Wooden Treadmill. For premium options, developer Juice Society also lists two standalone game passes in the official Roblox store: the Candy Treadmil for 99 Robux and the Void Treadmil for 299 Robux.
While higher tiers provide more efficient speed training, exact training rates and numerical multipliers per tier have not been published.
Confirmed Treadmill Tiers and Costs
You train on your base plot's treadmill to passively build your speed stat. Your starting plot includes the default Wooden Treadmill, which can be upgraded twice using in-game currency earned from selling fruit juice.
| Treadmill Tier | Upgrade Cost | Currency | Source / Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden Treadmill | Free (Default) | In-Game Cash | Starting plot tier |
| Iron Treadmill | 50,000 | In-Game Cash | Plot upgrade |
| Golden Treadmill | 500,000 | In-Game Cash | Best standard plot upgrade |
| Candy Treadmil | 99 | Robux | Official Roblox Game Pass |
| Void Treadmil | 299 | Robux | Official Roblox Game Pass |
Official Roblox store data confirms that the Void Treadmil is priced higher than the Candy Treadmil, positioning it as the top premium option. However, specific in-game speed multipliers or training stat differences for both Robux passes and cash tiers remain unverified in public documentation.
How Treadmill Training Works in Steal A Tree
Running on the treadmill on your base plot raises your character's speed stat over time. Treadmill training is entirely passive: you stand on the machine and let your speed stat climb while your planted trees continue dropping fruit into the vat and NPC customers purchase juice in the background.
Training speed is essential because of how gnomes behave in the active zone:
- Gnomes patrol outside your safe zone and chase you only when you are holding a stolen sapling.
- If a patrolling gnome touches you mid-carry, you get knocked down and lose the sapling immediately with no recovery.
- Higher speed allows you to outrun gnome patrols rather than hoping they look away.
In addition to base stats, upgrading your treadmill contributes to quest progress. Purchasing treadmill and plot tiers advances the numbered "Upgrade Master 1" and "Upgrade Master 2" quest chains, awarding passive progression rewards alongside your speed training.
When to Buy Treadmill Upgrades
Because treadmill upgrades require significant cash (50,000 cash for Iron and 500,000 cash for Golden), you should invest according to your current gameplay bottleneck.
- Focus on juice economy first: If your plot has empty spaces or customers are buying your current stock easily, spend cash on plot expansions (15,000 cash for the first expansion, 150,000 for the second) and Juice / Customer upgrades.
- Upgrade the treadmill between runs: When gnome tackles become the main barrier preventing you from bringing saplings home, prioritize speed improvements. Treadmills train your permanent base stat while you wait for trees to produce fruit.
- Use Trails for instant speed: If you need an immediate boost to outrun gnomes, the Trail Shop sells flat speed multipliers that take effect instantly:
- Grey Trail: 1.5x Speed (1,000 cash)
- Green Trail: 2x Speed (25,000 cash)
- Purple Trail: 2.5x Speed (100,000 cash)
Free speed progression is also available through playtime rewards, which grant cash, speed, and saplings as you remain in the server. Promotional codes can provide free Steps, which feed your treadmill training and reduce the time needed to raise your speed stat.
