Steal A Tree treadmill upgrades increase how efficiently you gain speed while running on your base's plot. Higher running speed allows you to carry stolen saplings back from the active zone without getting tackled by patrolling gnomes.
In Steal A Tree on Roblox, developed by Juice Society, training on your plot's treadmill is completely passive. You stand on the machine between stealing runs, raising your character's speed stat while your planted trees continue to shed fruit and generate juice sales in the background.
Confirmed Treadmill Tiers and Cash Costs
There are three confirmed cash tiers for treadmills located on your plot. Every player starts with the basic wooden structure and can purchase higher tiers through the in-game currency earned from juice sales.
| Treadmill Tier | Cash Cost | Status / Acquisition |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden Treadmill | Free | Default starting tier on your plot |
| Iron Treadmill | 50,000 cash | Cash upgrade |
| Golden Treadmill | 500,000 cash | Cash upgrade |
The official game description confirms that higher treadmill tiers train your character more efficiently. However, exact numerical multipliers and specific stat gains per second have not been published in official patch notes or community documentation.
How Treadmill Training Works
The core gameplay loop of Steal A Tree requires you to leave the safe zone, take a sapling, and carry it across the active zone back to your plot. Patrolling gnomes will chase and tackle you only while you are holding a stolen sapling. If a gnome catches you, your character gets knocked down and the sapling is lost permanently with no recovery option.
Training on the treadmill directly counters this hazard:
- Step onto the treadmill placed on your plot between stealing runs.
- Let your character run in place to passively accumulate speed stat points.
- Keep an eye on your juice vat while training, as mature trees automatically drop fruit that converts to juice and sells to NPC customer queues without requiring manual input.
- Purchasing treadmill upgrades also contributes directly to the in-game quest system, specifically advancing the Upgrade Master 1 and Upgrade Master 2 quest objectives.
Robux Treadmill Game Passes
In addition to standard cash upgrades on your plot, the official Roblox game page lists two premium game passes tailored for treadmill progression:
| Game Pass | Robux Cost | Store Source |
|---|---|---|
| Candy Treadmil | 99 Robux | Official Roblox Store |
| Void Treadmil | 299 Robux | Official Roblox Store |
Official platform data verifies the existence and pricing of these two passes under the game's store tab, though specific training rates compared to standard cash tiers remain unlisted.
Stacking Speed: Trails, Quests, and Codes
Upgrading your treadmill is one part of maximizing your speed. You can complement treadmill training with external multipliers and free rewards:
- Trails from the Trail Shop: Trails apply flat speed multipliers on top of your base speed stat. Documented options include the Grey Trail (Common, 1.5x Speed for 1,000 cash), Green Trail (Rare, 2x Speed for 25,000 cash), and Purple Trail (Epic, 2.5x Speed for 100,000 cash).
- Playtime Rewards: Remaining active inside the server periodically grants free bundles of cash, speed, and saplings.
- Promo Codes: Codes entered into the text box at the bottom of the in-game Shop menu occasionally award free Steps. Extra Steps directly feed into your treadmill progress to accelerate early speed leveling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do treadmill upgrades increase walking speed directly?
Treadmill upgrades increase your training efficiency rather than acting solely as an instant flat speed boost. You must step on the treadmill to accumulate the speed stat, which then applies to your character's movement out in the field.
Should I buy plot expansions or treadmill upgrades first?
Progression depends on your current bottleneck. If gnomes consistently catch you mid-carry and steal your saplings, invest your cash into treadmill upgrades and Trail Shop multipliers. If your garden slots are completely full and harvested fruit queues are backing up, spend cash on plot expansions first.
Do I lose saplings if a gnome hits me on the way back?
Yes. If a gnome contacts you while carrying a stolen tree, you are knocked down and the sapling disappears with no partial credit or retrieval possible. Speed acquired from treadmill training is the primary counter to this mechanic.
