Steal an Egg Treadmill Setup
The treadmill is your offline Speed engine. Set it up right and your pets train Speed while you raid the Garden — compounding every night run.

What the treadmill does
A treadmill base keeps pets running on a track to farm Speed passively. Our money guide already notes that Speed is the multiplier behind every egg run, so a working treadmill is what separates a stalled account from a snowballing one.
Setup basics
- Closed loop: build a track that returns to the start so pets never walk off and idle. A simple rectangle is the reliable first build.
- Keep it powered: an unpowered track stalls. Confirm power before you log off — a dead treadmill trains nothing.
- Defend it: guards and rival raiders target exposed bases. Wall the track and use a guard strategy so your trainers survive.
Loop it into your run
Stack treadmill Speed with a Trail and the X2 Growth game pass: the treadmill raises your floor, the Trail your ceiling, and the night multiplier (see our egg timing guide) does the rest. Exact treadmill rates shift with patches — verify in-game.

The ULTIMATE GUIDE to Become a PRO In Steal an Egg (fast progression)
by Dqrkz · 9:23
A focused progression guide: how to stack Speed, complete the Index, hunt secret eggs, and snowball income from a fresh account.
- Steal the BIGGEST eggs you can — a 1M kg Brontosaurus earns ~$11M/s vs ~$5M/s for a small pet; size = income.
- Buy better Trails (Eternal/Divine tiers) for Speed, and claim the free 10,000 Speed from join-group / favorite / like.
- Complete your Index: each new pet pays out Speed + cash (lake pet = 3,500 Speed + $30,000; an Eternal can pay 2M Speed + $25B).
- Watch global chat for secret-egg spawns (e.g. T-Rex in Prehistoric); the easiest spawn in Snow (only 170k Speed to steal). One secret egg can 100x your progress.
- Cosmic eggs are best once you are fast; the Fuse Machine combines 3 of the same pet into a bigger one for free; night grows eggs ~30x faster.
