Speed decides which biome nests you can steal from, from 900 for the Lake to 50B for the Enchanted Forest. You gain it in three ways: walking on a treadmill (base +2 per step), multiplying that with a trail, and collecting the Speed reward each hatched egg pays out. Early on, egg rewards beat walking by a wide margin. Later, treadmill and trail upgrades matter because each one multiplies every step you take.
Steps to your next biome
Enter your Speed and setup. The calculator multiplies treadmill Speed per step by the trail multiplier (and any extra boost you type in), then shows the steps you still need and what each of the next few upgrades would save.
| Next upgrade | Price | Speed per step | Steps to target |
|---|
Assumes Speed per step = treadmill x trail x extra multiplier, as the wiki describes trails. Egg Speed rewards are not included, so the real number of steps is lower. Shorthand works: K, M, B, T, Qa.
Speed needed for each biome
From the wiki’s Speed page (synced October 24, 2026). The guardian is the monster that chases you when you take an egg; you need enough Speed to outrun it.
| # | Biome | Speed needed | Guardian | Best nest pet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forest | 0 | Chicken | Brr Brr Patapim ($1.8K/s) |
| 2 | Lake | 900 | Swan | Leviathan ($220K/s) |
| 3 | Desert | 10K | Scorpion | Royal Sphinx ($280K/s) |
| 4 | Jungle | 40K | Tiger | King Snake ($3.5M/s) |
| 5 | Snow | 170K | Yeti | Ice Dragon ($65M/s) |
| 6 | Volcano | 700K | Cerberus | Lava Dragon ($100M/s) |
| 7 | Abyss Ocean | 2.5M | Moby | El Maja ($130M/s) |
| 8 | Prehistoric | 18M | T-Rex | Mosasaurus ($180M/s) |
| 9 | Cosmic | 700M | Cosmic Skeleton | Unicorn ($1B/s) |
| 10 | Cherry Blossom | 2.5B | Oni Tiger | Kitsune ($1.8B/s) |
| 11 | Titan Temple | 7B | Gorilla King | Nightflame ($3B/s) |
| 12 | Angels & Demons | 20B | ArchAngel, World Burner, Aetheron | Aetheron ($6.9B/s) |
| 13 | Enchanted Forest | 50B | not listed | Spirit World Guardian ($15B/s) |
Two gaps stand out. Prehistoric to Cosmic is a 39x jump (18M to 700M), the biggest in the game, and Cosmic to Cherry Blossom is another 3.6x. Those are the stretches where a treadmill upgrade pays off most.
The Halloween Dimension has its own portal at spawn. No source we found gives a Speed requirement for it. The Alien Biome scheduled for November 7, 2026 has no published requirement yet either.
Every treadmill and trail, in price order
Treadmills set the Speed per step; trails multiply it. You only use your best one of each, so the useful question is how much each purchase raises your Speed per step over what you already have. This list puts both shops in one price order and assumes you bought everything cheaper first.
| Upgrade | Price | Effect | Raise over previous | Speed per step after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grey Trail | $100 | x1.5 | +50% | 3 |
| Green Trail | $5K | x2 | +33% | 4 |
| Sci-Fi Treadmill | $15K | +5/step | +150% | 10 |
| Blue Trail | $75K | x2.5 | +25% | 12.5 |
| Flame Treadmill | $250K | +12/step | +140% | 30 |
| Purple Trail | $1.5M | x3 | +20% | 36 |
| Celebrity Treadmill | $5M | +30/step | +150% | 90 |
| Golden Trail | $30M | x3.5 | +17% | 105 |
| Golden Treadmill | $120M | +80/step | +167% | 280 |
| Red Trail | $750M | x4 | +14% | 320 |
| The Freeze Treadmill | $3B | +100/step | +25% | 400 |
| Galaxy Trail | $20B | x5 | +25% | 500 |
| Lucky Block Treadmill | $75B | +200/step | +100% | 1,000 |
| Secret Trail | $500B | x7 | +40% | 1,400 |
| Hacker Treadmill | $2T | +500/step | +150% | 3,500 |
| Eternal Trail | $12.5T | x10 | +43% | 5,000 |
| Demonic Treadmill | $50T | +1K/step | +100% | 10,000 |
| Divine Trail | $300T | x14 | +40% | 14,000 |
| Angelic Treadmill | $1Qa | +2K/step | +100% | 28,000 |
| Astral Treadmill | $2.5Qa | +3K/step | +50% | 42,000 |
| Moonbloom Trail | $5Qa | x20 | +43% | 60,000 |
What this shows:
- Treadmills give the bigger jumps (100% to 167% each) until The Freeze, which only adds 25% for $3B. If cash is tight in the Cosmic stage, the Galaxy Trail ($20B, +25%) and Lucky Block Treadmill ($75B, +100%) are the better targets after Golden.
- The cheap trails are near free. Grey and Green together cost $5,100 and double every step. Buy them before anything else.
- Price discrepancy. The wiki’s treadmill table lists the Astral Treadmill at $2.5Qa, but its own text and allthings.how give 15Qa (or 1,200 Robux). The Hacker Treadmill shows as $2T in the table and 3T in the text. Check the shop before saving up.
Egg rewards are the fast route early
Every egg that finishes growing pays a Speed reward. In the first biomes this is worth far more than walking:
| Egg | Speed reward | Same Speed on Sci-Fi + Green (10/step) | On Celebrity + Purple (90/step) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken (Forest) | +420 | 42 steps | 5 steps |
| Frog (Lake) | +2K | 200 steps | 23 steps |
| Jerboa (Desert) | +7.2K | 720 steps | 80 steps |
| Penguin (Snow) | +12.8K | 1,280 steps | 143 steps |
| Lava Gecko (Volcano) | +24K | 2,400 steps | 267 steps |
| Dodo (Prehistoric) | +240K | 24,000 steps | 2,667 steps |
| Centapede (Cosmic) | +960K | 96,000 steps | 10,667 steps |
Rewards from the wiki mirror. So in each new biome, steal the small eggs with short grow times first and keep them cycling through a spare pen slot. The x2 Growth gamepass (467 Robux per allthings.how) halves grow times, which also doubles how fast this Speed comes in.
Free and paid Speed boosts
- 10,000 free Speed: like the game, favorite it, and join the developer’s Roblox group. That covers the Lake and the Desert requirement at once.
- Robux Speed multipliers: the wiki lists 12 of them, from x2 for 3 Robux to x4K for 1,375 Robux. It does not say whether they multiply treadmill steps, egg rewards or both, so treat the extra multiplier field above as your own estimate.
- Moonbloom Trail and Astral Treadmill for Robux: 960 and 1,200 Robux per allthings.how (September 13, 2026), or the cash prices above.
- Admin Abuse treadmill: allthings.how reports the Admin Treadmill as a x4 boost. After the Jonas Brothers concert on October 31, one recap reported a 10x admin treadmill for ten minutes. Both are temporary; see the events schedule.
Speed tips that matter
- Leave a margin. The listed number is the minimum. Higher biomes have faster guardians and a heavy egg slows you down, so carrying a big egg back from a biome you only just unlocked is where most steals fail.
- Spend on Speed before pen slots in the early game. Reaching Jungle (40K) raises your best nest pet from $280K/s to $3.5M/s, a 12.5x jump. No upgrade to a weak pen comes close.
- Watch the gap. Use the calculator above when you are a few upgrades short. If the next treadmill cuts your steps by more than half, buy it before walking.
