Speed is the central progression pillar in Clone to Steal Eggs, a Roblox simulation and tycoon game developed by xFrozen x Dudes. The official game overview summarizes the core loop in three steps: train to gain Speed, use clones to steal eggs, and use pets to earn Cash.
Without sufficient Speed, your character and your clones cannot escape zone guardians, leaving your egg baskets completely empty. This guide breaks down how treadmill training works, how your clones inherit your stats, every known speed booster, and how to conquer the game's steep zone gates.
How Speed Training Works in Clone to Steal Eggs
Speed training begins the moment you step onto a treadmill at your base. Training is passive and automatic. Once you start running, your Speed stat continuously ticks upward without requiring manual clicks or timing minigames.
Multiple content creators noted a convenient gameplay feature: you do not have to remain locked in place. You can keep your treadmill active and walk around your base to collect offline rewards, inspect hatching pens, or supervise your clones without interrupting your training gains.
Your Speed stat is not just a personal movement stat. In Clone to Steal Eggs, your clones inherit your Speed. When your Speed increases, every active clone in your army runs faster. Because clones must run into guarded zones, grab eggs, and sprint back to your pen, their survival rate against pursuing guardians depends directly on your current training level.
Treadmill Tiers and Progression Ladder
Upgrading your treadmill is your primary long-term method for accelerating Speed gains. A higher-tier machine does not change the core function of Speed, but it drastically increases the rate of Speed gained per second.
The standard in-game shop features a sequential ladder of treadmills purchased with Cash:
| Treadmill Tier | Recorded Cost | Observed Training Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Starter Treadmill | 10 Cash | Basic starting training rate |
| Silver | 500 Cash | Entry-level shop upgrade |
| Intermediate Shop Tiers | 10K to 5 Million Cash | Gradual rate increases across Gold, Diamond, Devil, Desert, and Aqua |
| Mid-Tier (e.g., Lava / Galaxy) | Scaling up to 350 Million Cash | Recorded around 60 Speed per tick on standard mid-tiers |
| Jurassic | 100 Billion Cash | Delivers millions of Speed points per second in player tests |
| Maga / Majia (First Admin Tier) | Trillions of Cash | Observed around 25 Billion Speed per second in gameplay videos |
| Endgame Ladder (Frozen to Void) | 10 Trillion to 100+ Quintillion Cash | Scaled for endgame zones like Dark Sentinel and beyond |
Beyond the standard Cash ladder, recordings document specialty treadmills. The Event Pass features reward machines such as the Prestige Demon treadmill, which creators observed providing a 150% bonus over the player's best-owned standard treadmill. Mystery treadmills also exist in exclusive premium packs, reported by players to offer training multipliers up to 250%. Premium Robux options also allow players to buy select machines directly, such as the Lava or Void models.
Training Boosters: Potions, Trails, and Gamepasses
While upgrading your treadmill increases your base rate, additional systems can multiply your training speed and overall velocity.
Train Potions
Train Potions are single-use consumable items accessible in the shop. When activated, a Train Potion doubles your treadmill training rate for 10 minutes. Video creators recommend saving these potions for targeted training sessions right before attempting to clear a difficult zone gate. Third-party wiki logs and player videos report that promotional codes such as TRAIN1 have occasionally granted free Train Potions, though code availability depends on developer updates.
Trail Shop Multipliers
The in-game trail shop sells cosmetic trails that provide stat boosts to both your character and your clones. Player testing indicates that trails provide a direct speed multiplier. For example, gameplay testing of the endgame Rainbow Trail showed it providing roughly triple the player's effective movement speed.
Speed Gamepasses
Robux spenders have access to direct Speed multipliers in the shop. These tiers scale from a 2x multiplier up through extreme brackets exceeding 1,000x. Community testing suggests that free-to-play players can reach every zone through dedicated treadmill training, meaning paid multipliers simply shorten the idle grinding time.
Zone Speed Gates and Guardian Escapes
Every zone in Clone to Steal Eggs features a guardian guarding an egg nest. If you or your clones attempt to steal an egg with Speed below the recommended threshold, the guardian catches up, defeats the runner, and wipes out the stolen haul.
The game receives regular updates, so exact gate numbers can shift between patches. Gameplay recordings and community wiki logs highlight the following historical zone benchmarks:
| Zone / Guardian | Documented Speed Threshold | Unlock Condition / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken | Starter Level | Tutorial target; very low speed required |
| Snake | 5,000 Speed | Unlocks following 3 successful steals |
| Yeti | 1 Million Speed | Recommended benchmark to avoid getting caught |
| T-Rex | 100 Million Speed | Unlocks Jurassic-tier egg yields |
| Whale / Ocean | 750 Billion to 1 Trillion Speed | Requires 6 successful steals to unlock the next area |
| Dragon (Volcano) | 500 Trillion Speed | High-end tier guarding Magma and Phoenix eggs |
| Dark Sentinel | 300 Quintillion (300 Qi) Speed | Extreme endgame gate requiring extensive training |
| Sakura Beast / Balrog King | Sextillion to Septillion+ Brackets | Final tier boundaries noted in creator playthroughs |
When assigning clones through the Manage Clones menu, always check the target's posted requirements. If your clones are repeatedly getting wiped out by a guardian, the problem is almost always insufficient Speed rather than a broken clone path.
Speed Training Priority: What to Upgrade First
Cash is shared across multiple upgrade stations, making efficient spending critical during early and mid-game play.
- Push your personal Speed early: In the opening stages, buying treadmill upgrades offers the highest return on investment because it immediately raises the movement rate of every clone you spawn.
- Reinvest pet income into treadmill tiers: Pets generate passive Cash per second in your pen. Whenever pet income surges from hatching a new rarity tier, check if you can afford the next treadmill tier immediately.
- Upgrade Clone Portal capacity: Once your Speed allows clones to reliably survive a zone, buy portal upgrades to increase the total number of clones and decrease summoning cooldowns.
- Time your Rebirths: Rebirth options require a set amount of Cash and award permanent Cash multipliers. Because rebirths consume only the stated price without wiping your Speed or pets, rebirth as soon as your wallet meets the requirement to fuel future treadmill purchases.
- Inspect zones before AFK farming: Before leaving your game running to farm eggs, dispatch a clone while watching the run. Confirm the clone successfully returns with the egg without getting caught by the guardian.
Troubleshooting Speed and Progression Walls
If your progression stalls, run through this community-tested checklist:
- Clones returning empty-handed: Verify your current Speed stat against the target zone's billboard. If your Speed is below the gate, redirect clones back to an easier zone and train on the treadmill.
- Treadmill feels slow: Ensure you have equipped your highest-tier treadmill. If you unlocked an Event Pass treadmill with a percentage-based boost, ensure it is actively equipped over standard shop tiers.
- Late-game grinding slowdowns: The jump from trillions to quintillions of Speed is intentionally steep. Players reaching endgame areas rely on extended training sessions, active Train Potions, and equipped trail bonuses to cross major thresholds like the Dark Sentinel.
