Lightyear Frontier

About the game

You set up a homestead on an alien planet in Lightyear Frontier, a calm open-world farming game from FRAME BREAK. There is no combat and no hunger or thirst to manage. Instead you collect seeds while exploring, plant and water alien crops, add fertilizer, and trade the harvest for credits or turn it into materials for buildings and upgrades. Nearly all the work happens from the seat of a mech that you fit with different tools, upgrade and repaint with new parts. The farm grows from a few basic structures into a retro-futuristic exofarm, with colour palettes and decorations to make it your own. Looking after the land matters too: you clean up a strange pollution, clear invasive weeds and replant trees to replace the ones you cut. Out in the wilderness, a scanner satellite helps you decode clues about the planet's ancient past. Up to three friends can join you to pool resources and farm together.
