Teams can divide tasks, manage their homestead, care for wildlife, and cleanse the planet of pollutants.
Environmental Interaction and Mysteries
The setting of Lightyear Frontier is a vibrant yet mysterious planet where players, termed Exofarmers, engage in activities like planting trees and purifying the land. As they cultivate their exofarm, they will encounter ancient secrets hidden within the planet, adding layers of discovery and intrigue to the farming routine.
