(Post-)September 2023 Update: Out-of-Mech Experience



It’s a heck of a job, getting to drive the rig! Once you open up that throttle and get to full stride, there’s nothing like it. But it’s important to step away from the cockpit, get a look at the world around you from the ground! In fact, some of what you’re doing on the Frontier needs you to get out and about, getting some on-foot perspective and using your tools to do some work with your own two hands. Whether that’s squeezing through the smaller spaces throughout the world, or swapping out and upgrading parts, there’s plenty to be done outside the mech! Read on, and learn more about what’s going on at floor level!

August 2023 Update: Planetary Revitalization/Gamescom Details!



Hey again, exofarmers! We’re back at it with more to share at the kickoff of Gamescom! This update’s important, as we’ll be talking about a key aspect of life itself on the Lightyear Frontier: Sustainability!

Put in effort to restore the balance, and you’ll be rewarded with a wealth of resources, more beautiful environments, and who knows what else? Read on, and we’ll give you the details!
