As an Early Access title, Lightyear Frontier has a solid foundation. The core gameplay loop revolves around resource management and restoration. Your arrival on the planet has caused a strange, corrosive "Pest" to spread, and your farming efforts directly combat this corruption. By clearing debris, planting crops, and building outposts, you literally heal the landscape, unlocking new areas and resources. It’s a brilliant twist on the genre: your greed (expanding your farm) is inherently good for the environment.
