Lightyear Frontier “Animals & Neighbours” update released

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent tending to digital farms and nurturing virtual pets, I can confidently say that the “Animals & Neighbours” update for Lightyear Frontier has catapulted this game into the stratosphere of my favorite intergalactic farming simulators. The addition of neighbors Ulf and Diane, each with their unique stories and quests, is a breath of fresh air in the monotony of space solitude.


The much anticipated “Animals & Neighbors” update for Lightyear Frontier, as announced by Frame Break, is now at your fingertips!

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed this latest update is nothing short of monumental. Even though we’re still in the early stages of the game, the developers have packed it with an abundance of fresh content and engaging activities that are keeping me hooked!

First up, is the new Neighbour system:

  • You can now invite your intergalactic neighbours, Ulf and Diane, to your planet by building the Lunar Lander Construct!
  • Each neighbour has their own story and quests to complete and unique mechanics you’ll discover by interacting with them.
  • Grow rare and valuable crops by splicing together multiple seeds into mutated super seeds. Harvest these mutated crops to unlock new decorations or sell them for a hefty penny.
  • Diane will teach you everything you need to know about taking care of animals on your farm. Build them a cozy pen, keep them well-fed and hydrated, and don’t forget to give them plenty of pets!
  • Help your neighbours get settled in by completing tasks, and even build them a cozy homestead to continue their research on your beautiful planet.

There are also now two new animals: the Crystalhoof, and Mox.

  • Happy, well-cared-for animals will drop special resources that unlock new crafting recipes.

Additionally, here are 19 new accomplishments, an enhanced Lawnmower feature (located in the mechanical upgrades store), fresh crafting methods, and a revamped grass rendering technique. The developers claim this update provides a “more seamless and vivid Frontier Farming experience.
