How co-op works
Up to four online players pilot separate mechs in one open-world homestead. They pool resources and divide large-scale farming, construction, crafting, deliveries, exploration, and environmental restoration, with shared work expanding the farm and upgrading their machines faster.
About this game
Lightyear Frontier lets you pilot a peaceful mech across a vibrant alien planet, planting crops, gathering resources, and building a thriving homestead from scratch. This is true cooperative farming, where up to four players work side by side to tame the wilderness, explore biomes, and deliver produce to scattered outposts without the pressure of combat or survival timers.

The core loop centers on mech customization, resource management, and automation. You'll clear land, plant seeds, upgrade tools, craft improvements, and expand your base at your own pace. Playing with friends means splitting tasks, sharing discoveries, and pooling materials to unlock upgrades faster, turning sprawling farmland into a collaborative project.
Online co-op supports cross-platform multiplayer, so friends on different storefronts can join the same session. Sessions are open-ended and relaxed, ideal for groups that enjoy steady progress, light coordination, and the satisfaction of watching a shared frontier flourish together.
