Lightyear Frontierenables you to create your very own farm on a distant planet since Earth isn’t habitable anymore. With only your Mech and your wits, you’re set free into a sandbox-like environment where you can customize it to your heart’s content. While you’re mostly alone, there are a few other creatures around for you to interact with.

There are plenty of animals in the world for you to interact with, and while you may’t start ranching like in other farming games, you can still feed the animals and bond with them. Here’s everything you need to know to get started!

How To Make Fodder

Animals consume Fodder, and there areseveral different typesyou can make. Each animal in a given region will eat the same type of fodder, but thetype changes per region. For example, creatures in The Meadows will eat different fodder than those in Pine Heights.

To make Fodder, you’ll firstneed a Fodder Oven. This can be crafted with the following materials:

With the construct crafted, you can make Fodder. Below is a list of all the types of Fodder you can make:

How To Feed The Animals

Feeding the animals is easy! You merely need toapproach them and interact with themwhile having the required Fodder in your inventory. They’ll happily accept it, and you can watch them eat it.

Some animals may be scared away if you sprint towards them, so when in doubt, walk it out!

Feeding an animal willmark it as fullfor the day, so you may’t feed it again until the day resets.

Benefits Of Feeding The Animals

When you feed the wildlife in Lightyear Frontier,they drop rewards for you. This includes materials likeStone and Fiber. Additionally, feeding the animals enough that the nest is full reaps other rewards.

For each nest that is full thanks to your treats, you’llgain a resource boost. These boosts restore more resources in the designated Region (like The Meadows) for the next day. The boost canstack up to three times, so it’s worth feeding the wildlife if you’re looking togather specific resourcesin bulk.
