Lightyear Frontier has eight regions: The Meadows, Pine Heights, Edge Cliffs, Stepstone Peak, Yellow Forest, Mountainside Coast, Lowland Plains, and Tornado Rock Isle. (The ninth location is on the western part of the map, but it’s currently unavailable and will be added via future updates.) This guide explains how to restore and unlock all eight locations to expand the game’s map.
Lightyear Frontier: Best Locations To Farm Coal
Coal is an important material for anyone who is playing Lightyear Frontier, and here are the best places to farm a ton of it.
Restoration Prerequisites
In order to clean and restore Lightyear Frontier regions, you must unlock the Irrigation Hose and Vacuum Harvester. These weapons become available once you start the game. All you need to do is visit drop zones in the Meadows marked by yellow smoke.
How to Unlock All Regions
To unlock all seven regions, you must clean Noxious Slimes and Noxious Weeds. Noxious Slimes are red spots on the ground that are cleansed with the Irrigation Hose. Noxious Weeds are leaf-looking debris that can be collected using the Vacuum Harvester.
How to Unlock Each Region:
- The Meadows: Unlocked from the start.
- Pine Heights: Cleanse Noxious Slimes with the Irrigation Hose.
- Edge Cliffs: Clean Noxious Weeds with the Vacuum Cleaner.
- Stepstone Peak: Cleanse big Noxious Slimes with the upgraded Irrigation Hose (Power 1).
- Yellow Forest: Collect big Noxious Weeds with the upgraded Vacuum Harvester (Power 1).
- Mountainside Coast: Get the Irrigation Hose Power 2.
- Lowland Plains: Get the Vacuum Harvester Power 2.
- Tornado Rock Isle: Unlock the Water Walking ability.
Tornado Rock Isle is the secret location situated in the northern part of the map. It does not require restoration efforts. However, you cannot access it until you have restored all six other locations and obtained the ability to walk on water, allowing you to reach this Isle.
