Farm, build, and explore in a customizable mech! Craft new parts and mod chips to tweak your mech's performance to your specifications. Choose from an array of options to build your trusty all-purpose vehicle.

Settle on a verdant exoplanet in the Lightyear Frontier, a cluster of habitable worlds in the far reaches of the galaxy. Overcome its environmental challenges in order to thrive on your new home.

Take farming to a new level with the power of the mech. Use its mighty tools to plant, water, and harvest vast fields of alien crops with ease. Mastering crop rotation is key to optimize your yield!

Create the exofarm of your dreams! Make your mark on the world as you build your homestead piece by piece into a handcrafted retro-futuristic farm. Make your place your own with alternative color palettes and decorations.

Send resources to remote colonies, befriend interplanetary neighbors, and build a stable of alien livestock. Use the bounty of your harvest to benefit those around you and create a better tomorrow.

While your mech can handle anything the world throws at you, feel free to invite up to three friends to join you on this journey of settling and exploration! Pool your resources to create the perfect homestead, and share the rewarding feeling of a good harvest with your pals!
