Lightyear Frontier launched into early entry somewhat over a 12 months in the past, and it usually appears to have trudged alongside fairly effectively since then. It isn’t fairly prepared for 1.0 simply but, however a brand new replace was introduced by builders Frame Break and Amplifier Studios earlier this week that sounds prefer it’ll be bringing in some a lot wanted modifications.
Appropriately titled the Shifting Gears Replace, there’s two huge issues it is altering. For one, the world itself is about to get so much greater. The devs defined that whereas lots of people preferred the “lush nature of the sport world,” it was additionally only a bit too small. So, the map is rising in dimension for “large-scale farming”, with the primary development system receiving a rework for “larger emphasis on farming.”
Hazards like tornadoes have been added in too to make getting round this greater world a bit tougher (however it’s also possible to simply flip that off in case you’re simply in it to calm down).
Plus, as previously mentioned by the devs, the narrative is getting reworked, specifically largely chopping out the character PIP-3R as a continuing voice in your ear. Jay Castello known as this one fairly precisely of their early access review of the farming sim final 12 months.
The narrative is not going away fully, and PIP-3R could seem once more additional down the road. However for now the best way you may be taught concerning the story is thru Inspection Factors, that are simply bits of flavour textual content that seem in sure areas, and Artifacts Findings, that are additionally simply bits of flavour textual content from artifacts you discover.
On prime of all of that, there’s much more options coming like a brand new mod chip system to improve your mech, automated drone watering, and much more. You may try the complete checklist of additives over on Steam.
The Shifting Gears replace is not too distant both, because it’s at present due out June 4th, just below a few weeks away.
