About this guide

I edit this field guide for people who already know the name Lightyear Frontier and want a map, a crop table, or a straight answer about 1.0. FRAME BREAK makes the game. Coffee Stain publishes it. I do not speak for either of them, and I do not sell the game.

The early-access build opened on 19 March 2024. Version 1.0 shipped on 4 November 2026. I keep those dates in separate sentences because older articles still treat the early-access day as the full release. Existing owners move to 1.0 without a second purchase. That claim comes from the official 1.0 FAQ and the launch post, read together on 5 November 2026.

What I will and will not publish

Pages answer one search question each: where nickel sits, how automation pipes replaced the old automator, whether PlayStation 5 has a build, what the list price was. I do not host the game, crack files, trainers, or third-party language patches. Purchase links go to Steam and the Xbox store. A grey-market key shop is not a source I will link.

When two public pages disagree, I print both and name them. Honeybottle growth is one example: one wiki says four days and another says three, so the crop table keeps both figures. Empty cells mean I found no published number. I do not fill them with a guess.

How fresh the pages are

Each page shows a checked date. The first pass is 5 November 2026, the day after 1.0. Wiki pages that still say 0.8.2176 stay labeled as 0.8 data when the 1.0 notes do not repeat them. If a later patch changes a recipe, the page date moves with the edit.
