Chromaize

Checked 2026-11-05 · Lightyear Frontier 1.0

Chromaize is multicolored maize. Searches using chromize or chromaize often appear beside ore searches, but the item belongs in the crop chain. The older tables describe a nitrogenic crop with phosphoric high-yield soil and potassic mutation soil. A high-yield harvest and a mutated harvest are separate goals. Location descriptions also need their dates: the wiki lists Hexagon Valley, while Country Roads added wild plants on Outset Grasslands hilltops. These descriptions can coexist as different gathering routes rather than being forced into one exclusive region. Chromaize Oil is a processed ingredient, including in older crystal crafting, so collecting the crop is only the first stage of that material chain.
