Map and resource locations
Checked 2026-11-05 · Lightyear Frontier 1.0
Find resource regions and compare the old grassland, ridge, and valley with the two 1.0 additions. The table supports a text filter and keeps all locations readable without JavaScript. Select a linked resource for gathering and processing details. The Vault has only a title-level reference, so its exact location remains blank.
Version 1.0 added Sandswept and Hollow Marsh, expanding the world by roughly 40 percent according to the developer. Both open from the start of a 1.0 save and are tuned for late progression. Nickel, red crystal, yellow crystal, tin, and silver each have gathering details linked in the resource table. Chromaize belongs in the crop catalog.
Type part of a resource or region name into the filter to narrow the table. Clear the field to restore all rows. Each source status links the public material behind the entry.

Questions
Are empty cells zero?
No. A dash means the public pages I used did not give a value.
How do I open detailed information?
Select a linked item name for acquisition, uses, and version details. Other items remain readable in the table.
What does the source column mean?
The number of independent publishers linked for the row; multiple pages from one publisher count once.
