Here are the Nest locations for the first five biomes in Lightyear Frontier
Looking for Nest locations in Lightyear Frontier?Nests inLightyear Frontierare hives in which the animals of the alien world live. Feeding Nests is a great way to replenish the natural resources of each biome, which usually houses around three Nests each.
Below, we’ll list the Nest locations for the first five biomes, go through the steps to make Fodder and the rewards for feeding the animal populace in Lightyear Frontier.

All Nest Locations in Lightyear Frontier
During our Lightyear Frontier playthrough, we’ve managed to find all Nest locations for the first five starting regions: The Meadows, Pine Heights, Edge Cliffs, Yellow Forest and Stepstone Peak. We’ve gathered these locations into one image below and also provided a thorough breakdown of how to find each of the Nests in each region.
You can farm more effectively if you prioritise feeding Nests first, as this willreplenishthe surrounding land ofresourcesthe next in-game day.
The Meadows is the first biome you’ll explore in Lightyear Frontier. The main resource you’ll need to collect in The Meadows isAluminium, which is used for some of the first major Mech Suit upgrades.
The image below shows the map locations of all Nests in The Meadows biome. Plus an additional rundown of how to get to each Nest location:
You’ll likely unlock Pine Heights first as it doesn’t require any special Mech upgrades to access. To clear the map, you must use your Irrigation Hose to clear away all the Noxious Slime. Once done, wait an in-game day and you’ll then be able to feed the local Nests.
These Nest locations are shown in the below map image. When fed, you can take advantage of theRabbageandRed Crystalsthat grow in the region.
Edge Cliffs is another biome you can unlock early on and is rich withCopper OreandCaroots. To unveil this section of the map, you need to clear away Noxious Weeds by hoovering them up with your Vacuum Harvester. See the image below for all Nest locations in Edge Cliffs.
It may take you some time to unlock the Yellow Forest as you will need to get the first Irrigation Hose upgradeandthe first Vacuum upgrade to clear the Noxious Weeds and Slime of the region. It is worth doing, however, as this region spawnsIron Ore,Blue CrystalandZappertwigs, all of which are used in electronic constructions.
Below is a map of all Nest locations within the Yellow Forest.
To clear Stepstone Peak, you’ll first need the Irrigation Hose Power I upgrade and Vacuum Harvester Power I upgrade. This area spawnsIron OreandChromaize, needed for various advanced upgrades. Below are all the Nest locations for the area.
Nests serve as the central hive for animals in Lightyear Frontier. When you feed a Nest with Fodder, the next in-game day willreplenish resourcesin the area. This means if you’re farming for crafting materials it is wise to feed Nests first, to increase your maximum yield.
There are three ‘Resource Boost’ levels to reach (one per Nest). Each level increases the resources of the region. This not only replenishes natural resources like ore nodes, but also increases your chance of finding sellable items like fossils, eggs and flowers.
There are usually aroundthree Nests per map areaand each will take three lots of Fodder to fill. There are also several types of Fodder in Lightyear Frontier and each biome may require a different type (more on this below).
If you struggle to find the Nest in your area, you can feed animals directly and this will add to your tally. Doing this essentially shortcuts the process, without the need to track animals down individually. It is worth noting that feeding animals directly will sometimes cause them todrop extra resources.
You’ll know a Nest is fed completely when animals nearby have a sparkle and love heart above their heads. Resource Boosts do not carry over across multiple days; you’ll need to repeat the process if the land has been depleted. Otherwise, it will take a few in-game days for the land to recover.
There are several different types of Fodder in Lightyear Frontier. Different creatures in opposing biomes will prefer different Fodder, so you’ll need to know which to have on hand when exploring.
Below, we’ve listed all the types of Fodder we’ve encountered in the game so far, along with how to make each type and which biomes require them.
The rounds off our guide to Nest locations and how to make Fodder in Lightyear Frontier. Now, you should be able to maximise your farming for crafting materials and optimise production at your base.
