Lightyear Frontier is a gorgeous early-access release. It is a farming simulator at its core but instead of farming with machines like tractors, you farm with giant mechs. This all gives the game the War Robots or Titanfall vibes, while in reality, it is a humble and peaceful farm simulator. There are some issues with the game, given that it is in early access. Issues like the multiplayer not actually working or the game not saving progress are common issues that players are currently dealing with. Despite this, there is a growing and thriving community of players for this game. One key feature a lot of players were looking for and the developers did not let them down with is the world outside the mech. Yes, you can actually leave your mech and take a look around. But if you don’t know how, consider reading this guide.
While a lot of mech games may force you to stay inside and interact with the world only through the mech, Lightyear Frontier is not such a game. It understands that a farming simulator cannot be operated only from behind the joysticks of a gigantic machine. It must also be experienced with your boots on the ground. The developers have accounted for this. They have made it possible to leave the mech since a lot of players wanted to explore the game, both in the demo and post-release.
Lightyear Frontier: How to get out of the Mech?
Getting out of the Mech is actually an intended gameplay feature. Not only does it allow you to interact with your bed and get some sleep, but it also is required for crucial gameplay aspects. Things like customizing the mech and interacting with a few in-world objects can only be done on foot. So, the game gives you the option to step out and explore the world around you without a mech. This can be done with a very simple keypress on any input method.
How to get out?
Depending on your input method, you will need to hold down a different key. This key is either the bottom face key (X (green) on the Xbox controller and X (blue) on PS controllers) or the E key on the keyboard. This is, of course, the default configuration. If you have made changes to this, you will need to take a look at your settings for this keybind. This will allow you to both, board and deboard your mech. When inside, you will step out and if you want to enter, press the same button again.
These simple keybinds are all that are actually keeping you in your mech when you play the game. You are expected to go around on foot for some key activities. The most obvious of these is to build and to sleep. If you were unable to leave your mech, you would not be able to do either of these activities. A few complaints were raised about how superfluous the mechs are in this game but thus far, their implementation is a good idea. It makes this game stand out in the farming simulator market. This also means the developers can take it to new horizons in terms of story and features. With future updates, maybe we will see increased functionality of the mechs in this game. But we cannot say for sure.
Anyway, that is all we have on how to leave a mech in Lightyear Frontier. If you find this guide informative and want more such informative content, make sure to visit Android Gram daily.
