Hebiyoi Tier Builds a Home and Starts Shipping Crops in First Lightyear Frontier Stream

774INC — Hebiyoi Tier of 774inc spent about four and a half hours on Friday playing Lightyear Frontier, a game in which the player farms an alien planet from inside a mech. By the end she had built a house, laid out a crop plot and was sending harvests off to other colonies.

She opened by saying she was sore from dancing the day before and had taken motion-sickness medicine, then adjusted the audio and camera settings and started a single-player game. She said she had wanted to play it for a long time and compared its look and its opening tutorial to Satisfactory, a factory-building game she loves. After the game dropped her onto a planet in a crash landing, she found her mech and was quickly taken with it, spike punch included.

“It’s seriously fun. This is a game you could sink into forever.” — Hebiyoi Tier, closing the stream

The first hours were a scramble for materials. The farm center she wanted to build needed stone she had to carry on foot, since the stone in the mech did not count. Once her first wheat was ready, she fired it to another colony with a delivery cannon and got a pile of rewards back. Building the house by hand took longer: she fussed over lining up the pieces, joking that people with blood type A would collapse at the sight of a crooked wall, and ran out of wood and stone several times. The house was done about an hour and 17 minutes in. She said it looked like a genuinely normal house, then slept in a bed for the first time.

A larger crop shipment later in the stream raised her carrying capacity and unlocked new buildings, and her farm grew to hundreds of planted seeds. Mutant wheat turned up in the plot. Near the four-hour mark she bought a mech upgrade with an arm that carries bigger loads, plus a tractor-style transform mode she used to pave roads. Along the way she read in the game’s artifact entries about an ancient civilization that vanished some 3,000 years ago without a known cause, and said it was unsettling. She and chat also ran a long pun on the Japanese word for copper, *dō*, while she gathered ore.

She closed by saying she had made good progress and will play the game again Saturday starting at 1 p.m., about an hour later than Friday’s start. She also said she is planning another stream at 8 p.m. and noted that her fourth-anniversary solo concert is set for Dec. 18, with in-person tickets still available and a stream for those who can’t attend. Two Super Chats came in during the stream.
