One of the earliest objectives that players encounter in Lightyear Frontier is to feed the animals. This kind of mission is handled differently than players would think, but here is the easiest way to feed the animals in Lightyear Frontier.

How To Feed the Animals in Lightyear Frontier

While it is possible to manually feed the animals in Lightyear Frontier by walking up to them with the right food, some may not stand still long enough as a giant mech hovers over them. The easier method is tofeed a Nest with Basic Fodder.

Each area on the map contains a few Nests, giant trees with many holes in them, spread out in the environment. Feeding these Nests with the right food willrestore resources in that area, though the effect will only last for a few in-game days.

Some areas require different food, such asNice Fodder or Sour Fodder. Players will also have to continually feed the Nests to harvest resources repeatedly.

All players need to do is have three Basic Fodder items in their inventory and hit the prompt at the Nest to feed it, completing the objective. The closest Nest is in the shadow of a rock mountain betweenPine Heights and The Meadows.
