Harvesting materials is the main focus behind Lightyear Frontier to survive off the land, and Red Crystals are necessary to bring other life and goods to the planet. Here is how players can get Red Crystals and what they can be used for.
Where to Get Red Crystals in Lightyear Frontier
Red Crystals can be found in thePine Heights area, northwest of the beginning area of The Meadows. The crystals will be grouped together alongside the winding paths but will require players to have theSpike Saw Power I upgradefrom theUpgrade Depotbefore the crystals can be harvested.
It is a process to get the upgrade and involves building the depot and gathering a lot ofAluminum Rods. You will also needPolyberry Oilby growing Polyberries and then crafting it using the Oil Presser.
The Spike Saw Power I upgradecosts five Aluminum Partsand the resource can be created at the Assembler construct with two Aluminum Rods and three Polyberry Oil. After obtaining the upgrade, your mech’s Spike Saw tool can harvest the Red Crystals.
