The mystical alien planet in Lightyear Frontier is full of exciting curiosities for you to discover, and among them are mysterious Forsaken Eggs that can actually be hatched into some adorable creatures. If you’re wondering where to find them, here’s our handy guide on how to get and hatch Abandoned Eggs in Lightyear Frontier.
How to find eggs in Lightyear Frontier
To find Abandoned Eggs in Lightyear Frontier, you must first know exactly where to look for them on the game’s vast and animated map, and what conditions must be met for them to spawn.
We have confirmed that some areas of the map will not have eggs at all, and they include the Meadows, Pine Heights, and Edge Cliffs. Meanwhile, any other area can contain eggs, but under one specific condition. At least one of those areas must be fully restored (ie – emptied of Weeds and Slimes). Once done, Abandoned Eggs can appear in random places in that area. Of course, the more areas you fully restore, the higher your chances of finding more eggs.
The eggs themselves contain various native species of creatures found on the planet. If you want to find an egg of a specific species, you have to look for it in the area where it usually lives. You can also carry multiple eggs at once without worrying about your inventory weight, as they only weigh 0.3/each.
Unfortunately, eggs are not viable to sell to Lola, as trying will bring you no profit.
How to hatch eggs in Lightyear Frontier
To be able to hatch any of the eggs you find, you must first meet Diane and set up an Outpost for her somewhere on your farm. As she states later in her introduction, Diane runs an animal sanctuary on her home planet, and she’s very interested in helping you hatch the eggs you’ve found and raise the creatures inside them as a new expansion to your farm.
After you’ve built her Outpost, interact with Diane to start her quest line. Along with building a fence (requires Hardwood) around her Outpost, she asks you to build an Incubation of Eggswhich she will provide the blueprint for free. Open your Construction Menu and find the Egg Incubator under the ‘Crafting Constructs’ tab.
To build an Egg Incubator you will need the following materials:
- 4 x Copper wire
- Crafted by Assembler with Copper Ore (found in Edge Cliffs area)
- 2 x Aluminum Electronics
- Made with an Assembler with Aluminum Rods (found in Pine Heights area) and Copper Wire
- 3 x Aluminum Frame
- Made by Assembling with Aluminum Rods (found in Pine Heights area)
When you’ve built your first Egg Incubator, you can put any eggs you’ve found in it. The egg will take 1 day to fully hatch. When it’s ready to hatch, the egg will glow brightly, and you can press the appropriate button to ‘Hatch Egg’.
A prompt will ask you to name your new creature (up to 20 characters) and then they will appear nearby and roam the perimeter of your farm until you set up a suitable enclosure.
The Egg Incubator also gives you the option to switch out its equipped Lenswhich can be used to provide different gains to the Incubation process and include:
- Blue Lens – 10% chance of two animals from one hatch
- Red Lens – 25% chance of a larger animal
- Clear Lens – 25% chance of a smaller animal
Remember that different colored lenses can be created with Furnace (to make the glass) and Assembler (to make the lens itself).
