Lightyear Frontier Achievements Guide
The Steam version has 57 achievements, six of them hidden. Basic Agriculture is the easiest at about 88% global completion; Hero of the Frontier is the rarest at about 0.1%. The list below is the current Steam set, with completion rates from a 13 November 2026 snapshot.
Scope: The list and percentages come from the Steam community achievement page merged with the official Web API. Completion rates move over time. The 2024 “26 achievements / 1000G / 10–12 hours” figure describes the old Game Preview build, not this 57-achievement set. No official achievement-reset option was found.

How to read the list
The table is the complete Steam set as captured on 13 November 2026: 57 rows, six hidden achievements and a global completion percentage for each. Hidden achievements are marked “yes” but their names and descriptions are still shown because Steam exposes them in the achievement state. A low percentage can mean difficulty, a late-game requirement or simply a young 1.0 relaunch; it is not a difficulty rating.
Use the list to plan cleanup, not to judge a player. Many of the rarest achievements are long cumulative counters or late story milestones, and a 0.1% completion rate for the ending reflects how few players have finished, not whether the task is hard.
The six hidden achievements
The hidden set is Establish a Connection (build the Resource Delivery Cannon), What Lies Beneath (find all vault artifacts), Hey, Cut That Out! (scare away 10 animals), First Spill (spray 100 L with the Irrigation Hose), And I Would Plow Five Hundred More (plow 1,000 Mounds) and Hero of the Frontier (reach the end of the game).
Four are straightforward counters or base milestones; What Lies Beneath and Hero of the Frontier depend on the artifact and story paths. The artifact page needed for a complete vault route is not part of this batch, so the exact locations remain a separate task.
Long grinds: seeds, slime and weeds
The largest time sinks are the cumulative farming and cleanup achievements: plant 100/500/1,000 seeds, remove 10/50/150/300 Noxious Slimes and remove 100/300/700/1,000 Noxious Weeds. These progress naturally if you keep farming and clearing regions, but they are not quick one-session tasks. Track them alongside the region restoration loop rather than grinding them on a finished map.
The 1.0 Seed Stacking and Seed Minigun make the planting counters less tedious, but the numbers are unchanged. If you are targeting completion, plant a full field as part of normal production instead of planting and destroying seeds just for the counter.
Story, milestones and 1.0 additions
The story and milestone achievements run through Sent with Care (Milestone 1), Signed, Sealed, Delivered (Milestone 5), Express Shipping (Milestone 10), Master Deliverer (Milestone 14) and Hero of the Frontier (ending). The 1.0 additions include Skyblazer and high-altitude goals: Defying Gravity (use Skyblazer), Stratosphere Explorer (reach 900 m) and Seed for Speed (plant 3,000 seeds in 30 seconds).
The official FAQ confirms that 1.0 adds multiple achievements but does not publish a name list. The three flight/seed goals are present in the current Steam set and are consistent with 1.0 features, but they should be treated as part of the current list rather than an official “new in 1.0” roster.
Completion snapshot and reset notes
The percentages below are a snapshot, not a fixed difficulty table. Basic Agriculture is the easiest at 88.3%, and Hero of the Frontier is the rarest at 0.1%. The middle of the list is crowded with 5–30% achievements, which is normal for a game with a long farming loop and a recent 1.0 release.
No official achievement-reset option was found in the accessible sources. Achievements are tied to the platform account, not to deleting a farm save. If you want a fresh progression run, start a new save; do not expect the achievement list itself to reset. Platform-level achievement management is outside this guide.

Questions
Common questions
How many achievements are in Lightyear Frontier?
The Steam version has 57 achievements, including six hidden ones. The 2024 Game Preview build had 26, so old guides with that number are outdated.
What is the easiest achievement?
Basic Agriculture, for planting your first seed, had the highest global completion at about 88.3% on 13 November 2026.
What is the rarest achievement?
Hero of the Frontier, for reaching the end of the game, was at about 0.1% on the same snapshot. It is a late story goal, not a skill check.
Can I reset achievements?
No official achievement-reset option was found. Achievements are tied to the platform account; starting a new farm save does not reset them. Use platform account tools only if you understand their effect.
Did 1.0 add new achievements?
Yes, the official FAQ confirms multiple new achievements. It does not name them, so this page treats the current Steam set as the source rather than inventing a 1.0-only roster.
