Lightyear Frontier: How to Used Resource Vacuum Harvest Vortex Mod?
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Right-click to activate the Resource Vacuum Harvest Vortex Mod; on Steam Deck, press and hold the left bumper instead and give it time to harvest.
What you need to know
The Harvest Vortex Mod attaches to your Resource Vacuum to help harvest plants without needing the Spike Saw. While this feature is handy, activation can be tricky depending on which platform you use to play the game. Keep in mind that a confirmed fix for control issues is not yet officially established, but community workarounds can help you get it running.
Step by step
- Attach the Resource Vacuum Harvest Vortex Mod to your Resource Vacuum Mk.1.
- If you are playing on a standard setup, try right-clicking your mouse to activate the mod's harvesting function.
- If you are playing on a Steam Deck, press and hold the left bumper instead of the right bumper to trigger the suction.
- Wait patiently while the tool works, as harvesting with this method takes a little bit of time.
Tips
- Give the tool a few moments to work, as the vacuum does not pull in plants instantly.
- Remember that the Spike Saw may still harvest faster than the mod until you unlock additional speed boosts.
What players reported
How to used Resource Vacuum Harvest Vortex Mod? Is it used to suck up plants without the Spike Saw? I attached it to Resource Vaccum Mk.1 but it can't suck up plants as described
What players suggest
That’s not possible on steam deck? I tried the left bumper instead of the right and it doesn’t work. Edit: never mind. It does work with the left bumper, but it takes time. Spike saw is still faster until you get the speed boosts.
Did this work for you?
