Trivia

• Pioneer automatically sits down when player disconnects. (Either in multiplayer mode, or single player, but was previously disconnected improperly).
• All the player controlled FICSIT pioneers are women.
• The pioneer's e-mail address and presumably the employee number can be seen in the Codex: "employee.05192.83.3845.710.8.192b@ficsit.biz". In a multiplayer game, the email doesn't change.
• The pioneer will never become hungry as there is no hunger system in the game, food is instead used to regain health.
• There is currently no character customization, however, while not confirmed or entirely ruled out there will likely be some form of basic customization in the future, such as jumpsuit color selection.
• It is possible that the pioneer's name is either Becky or Monica.
• It is equally likely the pioneer's name or nickname is Bry based on the coffee cups that can be found in the HUB and Space Elevator. (although this has not been confirmed).
• In order to work at FICSIT Inc you must prove your dedication to the job. So all Pioneers have to legally change their name to "Pioneer".
• When running ⇧ Shift, the normal running animation will sometimes be replaced with Naruto Run, which is only visible to other players.
• The warning shown after receiving damage reads "DAMAGE TO FICSIT PROPERTY DETECTED" when above 3 health segments, or "IMMINENT DESTRUCTION OF FICSIT PROPERTY DETECTED" when below.
• The Pioneer's age is not yet known.
• On April 1, 2021, the April Fools Special Event was introduced. This event was repeated on April 1, 2022 and April 1, 2023. During all three events, the Pioneer's Head / Helmet appeared larger.
• The 'Clap' emote can be used to toggle the nearby Lights on and off.
