The FICSIT Factory Cart™ (sometimes just Factory Cart or Golf Cart) is a vehicle used to transport pioneers within factories. Its special Grip Wheels ensure swift speedup and braking at the cost of insane drift on uneven surfaces (despite the description claiming "Foundation-only grip", the wheels work on all pioneer-built structures, such as buildings, Walkways, Conveyor Belts, Pipelines, etc.).
Factory Carts have a single inventory slot and are normally detected by Truck Stations. Despite not requiring fuel of any kind, Truck Stations will load fuel into the cart anyway. This does not provide any kind of bonus and the fuel slot cannot be accessed, and the cart will consume the fuel rapidly similar to a Cyber Wagon. To avoid the loading of fuel, it is recommend to not supply fuel to truck stations designed to operate on factory carts.
The Golden Factory Cart becomes available in the AWESOME Shop after sinking a "Employee of the Planet" Cup in the AWESOME Sink, which effectively requires the pioneer to have completed phase 5 of the Space Elevator. This is referenced in its description, "[...]Sinker of Cups, Employee of the Planet[...]"
Obtaining
Unlocking
An

Notes
- Riding in a Factory Cart is slightly faster than running with Blade Runners. (55 km/h vs 48 km/h)
- The Factory Cart has a shorter hit-box than a standing pioneer, making it somewhat useful for traversing in a congested area. (1.5 m high vs 1.8 m high)
- Although a vehicle health bar is displayed when riding the cart, it is impossible to damage the Factory Cart by any means.
- The Golden Cart's siren has a rainbow light instead of a red light, and plays disco music instead of an emergency siren.
Siren
While riding, clicking 
will enable the siren. It will display an animation in which the riding pioneer puts a siren onto the roof of the cart.
When getting out of the cart and getting back in, only the light will stay on (the siren won't be heard).
Trivia
- When riding, the upper part of the door will never be fully closed and will stay folded down, dangling outside.
- Pioneers in Factory Cart are immune to fall damage and Radiation damage but not poison damage.
- Truck Stations will load fuel into the cart, which depletes very quickly with no bonus. Its fuel slot cannot be accessed from its inventory.
- When the Factory Cart is tipped, exit the car and interact E with it to flip it back to an upright position.
- Even when driving the Factory Cart in a straight line, it tends to turn right after some distance.
- Driving backwards in the cart is actually highly stable on rough terrain, though it tops out at only 25 km/h, slower than running without Blade Runners (32 km/h).
- The title of the Factory Cart UI will sometimes appear as 'Puny Vroom'.
- Occasionally, when deploying the cart, ADA will say "More than meets the eye."
- It is called Golf Cart in the code (classname).[1]
- When the Factory Cart is held as hand equipment, it will make the same popping sounds as the Portable Miner.
- Even when the Cart is being assembled after being put down, you can ride it while it's being assembled. This will show the pioneer floating on nothing for a moment.
- Despite the fact it cannot be built with the Build Gun, the Factory Cart can be dismantled with the Build Gun.
- The Factory Cart was originally a quad bike.[2]
