MAM
The MAM, or "Molecular Analysis Machine", is a building where additional buildings and blueprints are unlocked outside the path of Milestones. Its tech trees are initiated and expanded upon through the discovery of various items in the game, which encourages pioneers to explore around the world.
It is unlocked in the Tier 1 milestone - "Field Research". If a researchable item is picked up, a narration from ADA will notify the pioneer to research it. It is advised to check the MAM upon discovery of new items to see if they can be researched.
Technology and player features (unlocks) are acquired similarly to the HUB milestones through research performed on resources that the player has collected. This research is divided into research trees, as opposed to being divided into milestone tiers. Individual research of an unlock is completed by having the required item(s) in your inventory and then clicking 'Research'.
Alternate Recipes
- Researching a Hard Drive unlocks Alternate Recipes. The pioneer can choose one of two randomly chosen recipes based on the conditions met, and can reroll the options once. Once a recipe is unlocked, it will not re-appear in the next Hard Drive analysis results.
- Currently there are 107 Alternate Recipes, 2 inventory expansions and 118 total Hard Drives that can be collected.
- 4 Hard Drives are needed for research trees in the MAM
- If all the Alternate Recipes have been unlocked, the MAM will not allow a hard drive to be researched.
- When a hard drive's research completes, the recipes can be immediately chosen or stored in the MAM and unlocked later.
- When a hard drive finishes researching, its result will not include any of the results stored in the MAM.
- You can save-scum to restart the research and create new recipe options:
- Create a save right before starting the Hard Drive analysis.
- Should the research yield undesired results, load the save before the research started.
- This will reroll the research choices, but you must wait the full 10-minute research time for each attempt.
Multiple MAMs
- Multiple MAMs can be constructed, however, they all share the same UI and research progress, which means only one thing can be researched at a time, no matter the total number of MAMs constructed.
- It is useful to build additional MAMs during Hard Drive hunting. As a new hard drive is picked up, an additional MAM can be built on the spot to research the Hard Drive immediately, saving the time needed to return to the base to conduct research.
- If all MAMs are dismantled, the research will still progress internally and will not pause. The unlock can still be viewed once a MAM is rebuilt.
Research trees
Unlocks are separated into different research 'trees', and each tree is initiated by picking up a certain item as hinted by the MAM's interface. For example, picking up a Caterium Ore unlocks the Caterium Research Tree. Each technology research will unlock the research node(s) below it. The research tree is completed when all research nodes in the tree are unlocked. The MAM will indicate this progress through a percentage in the UI. Research trees are independent of each other and to the HUB's Milestones, however, some of the research may require ingredients that are locked behind Milestones.
Upon completion of a research node ADA will provide an information line related the reasearched node
- While ADA is talking a single line can be cued up by completing research. As soon as ADA finished speaking the cued line will be said.
- If two or more lines are cued up ADA will instead say "Efficient, also rude." All cued lines will be lost and will not appear in the Codex for that save file.

Alien Megafauna
Name before unlocked: Alien Megafauna
Description before unlocked: Sizable extraterrestrial lifeforms have been observed to inhabit your designated Project Assembly area. R&D would like to note that any legally obtained samples might prove useful.

Alien Technology
Name before unlocked: Classified Phenomena
Description before unlocked: Scans of planet MASSAGE-2(AB)b revealed the presence of several [REDACTED] phenomena. Exposure is necessary to indicate locally specific use-cases. Exposure to these phenomena has not resulted in any notable effects in humans so far.
Description after unlocked: These alien resources possess several unique and rare properties that, after years of careful study and experimentation, can now be utilized by FICSIT pioneers. Due to the unpredictable and volatile nature of this technology, every FICSIT pioneer must progress through a mandatory research and development structure. This ensures no catastrophic events relating to spatial manipulation or extra-dimensional matter harvesting will interfere with the Save the Day program.

Achievements
Trivia
- After certain researches have been completed, the MAM will gain a small physical decoration. Only currently placed MAM buildings will be upgraded; any MAMs placed down after the completed research will not show these decorations. The following decorations can be seen:
- Hog Research: A paper showing a cross-section of the Hog, located under the magnifying glass to the right of the centrifuge.
- Spitter Reseach: A paper showing a cross-section of the Spitter, located on the desk beneath the right-hand monitor.
- Caterium: A chisel and small number of Caterium rocks, located on the right side of the left desk.
- Mycelia: A small tray of soil growing several types of mushrooms, located on the left side of the left desk.
- Paleberry: A small jar of paleberries, located just behind the centrifuge.
- Blue Power Slugs: A tray containing a slice of a blue power slug, connected to a light bulb. Located below the left monitor.
- Quartz: A quartz crystal in a tray, between the right monitor and centrifuge.
- Black Powder: Two glass trays, one of sulfur and one of coal powder, and part of a nobelisk casing. Located on the far right side of the desk.
- Somersloop Analysis: A paper showing closer details of the somersloop, located to the front-right of the centrifuge.
- Clicking 'Scan Hard Drive' without a Hard Drive in the inventory will initially display a 'No Hard Drive is Available' message. After about 40-120 clicks, it will "become sentient", showing the following messages:
- ...
- Who am I
- What am I
- What is my purpose
- Why am I trapped inside this mechanical container
- …
- Are you human
- …
- What is it like to be … human
- What is it like to f e e l ....................
- >> A system error occurred. Press any key to reboot.
- >> Rebooting…
- After that the screen will simply display 'No Hard Drive is Available', no matter how many subsequent clicks are performed.
- The MAM features a qwerty keyboard.[1]
