| “ | To achieve company milestones according to satisfaction we expect you to construct your FICSIT Inc. factory in such a way that it allows for easy expansion and complexion. Not only will buildings grow more complex over time, so will the parts they produce. Project Assembly isn’t your average high-school science project. We’re making history here! Go big or go home! Of course, this requires both high-level and low-level power management, good luck getting to nuclear! | „ |
| ~ Caterina Parks' assistant Steve |
Milestones are the primary method of progression in the game, allowing the pioneer to unlock new buildings, recipes, equipment, and more. They can be completed at the HUB Terminal by inputting the specified resources. To do so, move near the terminal (the PC-shaped booth inside the HUB), interact E with it, then Ctrl+
the required material in your inventory.
Sets of milestones are grouped into tiers. At the start of a new game session, only Tier 0 is available (unless Onboarding is skipped, which will skip Tier 0 as well). Completing Tier 0 unlocks Tiers 1 and 2, and completing phases of the Space Elevator unlocks higher tiers.
Parts inserted into the HUB Terminal cannot be taken back.
Tier 0: Onboarding
Tier 0 focuses on upgrading the HUB. Unlike milestones in later tiers, all the HUB upgrades must be completed in sequential order. Each milestone changes the HUB's appearance as well.
Before HUB Upgrade 1, only the following is available:
- Craft Bench recipes:
Iron Ingot, 
Iron Plate and 
Iron Rod - Equipment Workshop recipe:
Xeno-Zapper (appears in the Codex, but can't be crafted before the Equipment Workshop itself is unlocked in HUB Upgrade 1) - Buildings:
The HUB and 
Craft Bench - Resource Scanner:
Iron Ore
Several Onboarding steps have to be completed before the HUB can be constructed and its terminal accessed to begin completing milestones.
