Hi Pioneers!This December Holiday Content and Event were brought to you by the
FICSIT Inc. internal marketing department.
The in-game Event is available in both
Early Access &
Experimental versions of the game until
Jan 18th, 2021!
Any resemblance to external holidays, celebrations, events, traditions, historical or contemporary, and their products, is purely coincidental.[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h3]Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.7.0 – Build 138299[/h3]
The Conveyor Belt networking rework is now live on Early Access. But, as you probably have already noticed, that is not the only thing changing today. We added some seasonal event content for you to explore December through January!
While we could not push a big update before the end of this year, we still wanted to give you something new over the holidays. So, we spent a little bit of time on this FICSIT themed event. What exactly we have changed and added you will have to find for yourself over the course of December, but we really hope you all will enjoy it! And if you don’t, you can simply turn the event off in the gameplay options from the main menu.
There is some additional stuff in this patch as well that we added previously on Experimental, such as translation updates, some bug fixes and some optimizations. You can find all the details in the patch notes below.
Hope you all are having a great time and will enjoy the event Merry FICS*MAS!
