FNIX? I keep seeing this, what does it mean?

There are 4 tiers of machines, ranked from easiest to hardest as following:
1 - Prototype class: Orange color.
2 - Military class: Painted in woodland camouflage.
3 - FNIX class: Painted black with red wires and cables.
4 - Apocalypse class: Blue/green color with bright green toxic gas tanks on them.
All of them are easy to identify once you encounter them.

You'll learn the meaning of "FNIX" in "Behind the Curtain" main mission (it's the last vanilla mission). But if you want spoilers and to know right now, click here.
FNIX = FOA’s UNIX system.

Going off-topic here, but it’s FYI, @FilthyLittleGodPS4
Prototype class are mostly found on the Archipelago region and in the Farmlands.
Military class mainly occupy the Forest and the Mountains region, but are also seen in the Farmlands and on the South Coast, and occasionally in the Archipelago and Marshlands (NW corner.)
FNIX class mainly occupy the North Coast, but also South Coast and Marshlands. However, they can occasionally be seen in all regions except for the Archipelago.
Apocalypse class machines are concentrated around the eastern island of Himfjäll, from the Alpine Unrest DLC. But, they do occasionally appear in small groups on the main island of Östertörn, so beware!
Which of the machine classes have you encountered yet?

Definitely orange ones, lots.
Dark green or black shotgun dogs.
Hunters with poison gas and / or fire?
Forest camo ones too I feel like.
