3 days left and so amazingly close.
Currently is at 16,959€ including my contribution I was able to make today from surprise extra stuffs.

[tryrar]

I would say it'll probably be funded then unless NOBODY donates the last 3 days(unlikely)

[Niveras]

Go and advertise it then! 
I need a multiplayer version of this 

I wonder what a multiplayer version of this would be like.

I'm thinking production lines feeding factories creating armies which you then direct toward enemy camp(s). Sort of a cross between Anno's production chains, LoL/DOTA/HON moba-style auto-RTS elements, and Supreme Commander's tech levels and overall user interface (for building and stuff, the actual control of fabricated units is very hands-off). Maybe some tower defense elements too.

You'd probably remove the technology for towers, otherwise players will rush over and murder each other while the others tech turrets.

Congratulations!
Great to hear that this game has gotten the funding it needs!

Nope. You'd just have to develop tower countermeasures. Classic arms race, with everything being as ridiculously over the top as possible without nuking the map with a single shot (not until you're at least ten hours in)

And then the other guy techspams drills and gets magma out of the mantle. It begins. IT BEGINS.

I think the point was that one player could just run over and shoot the enemies while they're busy trying to get turrets.

This.

I remember supreme commander. They had balance well tuned (well.. I say well tuned. It was passable) but then people would just fly their commander over to the other guy's base and shoot him in the face while he was busy building basic infrastructure.

I did that a lot. It is pretty easy to defend against though and once you spend your tech to do it you cannot get it back. If your ACU rush fails it leaves your economy pretty weak.

Oh certainly, it wasn't foolproof. It can however be devastating if the other person isn't paying attention or simply didn't expect it.

Sounds like 6-pooling in Starcraft. Not being prepared to a common build is usually your own fault though.

[Graknorke]

This would be more than a RTS build though.
They would be running up to you and shooting you with a gun. Since they instigate, they'd shoot first and so leave you dead.

I don't see how this is different from flying your commander over and shooting a guy's commander in an RTS

In an RTS you can start building units right off, which can help you defend yourself.
In Factorio you have to build a bunch of machinery to actually get to be able to build the turrets.

[The Scout]

He runs up, holding down the mouse. He gets the first shots off meaning if you just sit there and fire he'll win. You also can't run away from him. So dead.
