Congratulations to Kovarex and the bride. I wish you to be overwhelmed with happiness.
And don't let the biters get you
.
And congratz to Factorio and its dev team too. There are zillions indie games developped by numerous small studios. Not so many get to the success state of Factorio, with the quality and polish Factorio already has. You definitely deserve props for that at Wube
.

Back in my day, we didn't have any newfangled Greenlight process, we had to wait for Valve to pick and choose...
Seriously though, seems like a good move by Valve. Factorio should be a good addition to Steam. Hearing "January" is a little disheartening, but, eh, whatever...hm, you know, you could do Early Access. In its current state the game is more complete than other Early Access titles I've played. Well, I'm sure you guys can figure out what's best for you.

My sincere congratulations of upgrading to the multiplayer version of Life. Be careful when running the de-stress test during the honymoon module, it has a byproduct that can be a real resource sink.

This turn of events is exactly what I expected, and am glad to finally witness. Without a doubt this has been the best thing I've ever crowdfunded

first congratulations Kovarex
second: concerning promotion of the game, there is the twitch channel rocketbeans, a pioneerproject of a bunch of german gamejournalism veterans where your game would likely fit in very well. You should totally contact them about presenting your game/granting them some freebies/goodies or even an interview, if you don't I know I will contact them

Come to think of it, what is the current plan for the very late game? Build space platform and a space ship to grab colonists or did something new came along?

Two points I'd like to make for the release and marketing:
1. If you're looking to do a big launch on Steam, consideration must be given to when the several Steam Sales are throughout the year. I'm not sure if launching during them, just before/after them, or as far from them as possible would be better for your goals; I just want to make sure you're taking them into consideration during your planning.
2. For marketing, I think Twitch would be a great avenue to get some exposure, especially around launch. There are people who work as community managers for large numbers of streamers that can make putting you in contact with the right streamers much easier. The one I hear about the most is @evl_bunny (Twitter) / evilbunny101 (Twitch).
And congrats, Kovarex!
