gaining the res necessary for the nanite factory is not the problem. i started building it precisely one week after i started the game. just send fleets of recyclers into the nebula as much as possible (have combustion drive researched to at least level 10 and astrophysics to 6 or 9). a good tip is to take your espionage tech to above level 10, since this will allow you to conduct around 120 exploration missions daily. then it's all a matter of building recyclers. I have demoted all of my mines and storage facilities, since i cannot spend the neb res quickly enough. if you have dark matter, hold on to it to accelerate the building of the nanite factory.

incidentally, does anyone know how the nanite factory works at higher upgrade levels?
