Khm, resource is called Catalyst. Grey Goo is name of the game, while Goo is name of one of the factions.

I played through it. It was fairly interesting, but the campaign was too short. It's basically just an intro to multiplayer, like C&C Generals. As for multiplayer: It's got potential, as it's got rather original factions, but right now the Beta feel a bit over the top.
At any rate, it's overall a good game, but unless you intend to play multiplayer, I'd probably wait for a price drop.

I would not recommend it for 50$ unless money means little to you. It is a good game but not worth what they are asking for it.
I pirated it and played the campaign and plan to buy it on future Steam sale so I can play the MP. MP seems interesting but since they skipped beta stage before release it has problems that are normally fixed in that stage.
But devs are working on them. By next Steam sale those should be all fixed.

Ted Morris the Executive Producer of Petroglyph did a new Post-mortem article.

I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to create in conjunction with our stellar partners at Grey Box, Axis Animation, and Weta. It was a bold move to build a classic, yet also evolved RTS game when the market has been shifting so heavily to the MOBA and F2P titles.
We’re excited for the future of Grey Goo as we continue to improve on the core game and release new features and improvements to the fans over the coming months.

Considering this game has such a crazy loss of players in very short time they can talk all the want but they need to do some drastic stuff to fix it

There was cool things I didn't know about their fuck ups. It is even worse then I thought LOL.
And the thing about pirated copies causing crashes lol.
I just lost last bits of faith I had in this game after reading this article. Oh well, Act of Aggression and LotV beta before that.

Seems you will be able to buy a boxed edition now thanks to a publisher called UIG Entertainment. Here are the details from the press release.
UIG Entertainment signs distribution agreement for Grey Goo
Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn, April 1st 2015; UIG Entertainment signs Grey Goo for retail distribution in France, Italy, Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland), UK, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Slovenia USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
The highly rated strategy hit (metacritic score 78 %) takes you in old school RTS manner to fight for survival on a planetary oasis by commanding one of three factions: the defense-oriented Humans, the versatile Beta, or the all consuming Goo. Construct impenetrable walls, dominate from strategic outposts—or become the Goo and overrun your enemies.
Grey Goo will be released in retail stores in April 2015 for 39,99 €.
About Grey Goo:
Centuries after Humanity first left Earth, all forms of life in the Milky Way have evolved toward an inward tranquility. But there has been a mutation. A mysterious organism barrels toward the surface of a lone, resource-rich planet known as Ecosystem 9, on a mission to consume all it encounters.
Grey Goo is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that combines classic strategy mechanics and a balanced combat system with an emphasis on large-scale decision-making. It puts you at the center of a tactical struggle for survival—and ultimately, control of Ecosystem 9.
Command one of three unique factions: the Humans, masters of defensive architecture; the Beta, a proud, versatile alien race; or the Goo, an enigmatic, highly mobile life form. Fight from behind massive walls, attack from strategic outposts, or swallow your enemies whole. Just remember, the choices you make on the battlefield will mean the difference between glorious victory and agonizing defeat.
Features
- Find the faction that fits your play style—and master it by taking on the AI or the Grey Goo community.
- Experience the conflict on Ecosystem 9 up close and personal in the single-player campaign.
- Join the fray on Steam and find opponents through skill-based matchmaking.
- Change the rules of the battlefield with unit-altering tech upgrades.
- Deliver devastating blows by constructing game-ending Epic units.
- Take the battle offline via Local Area Network play.
- Create your own battlefields with the Grey Goo map editor and share them with the community via Steam Workshop.

Grey Box & Petroglyph released a new DLC campaign , and its free for a limited time.
Additional Major Content Update Evolves the Real-Time Strategy Game with New Multiplayer Features
HOUSTON – June 9, 2015 – Grey Goo™, the critically praised real-time strategy game published by Grey Box and developed by award-winning independent studio Petroglyph, expands today with the arrival of new single-player DLC and a free update that adds a number of improvements to multiplayer.
Grey Goo’s new DLC, titled “Emergence,” contains three new story missions that take place during the game’s single-player campaign. “Emergence” is now available on PC through Steam for $7.99, but it is free to download for anyone who owns Grey Goo until Thursday, June 11 at 11:00am CDT.
In addition, Grey Box and Petroglyph have updated Grey Goo with a host of new enhancements, free for all users. The full list of features added today includes: an observer mode for spectating matches; a replay mode for watching and sharing previously played matches; dedicated server support for multiplayer; and the ability to import custom assets into the game’s terrain editor.
Set in a fully realized sci-fi universe created in partnership with acclaimed design studio Weta Workshop, Grey Goo is a modern RTS experience inspired by the classic strategic base-building and unit management gameplay of the genre’s origins.

It also features up-to-four-player local (LAN) and online multiplayer, as well as a robust terrain editor.

$49.99 is way too much for this game. I tried a few levels and it's not bad, but the single-player campaign is quite short, and the game doesn't seem to have much of a multi-player community.
