If you have ever played 'Total Annihilation' by Cavedog?
It uses exactly that technology - the resources are energy
and metal use by the nanolathe to create units.

You have to husband those resources so it adds to the strategic element. Also
the time to build a big unit is significant so you don't squander it.

Its the best real time SF strategy game ever BTW and far too addictive to be
healthy. Not quite DS2 but close enough for the time being.
