They've been working pretty hard on the game and it's really annoying to see this multiplayer mode get misconstrude as a 'free-to-steal' mode. Especially when it was ANNOUNCED in their kick starter video that they would be releasing the multiplayer first while they work on the Single player.
Here's a link to the kickstarter announcement video where it was mentioned at 3:57:

The reaction to the multiplayer release has been bemusing to say the least. It was announced repeatedly that factions would be around to give backers and players a chance to play the game before the Single player and yet the devs have caught so much ire off backers for doing this.
The backer reaction has been akin to ordering a pizza with pepperoni on it at a restaurant and when said pizza arrives, as stipulated - with pepperoni. The Customer turns around and says "OMFG! Pepperoni what is this!? I didn't ask for this!!! Throw it aginst a wall somewhere I hate it! And you!"
Hell, Alex Thomas explained it better in this article with Gamasutra.[www.gamasutra.com]
In short, it's hard to keep your backers informed when they don't read/watch what you're telling them. It's lIke shouting into a well of ignorance - you just hear your own words thrown back at you, distorted and wrong.
I'm sorry, but i don't see the rationale for releasing this sub-par multiplayer game before the single player game other than to milk people for $, hence free-to-steal.
And as to researching, sorry if i was looking for something other than an expired kickstarter page. how about an official website that specifies that the single player game is still a thing. heck, the website seems designed exclusively for the multiplayer game.
what's more, the kickstarter page (i'm not a big fan of kickstarter) says that the single player game is their focus. taken all together, i think this is a load of bull and I am thoroughly disappointed with what they have done
Nothing wrong with thinking they need to be more clear about it either (though its fair to disagree with that as well).
All said and done though. You have now been informed that, yes there is a single player game in the works, as you had previously thought. And while perhaps they havn't spread the news enough beyond the kickstarter, in the end the backers are the only people that they actually need to keep informed. The rest is up to them.
So in regards to the statement in your original post. "Disappointed there's no single player mode in the works", you can now, no longer be.
we'll see
The main game will involve a lot of combat. Makes sense to me for them to hash out that system first, and Factions is an excellent way to crowdsource the testing as well as garner extra funding to put towards game development.
About Factions itself: To call factions a "game" is a misnomer of the highest order. It is not a game, but rather a tool to assist the developers in creating the combat component of the game they advertised and intend to offer later this year. It has also served as a tutorial for those of us who took the time to learn how to play. We saw the various character classes that were released go through various iterations to balance the combat, and had to learn new tactics to deal with the changes along the way. Yet the community stayed (largely) positive and mutually supportive. I do not understand why people think that the Factions development tool is sub-par. It works exactly as advertised, gave the devs information they needed about the design, and has been challenging to play well. As a development tool, it has to have far exceeded expectations.
The game isn't making money, because they didn't build in any incentive for players to actually spend their money:
Anyone who's actually played the game longer than half an hour will understand this article. Anyone who hasn't is welcme to their opinions, however ill-informed and ill-considered they are.
I'm sorry you can't understand this. I really am.
Being a fanboy, having put in 50+ hours into this game, I understand why you don't understand this. I'm sorry you don't. I really am.
I'm not even suggesting you play 50+ hours. Half of one would do.
Also, the "real game" is coming, exactly as promised. That's not made up. It's factual. There's actual gameplay footage on Stoic's YouTube channel. Acknowledging verifiable reality doesn't make me a fanboy. It makes me rational.
I honestly don't know why I'm even debating this with you, because you're either trolling me for kicks or you're too set in your unfounded opinions to even consider other arguments.
