You can get your steam key if you bought the game on your profile on the website. Sadly us alpha testers don't get the key, but that's fine.

Wow, that's great! Thanks for the heads up.

I'm already picturing infinite threads on the Steam forums on "Why do teh aliens kepp killing meeeeeeeee" by people who don't realize about the Pollution mechanic..
I'm also wondering if there'll be any negative reviews. Factorio is one of the most polished alpha games I've ever played - I honestly don't remember any bugs, and I think the game only crashed once because I tried too hard to break the UI a year or so ago.

I am trying to understand why i cannot get the game on steam... i did buy the game a good time ago, hell i even sent him message about the pricing going out of whack since he was giving the average in US dollar and i use canadian dollars. And i do remember taking the transport belt tier... Gneh oh well... ill just take it from the website... Having it in the steam would be an ease for me tho.

Send them an email/forum message. Can't hurt.

I should really try to git gud at this game tbh

It's one of those games that are okay even if you are working suboptimally. Playing Factorio at a lan soon[tm]

want me to restart that server I had in occasion for the release?

[Aseaheru]

Anyone know if they will still be providing updates off of steam, or if people are going to be more-or-less forced to switch to steam?

[Aklyon]

Has anyone ever actually done that? It sounds dumb.

Also they seem to have the steam keys working for transport belt repairmen now, I'd gotten one yesterday.

Kerbal had a thing where if you got a steam key you lost your right to download from kerbalspaceprogram.com. Since then they only sell through steam.

[Karlito]

The concern is that people sell or give their steam keys to another party and then just continue to use the website. Factorio's website says explicitly "Your membership allows you to own the game both at our website as well as on the Steam platform." and asks us nicely to only use the steam key for ourselves.

I stopped following the game after multiplayer update. Did the improve the combat aspect of the game or it's still clunky as shit and boring?

there are spitting enemies which are boring and annoying and the mechanic is generally the same (you get instagibbed until you have the tank or an updated power armor and then you just club them) the tank is fun for 2 minutes then gets boring fast, but I'm generally ok with that because the game has a ton of new content for the logistic aspect and I'm happy with it being a factory challenge, not a rts.

there is a kinda rts mod however that includes you having an army and enemy being more and more aggressive around somewhere

As long as you manage your pollution, you can do just fine with just the first two combat bots and heavy armor, no power armor required.
In fact, I rarely transition to power armor, and prefer to spend the artifacts on research and L3 modules.

It's quiet amazing Factorio has gained a lot of attention since it's steam release and steadily increasing: http://steamcharts.com/app/427520

I remember trying it back when it was 1st posted about here and it's come on a long way.
