Factorio Forums

Hello!

I would like to purchase one additional key for Factorio v1.1 (adding to the one I purchased here a few years ago) and then purchase a separate key for Factorio v2. Can that be done here? The goal is to have two active and valid keys for v1.1 and a single active and valid key for v2.

Thank you!

The v2.0 is the free update of 1.1, so it's basically the same key. You can't buy the 1.1 without getting access to the 2.0 (but you can download older versions of the base game, which the 1.1 has become now).

Then you have the Space Age expansion, which you have to buy separately if you want it, and brings the real new content like the additional planets, elevated rails, quality, ...

Well that failed!

I was able to obtain a new "Factorio" key from HumbleBundle without issue. However, a few minutes later, I tried to purchase the "Space Age" key and it failed four times with four separate credit cards. I was going to seek support - which is apparently only be e-mail - but they are showing 10+ days to answer. I have to wait 10 days to buy Space Age?

Thankfully, the website was able to provide an answer to the question, "what does it mean when an order is cancelled?"

Answer: trying to purchase two keys within a few minutes of each other constitutes an 'aggressive need for anti-fraud enforcement' by HumbleBumble, because no sane human would want to purchase two games at once, so they must be doing something illegal. And apparently, the AI is not smart enough to think that a person might want to buy both games at the same time, because nobody ever does that, right? Where was Big Brother last week when I purchased the first four installments of Europa Universalis on the same invoice - I should probably be retroactively drawn and quartered!

If HumbleBumble is there to promote you, they need to work on their common sense skills. (And yes, I understand what key fraud is and how it works, but come on, two keys and we throw up the firewalls?)

Well I got my key...finally. I had to ditch the credit card and use PayPal. And then I realized why: Humble Bundle uses Stripe as their card processor.

Do yourself a favor: use PayPal.
