So i bought the game a long while ago from the steam store. I have been watching a streamer whos got me back into the game but he's playing with mods. So off I went to the mods tab in the game, and I am greeted with the login window. So I go ahead and login with my steam, doesn't work. I head to the website and made an account, head back to the game but I get the same error. "Insufficient membership. Login requires a membership which owns the game. Please buy the game on our website or via retailers (Steam, GOG).". This doesn't make any sense as I purchased the game off steam and wouldn't expect this problem. I would really like some help with this.
Thanks.

Yeah, I have linked my account, in the sense that the link steam icon just redirects me to my steam page.

If your account doesn't say that, then I suspect that you haven't managed to like your account successfully.Your account is linked with your steam account.

Re: HELP ME
Re-reading your first post, any chance that the you are using your steam username and password to attempt to log into factorio? I've never tried that, but I don't expect it to work, use your factorio.com account username and password (which is also separate from your forum account).

Re: HELP ME
Yea, I have tired my factorio and steam accounts and it still says "Insufficient membership. Login requires a membership which owns the game. Please buy the game on our website or via retailers (Steam, GOG).".
I DID buy this game on steam and I don't understand why this is happening.
