Same here.
Also humble bundle has the following statement: "Factorio: Space Age is provided via Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. A free Steam account is required.". But I do not want steam version.

Simply download directly from the developer page

There does not appear to be a direct download for Space Age as there is for Factorio

The payment redirect to humblebundle by default.

I have a similar problem, I bought via the Factorio website, it gave me a humble key to upgrade my Factorio account, and then nothing, no sign of the DLC anywhere, no download option. I have the game upgraded 2.0.7.

I've email support for help but haven't heard back yet.

You should be able to enter the code here https://factorio.com/profile and then access it on https://factorio.com/download

In the hope this might help someone else.
I could finally buy the website key. The main issue was related to my email address (I use a self-hosted domain) that made humblebundle buy fail.
I tried later to buy using a gmail address and via paypal. This could finally work.

Yeah I entered the code already, is the download on that page different to upgrading the version I have already installed to 2.0.7?

The download has all the space-age content, updating just gets you the 2.0 base game

I would love to know the statistics of how many copies sold each of the first 24 hours following release!


And for anyone who is in to this sort of thing, a Mod Request: bring back the 1.1 Spidertron motion

Yes, me too. Alway intersting to get some insight.

The Steam DB charts show some great nubers.

And keep in mind that plenty of people are still working/asleep. So I think you can triple the number

I downloaded the game again from the download page and installed it, still don''t see any mention of the DLC.

If I go to the mods and search for 'space' I see mods that require it but they have a message next to a link saying 'space-age' saying

'This mod is required, but is not active'

So I don't think I have access to the DLC.

Looks like raising jolly roger is the only option for me to play SA today. It is disappointing.

You and me too...

If you are having trouble purchasing the game please get in touch with us at support@factorio.com, it is difficult to track individual cases on the forums.

Most likely you downloaded just the base game and not Space Age from the Website

The next step is determining the price for other regions. When you submit a game to Steam, Valve automatically suggests prices for local currencies in other regions. You have the option to change these numbers at will, but a suggestion is made. It's unclear how exactly these suggested prices are determined—likely a combination of current exchange rates, regional sales trends, and other factors. (Valve did not respond to our request for comment.)

Regional pricing... Seems like developers in general trust Valve's methods to maximaze profit. So, I express gratitude to Factorio developers, who agreed to Valve's suggestion and allowed me to buy a game for 12,5 $ instead of 35 $.

So if I don't see a link for the DLC download and I still see a button to buy the DLC, does that mean I don't have the DLC and somehow bought another copy of the base game?

me too. I could not figure out how to download space H from the Factorio site.
Please devs. let us now how do It

Congratulations and thank you.

Do I get it right, I can disable Space Age in Modes and play Factorio 2.0?
And I also can add or NOT add quality modules and elevated rails to Factorio 2.0 without Space Age?
But can't play Space Age without quality modules?

Yes that means that the account you're logged into factorio.com with doesn't own space age. Please message support@factorio.com if you bought the base game twice. After buying from the website you get a link to the humble website with a upgrade key which you need to enter on factorio.com/profile to upgrade your account with the space age ownership.

You can play Space Age without the quality modules if you never research the Quality technology. You can't launch space-age without the quality mod.

Congratulations on the launch. Will get myself into a little later. ^^

You could do that, but the temptation will be too high if you have the research sitting just there. Resistance is futile. :>
