Could I get an answer on this?

I bought this game way back, before you guys had a release on steam. I went all in and supported the game with the then maximum amount, which assured me that I'd be getting plenty of goodies, including my name in the game.

I check my account on your guy's website, it says my membership is "Membership: Mining Drill Operator", and now if you wanted to buy the game, you only have access to "Transport Belt Repair Man"

So, my question is as follows:

1: Will I still be gaining the goodies I paid for way back then? Such as having my name displayed in the game.

Cheers.

your name is still in the list, for the rest the tiers have been merged when factorio came to steam.

the list of people who paid for the highest tier when it still was available, and the list of names that gets used for trains, trainstops, roboports, refineries, radars and labs.

Sigh...I don't see my name. I tried Ctl+F searching for it, too.
