Factorio Forums

Hi!
I want to buy the Game on the Purchase Page. But i want a Steam key for this.
Do i get them only if i buy it on Steam?

Thank you for your help and greets

go to your profile page https://www.factorio.com/profile to link to your steam account.
[edit]thanks for supporting the devs by buying through factorio.com.

If i click on this link i must log in.----->If i log in the password is wrong. If i want to register ( i dont know, maybe it is an other account then the forum account?) It says this account is already Registered.
Passwort Recovery ----> No User with this name is registered.

Maybe i must buy Factorio first?

No Problem, If possible i try to support Indie developers, they need the Money more than Valve.


can i collect Steam Achievements if i bind the Account this way?

greets

yes you need to register with factorio.com. don't think you have to buy first to sign up. just sign up.
probably have to buy before you link them though.

yes you get steam achievements when you link your steam id to your factorio ID.

If I recall correctly you buy the game on factorio.com, then you get a button on your profile page to get a Steam key via email. If you want to link you Steam account to your Factorio account you can do it afterwards, but this is not really required as you already can use the mod portal / multiplayer server because the devs already have proof-of-purchase (as you bought from them).

This only works when you run the Steam version of the game, you won't get Steam achievements while running the Website version.

Thanks to you both,
it works fine and with no problems
