If you purchased the game YOURSELF in Steam, write an email describing the issue and including:
  • your steam ID64
  • the purchase confirmation email from steam
  • your factorio.com account name
to support@factorio.com

If you did NOT purchase the game yourself and instead got it gifted to you or bought a key, contact who ever provided you with the gift/key.
