Hello,

so the functionality to claim Steam Keys has just been deployed to the website. If you have a paid membership (Transport Belt Repair Man or higher) then you can claim a Steam key on your profile page[www.factorio.com]. There is a section dedicated to Steam

Simply clicking the button will generate a Steam key for you. You can then copy paste the generated key and use it via the Steam app to activate the game. The game will be released on Thursday 25th Feb 2016 at 11:00 a.m. PST. Only after this date will it actually be possible to get the game via Steam. We thought it would be possible to write reviews already, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case=( The amount of keys is limited for now to 20000. In case these run out or are close to running out we will request a new batch from Steam. So Enjoy!

The CM of Factorio (Klonan) already wrote an email to Steam about the issue:

If I buy the game now through the website, will I receive a Steam key?

Yes, you will. As soon you can download it from the website (usually immediately after paying) you can also generate a Steam key.

Yes. And you still save a tiny amount of money.

After the Steam release the price on the website and here will be equal (since games which are sold on Steam mustn't be less expensive elsewhere).

Edit: can't install thru steam yet but still excited

That's because it's still in the prerelease state, and the subscription package you activated doesn't have any release state override set (but those subscriptions with it set are usually reserved to beta testers or press).

First batch of 20,000 Steam keys now on official site.

Title.

I thought those like myself who will be getting their key via the official website would be interested to know this.

Login and goto you profile to claim.

Keys are limited to 20k on the first batch so to avoid disappointment tomorrow i wouldn't procrastinate on this one.

Enjoy!
