is it an 'Unstable Early Access Experimental Beta Release'? :)īut jokes aside: I am glad to read that there is actually a way for all the GOG users to get the latest version. Some modern fancy wording for: a Beta that you have to pay for. Let me throw in another term: 'Early Access'. Valer1us: The only indicator for it being a Beta Release was the last sentence in the news: 'You can get experimental releases by selecting the 'experimental' beta branch under Factorio's properties in Steam.' It did help me figure things out quite a bit.

The term Beta exists for a reason.Īt least the Factorio people are not making the Stable Release avilable on Steam then to Gog when they feel like it which was my initial fear when I realized that 0.15.0 was 'Released', but not available via Gog. This is quite responsive as development goes, but I wish they would just call these Betas instead of a 'Release'. To put it another way it was not clearly communicated if 0.15.0 was a Beta or a Stable build. I know that the meaning of words change as people use them but at this point calling something a 'Release' means exactly what the person who wrote it means and nothing more.

I come from back in the day when a 'Release' was more or less a final product (occationally getting updates or rarely needing a patch to run correctly) and terms like an update and patch were not interchangable. The Factorio people seem to use use the terms 'Experimental Release', 'Stable Release', and sometimes just 'Release' which is problematic when the word 'Release' is not qualified. I think my confusion stems from when I watched then went looking for more info and found the Steam headline 'Factorio 0.15.1 released' and assumed that the game was released in a fit-for-general-consumer-use way. However the Steam client will only download experimental releases, if you enable Beta participation in the options. Valer1us: If you are referring to the news on the store page: The developers have always posted the latest release info there.

How/where did you get the option to download the latest Windows version (0.15.1 I think) and enter the GOG serial key? Also the normal downloads page is only the free version because my accounts is only the free one because it thinks I haven't bought the game yet! I've just created a new Factorio account in the hope of getting the new update, but when I go to the experimental download page the download links listed are for the headless version to run on Linux.

Obtaining the Serial Key via GOG Galaxy is not possible because of course it isn't. I can speculate that maybe Steam users are being used as proverbial guinea pigs, but I really don't know. I have no explanation of why Steam lists 0.15.1 as the latest release while the website lists it as an experimental release. To get the Serial Key log into Gog.com, go to your games, select Factorio, then click more and select 'Serial Key'. Your account will require you to enter the Serial Key at some point.

If you own the Gog version of the game and have a Factorio account then you can download 0.15.1 from the website. MrNybbles: Note: This should work the same for many future versions of Factorio.įor anyone who has noticed the Steam has 0.15.1 release and found that it isn't available through Gog yet, you can still download it (after jumping through a few hoops).
