The title basically is my question. I would prefer to buy SE on the website, just wan't aware of this option when I bought the base game, so my base game is "only steam".
Will I have the option to claim a copy on steam from SE if I buy it on the website - just as with the base game? Will this be option available at the point of the release? I just don't wanna end up buying SE on website and not be able to play it, cause base is "only steam".
Maybe there is an option to claim a "website-key" from the base-game when I bought in on steam?

Yes you link your account on Factorio.com with your steam account and whichever way you buy it, you can use it both standalone and on steam.

Oh that's neat. I thought you needed to buy through the website for the standalone version access. Are you 100% sure about this?

can also confirm that you can buy the dlc on factorio.com while having bought the base game on steam.
you have to upgrade your account in the page profile of factorio.com
there insert you key you got from humble bundle to which you were forwarded to when you bought it on factorio.com
once the account is upgraded you can get a steam key in the steam section of you profile.
there should be a button to send the key by mail to you.
