    You'll be notified via email when the beta is available, which should be sometime later this year (no exact date yet). From there, the way I understand it is that you get to redeem a Steam or direct download copy of the game via a code you get given. But you won't have to worry about doing this for a while yet.

    When it's available, you will probably be able to download it from your humble bundle page, or redeem the steam code and get it on steam and play it through steam's early access

    Never pre-ordered from humble but you should get the email Jonesy mentioned and the current page for your pre-order will get a link to download the game added and a steam key redemption box. If you have a humble account Starbound should also pop up in your humble game library.

    More or less. When you pre-order, you get access to Early Access straight away. You also get the full game, when it's released.

    Depends. If you purchased directly through Steam, the game should be in your library. If you used Humble, you should get a code to redeem on Steam.

    Alright, if you have to code, you'll need to enter it into Steam. Install the client and create an account if you haven't done so already. Open it up, then go to "Games" at the top of the menu, and select "Activate a product on Steam". Follow the prompts, and enter your code when asked, and that should activate it. Then it's just a matter of downloading and installing it.

    And thanks. I try. :)

    No worries. What I'm doing is all on a volunteer basis, but it's not like I need to be paid to spend time on the forums.
