If there is anything taken from this post, take this.

[Mods]

If you CANNOT reproduce the issue with NO MODS enabled, it is likely a MOD SPECIFIC issue which we cannot provide support for. Do NOT post a bug report if you have not done this, as this makes it harder for everyone, and unnecessary time troubleshooting and verifying issues that could be spent on issues we are certain are occurring in vanilla.

[Information]

To help us narrow down and solve bugs faster, this guide will save everyone significant time if used correctly.
Before posting a report, please use the search function to see if another member has already posted a topic about the same issue.

Duplicating an issue will not speed up the process of fixing it but only create a backlog with us looking into issues that are already known. Please, double check this before posting. We will also not accept bug reports with ANY mods enabled.

[Map Issues]

TITLE FORMATTING EXAMPLE

[Stuck inside room: 10627x9657x0]

Where '0' is the level, e.g "0" being ground floor, "1" being a floor above, “-1” one floor below.

POST FORMATTING EXAMPLE:

 [My character is stuck inside this room, and I can't get out.]
(attach screenshot(s) here)

Right click your location and you will see “Coordinates Report”, or “Room Report”, depending on if you are inside or outside. We will refer to both collectively as “Coordinates Report” for now.

“Coordinates Report”, has the coordinates of the location, as X, Y, and Z. Post that above like the example, with screenshots highlighting the issue.

[Tile Issues]

TITLE FORMATTING EXAMPLE:

[Indoor_vegetation_07_26 has no collision]

To get this info, we currently have it implemented for much easier use without needing to leave the game.

Right click the tile, and you will see “Tile Report” with information regarding the tile. Post that above like the example, with screenshots highlighting the issue.
