First,
check this board to see if the issue has already been reported. (If so, feel free to chime in over there.) You may also find the issue
listed here as fixed but to-be-released.
If not, make a new thread with a
descriptive title summarizing the bug. Something like "Recyclers recycling currently engaged combat robots" rather than simply "AI Bug." Ideally prefix the title with the version you're playing, e.g. "[Alpha 1]" (or at least put it in the post).
Explain:
- the circumstances under which the bug occurs,
- what happened, and, if possible,
- steps to reproduce the bug.
If your game crashed or exited on a fatal error,
it is extremely helpful if you attach a copy of the "crash.log" file.
If your game didn't crash, you can
attach a copy of the "run.log" file to potentially provide more information, but this is only relevant if you haven't started the game again since the problem occurred, as this file is overwritten with new information each time you run COGMIND.exe.
Note: You can also enable automated error reporting via the options menu ("Report Errors"), which will automatically attempt to upload crash.log if your game crashes, though this is more of a simple backup system since it's still much more helpful if you can describe the full circumstances of what went wrong!
If you have multiple bugs to report, please put each in a separate thread! (although something like a collection of related issues, e.g. typos, can all be put in the same thread).
