      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Bug tracking

Anybody thought about a bug tracking system for TFC?

It would be easier to keep track of bugs and for the development team, It would be easier to know what are the issues with the last release of TFC.

I tried to find a bug tracking system (like an extension) but I found nothing (at least nothing that is stable and up to date).

Of course, there is many web based bug tracking software, but I don't like the fact that you have to create an account to report a bug (it would mean that you can have up to 3 account only for TFC).

The easy solution I found is to use google code. Why I think it's a good solution?

- Free

- No installation require (only need to create a project and it's done).

- Most people have a Google account to use one of their services, like Picasa, Blogger, Gmail, YouTube, Google +, GMail, Drive... Android phone owner who use Google Play... and more.

- Can customize the bug report.

Of course I think that people should talk about the issue on the forum before moving them to the bug tracker as many problems can easily be solved in the forum, but I think it would be a great tool to use.

IIRC TFC used to have a bug tracker but then got rid of it in favour of the 'Support' forum. Not sure why.

There is a bug tracker, but this is exactly why it is no longer public. When it was public, people posted a lot of not-bugs and it was getting spammed by bots as well. The forum is used as a filter, otherwise there would have been 20 new bugs that "knapping doesn't work" for this last release.

Then I see some options

1. Make it read only. At least we would know what are the known issues and what they are working to fix.

2. When an issue is reported on the forum, if it's confirmed as a bug, someone with access should say "it's added to the bug tracker.

It would really be nice to at least know what are the bugs they have on their list.

I'll ask you a good question then. Is it useless to update my bug list topic ? Honestly, I want to help cause I like to play TFC but I don't to do useless/unwanted things.

Yeah I agree it would be nice to see bugs added to the tracker. I went and looked at the bug tracker (TFC is on GitHub) and most of the bugs in your list aren't on it so they probably don't even really use it since there's only 2 devs.

I think your list is great, keep up the good work.
