      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.

Suggestion Categories

17 posts in this topic

My suggestion is very simple: Add sub-categories for the suggestion forum. There are already categories in the suggestion directory so you could use these. This would have two advantages:

 

1. You could find other suggestions more easily and avoid double suggestions.

2. Instead of 60 pages of suggestions you would have maybe 3 pages in each category.

=> Old topics wouldn't get lost as fast and the forum would be more clear in general.

 

Of course this isn't as much-needed as on certain other websites because Kittychanley is doing a great job here, but still it would be an improvement (I think).

Good organizational idea in my eyes, just as long as it's limited to relevant topics for the mods. (Gameplay, items, mods, etc.)It'd be nice to have an updated directory too, since there's certainly a lot of wonderful ideas getting buried. With that kind of organization, it may make it easier for devs to decide what they would like to consider adding to the game. ^^

I like the idea, but it's a lot of work. :(

 

If somebody would be so kind as to create some sort of list that has the subforum titles, and links to all the threads you think belong in each subforum, it would make me super duper happy.

Eh, I prefer the categories, as noname_42 suggested, that are already in the suggestions directory:

 

World Gen/Structures

Inventory/Storage

Combat/Weapons

Tools

Food

Transportation/Boats/Water

Fantasy/Enchanting

Skills/Knowledge/Levels

Currency

Animals/Mobs

Health

Uses for the Useless

Other

 

The categories you listed don't really work that well for someone who is new to the forum, and wants to know where to look when they have a suggestion, and I would bet that a whole lot of them would end up in 1001 Small Suggestions, when in reality it's a very large suggestion.

Yes, my experiment with 1001 small suggestions was a bust... it was basically meant to be the Uses for the Useless category with a small bit of added tweaks in there but it seems this community doesn't know the meaning of small. On one hand that's a good thing, with the amazing builds and hardcore play... on the other hand, we may need to work on communication skills a bit.

Well, it's easy to run out of small tweaks when everyone agrees to some degree on how gameplay mechanics are. I'm sure there are plenty of little things that haven't been mentioned, but they're probably biased to gameplay styles, instead of just suggesting something interesting.This idea of subcategories is pretty nice, and it is going to be a lot of work. Sounds like another forum moderator may need to be added to the roster to help out in that case. Already seems like Kitty has her hands full. This is only going to add onto it.

I wonder if using an issue tracker or something similar would make maintaining and organising a suggestion thread easier. Force suggestions to tag with category so they could be filtered.

You are amazing. The best that I can offer right now for my gratitude is a custom forum title. It appears right now that your title is "Wood Cutter"

 

Let me know what you would like your title changed to, and as long as it is within reason, I will change it.

Yes I know that, but I don't see a reason for that reward.

I just put the first two pages of the suggestion forum into the list in roughly 5 minutes. :huh:

I have lots and lots of work to do with the forums and the wiki. Even when somebody just does 5 minutes of that work for me, it makes my life easier and makes me happy, so I like to reward that behavior.

I believe we still don't have proper tags for this forum.

Would be much easier for organization to have what he do in this Category things as forum topic tags, and Suggestion discovery thread would then have links to search pages over suggestion subforum for topics bearing such tags in order of last update date. I would expect this is simple enough thing that lessens Kitty's workload by a ton by allowing users themselves to police what goes where, and admins are sill able to police users' stuff by removing and adding appropriate tags.

What about doing that for the TFC2 suggestion forum before it is to late...?
