Bug Reporting Guidelines!

Read this page before reporting a bug. If you ignore these directions, your report may be ignored.

Before you report

Has it already been reported?
Check the issue tracker to see if your issue has already been reported. If so, see if you can contribute additional information, but do not file an additional report. If you're not sure if your issue is related, comment on the existing issue first.

Is it intended behavior? / Are you doing it right?
Make sure you're encountering a bug and not just an intended aspect of the mod. If a part isn't working, make sure you have enough electrical power. Check the version history to see if what you're experiencing was added as a feature. As always, check the forum thread.

Is it actually a Dytech Module problem?
See if the problem occurs if you uninstall the DyTech Module, and also see if it occurs when the DyTech Module is the only mod installed (DyTech-Core excluded for obvious reasons). The most common cause of lag is running out of memory, so make sure that's not the case by turning low graphics mode on.

Are you up-to-date?
Only the latest version of the DyTech Module (and DyTech-Core aswell) and the latest version of Factorio are supported. Make sure both are completely up-to-date before filing a report.

Filing a report

Bug reports and feature requests should be filed on the issue tracker here on Github. Please read the following guidelines for filing reports; it's very difficult for me to help otherwise.

  • Be specific. The title and description of your report should describe exactly what isn't working. Provide reproduction steps if you can, and explain in detail the symptoms of the issue and what causes it.
  • List other mods. You should list all the other mods you have installed.
  • System specifications. Include your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM) and your operating system.
  • One issue per report. If you have multiple issues, submit multiple reports. Don't lump everything together; it becomes difficult to track disparate issues that way.
  • Follow the latest guidelines They are described here

If you don't have enough information to file a bug report, you may ask questions on the forum thread. Do not send me private messages about bugs unless you believe the bug is an exploitable security issue.

Now that you have read this, you can submit the bug report here
