| − | ===Find help===
| |
| − | For help with a mod, the mod author is the best person to ask. These are the best ways to contact them:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # the discussion thread linked to on the mod page (if any);
| |
| − | # the 'bugs' section on the Nexus mod page (if any);
| |
| − | # otherwise contact the author directly (e.g. use the 'Contact' button on the Nexus mod page).
| |
| − | | |
| − | For help with...
| |
| − | * SMAPI: [[Modding:Community|ask the community]] or [https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/smapi-stardew-modding-api.108375 post in this thread].
| |
| − | * a mod whose author can't be contacted: [[Modding:Community|ask the community]] or [http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/dos-and-donts-of-reporting-issues-with-smapi-mods.125211 post in this thread].

| − | Figuring out why something went wrong for someone else can be tough, so it helps if you include as much information as possible. Here's the most useful information you can give.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Describe your problem:
| |
| − | #* Which mod has an issue?
| |
| − | #* What is the problem? Be as descriptive as possible. (Does the game freeze or close? Does the screen go black? Does nothing at all happen?)
| |
| − | #* What were you doing when it broke? Did you notice a pattern? For example, maybe it always breaks when you do a certain thing.
| |
| − | # Describe your context:
| |
| − | #* Do you use a mod manager? If so, which one?
| |
| − | #* Do you play on Linux, Mac, or Windows?
| |
| − | # Upload your SMAPI log to [https://log.smapi.io/ log.smapi.io] (see instructions on that page), and add a link to your message.
