[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/ Mantis Bug tracker] - Before creating a new bug report, please search the bug tracker first to see if the bug was already reported. When submitting a bug report:
 +
 
 +
* Make a note of any mods you're using.  If you made the mod yourself, include the raws for any relevant objects (use [code] tags).
 +
* If the game is crashing or refusing to open, include any error message that appears, along with your computer specifications and operating system.
 +
* If you have a save that reliably reproduces the bug, it may be helpful to upload the save to the [https://dffd.bay12games.com/ DF File Depot] or another file hosting site.
