Tester Checklist

Mark every line you tried: ✓ it did what it says, ✗ it did not, n/a you could not test it. Leave it blank if you never got that far. Blank is data too, and it is why the list is worth measuring. Click a mark again to clear it. A ✗ opens a note; a note is welcome but never required. Put your name at the bottom and send.

Every line says how long it takes and where you have to be. Do the ones for wherever you are standing; the list does not want answering in order.

New build 3087 round is up.

Your tools wear out now. Every time you mine something, it wears down what the monster is holding just a little. At half worn it works at half strength until you fix it. There's a Repair Bench on your plot, out on the lawn (the grey lawn, work with me here) next to the Geode Cracker. It takes ore, not coins, and a tool only gets two repairs before it's done for good. Section two has seven items about it and it's the long part of the list.

Breeding is called merging now (politically correct Gus). Hearts have a level on them too: a monster's first merge wants level 75 and its second wants 100, so leveling a parent is worth something where it used to be pointless. Legendaries level up to five times slower than Commons.

The Convenience Store icons are in the top bar and on the side of the screen. There are four boosts and two passes. You don't have to buy anything to check it!

Every ore says "Ore" now, so Silver and Silver Ingot can't be mistaken for each other.

About two and a half hours if you did all of it, which nobody does. The build number in the bottom corner should say 3087 unless I randomly push something else. Answer what you get to and leave the rest blank.

Including things that are not on this list. The most useful reports usually are.

→ If you want to say more

  1. Quote the code. Every line has one: 2b, 4e, 6c. Leading with it saves everybody a paragraph.
  2. Screenshot it. Especially anything floating, buried, tilted or in the wrong place.
  3. Say roughly when you played, and whether you were alone in the server or with someone.
  4. Say what you expected and what happened. "The cart was sunk into the floor" beats "the cart looks wrong".
  5. Say whether it repeated after a rejoin. A lot of this is rolled fresh per server, so once vs. every time is the most useful thing you can tell us.
