How do I create a mod for Terasology?
How Do I change key bindings?
How do I use / open the console?

and yeah :
How do I slap minions around?

Thanks - I'm thinking some of the more detailed stuff should be in the wiki and/or forum, but some of those could go in there and link if nothing else

(And, of course, we need to actually have the code to back some of the answers, heh)

Here's a big one or two:
Why isn't the launcher working?
Is this Minecraft?
Why is _____ not working?

 

[Cervator]

O hai Skyrannus ! Seems this thread got lost for quite a while

Anything "not working" is really more of a support question as we will need to fix it! Are you hitting any issues or just coming up with questions?

As for whether it is Minecraft ... yeah okay, we probably should answer that one better

 

[Skyrannus]

Coming up with. It's a question I see on a lot of FAQ's

 

[Wolfgange]

I think you should have "Why isn't ___ working?" On the FAQ and then the answer would be to go to the support section (Create an account) and post the problem.

And I think somewhere in one of the main pages/under a FAQ question for How do "I ___?" there should be either a tutorial or a link to a video tutorial, especially on some of the mods. Because I still have no idea how to mess with L+S, and I barely understand the crafting system.

I got some questions:
why is there still no faq?
where I can see the changelog?

Might be the best question yet right there! A: We've started more initiatives so far than we've finished I'm afraid We haven't gotten back to updating some of the forum pages, that item is languishing on a todo list somewhere.

Best place to check changes would be Jenkins: http://jenkins.terasology.org/job/TerasologyStable/changes

That link has changes aggregated for the stable builds. If you use the launcher it'll display changes right in the window too, including for the dev builds.

(missed the right rating icon first time, fixed, sorry about that!)
