Troubleshooting
===============
Don't panic! Even if you need this section, it'll be OK :)
If something goes wrong, check the log files in DF's folder
(``stderr.log`` and ``stdout.log``). Looking at these might help you -
or someone else - solve the problem. Take screenshots of any weird
error messages, and take notes on what you did to cause them.
If the search function in this documentation isn't enough and
:wiki:`the DF Wiki <>` hasn't helped, try asking in:
- the `#dfhack IRC channel on freenode <https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=dfhack>`_
- the `Bay12 DFHack thread <https://dfhack.org/bay12>`_
- the `/r/dwarffortress <https://dwarffortress.reddit.com>`_ questions thread
- the thread for the mod or Starter Pack you're using (if any)
Getting help
============
There are several support channels available - see `support` for details.

Getting Support
===============
DFHack has several ways to get help online, including:
- The `DFHack Discord server <https://dfhack.org/discord>`__
- The ``#dfhack`` IRC channel on `Libera <https://libera.chat/>`__
- The `DFHack thread on the Bay 12 Forum <https://dfhack.org/bay12>`__
Some additional, but less DFHack-specific, places where questions may be answered include:
- The `/r/dwarffortress <https://dwarffortress.reddit.com>`_ questions thread on Reddit
- If you are using a starter pack, the relevant thread on the `Bay 12 Forum <http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=2.0>`__ -
see the :wiki:`DF Wiki <Utility:Lazy_Newb_Pack>` for a list of these threads
When reaching out to any support channels regarding problems with DFHack, please
remember to provide enough details for others to identify the issue. For
instance, specific error messages (copied text or screenshots) are helpful, as
well as any steps you can follow to reproduce the problem. Sometimes, log output
from ``stderr.log`` in the DF folder can point to the cause of issues as well.
Some common questions may also be answered in documentation, including:
- This documentation (`online here <https://dfhack.readthedocs.io>`__; search functionality available `here <search>`)
- :wiki:`The DF wiki <>`
