Hi all,
This is a reference thread for those wishing to report a bug.
The format below can be used as a guideline to help report a bug to SWD Team.

A Note:
Note: It's important to know the difference as the team continues to support specific versions of the mod (both 1.8 and 1.7.10 are both current) but always are moving the mod through updates.
Also, keep in mind that updates are not always for all versions and may only apply to a specific version of the mod (for example. we've been getting a number of 1.8 updates lately, but I don't remember exactly how long it's been since 1.7.10 was last updated)

Added. Thanks for that, I didn't think of it!
You should add
Update Number of the Dalek Mod (Not the Same as Version):
Thanks! Added.
Imo there should be a variant of the bugs report for the forums.
It's a bit confusing when there are headings like "what does it affect in game."
