🧪 Alpha Testing
How to become a Tester, and everything you need once you are one.
我们需要你！ nanos world 已经积极开发多年，现在处于封闭测试中！这意味着大量工作已经完成，是时候来测试极限了！
我们热爱我们的测试员！我们认为测试员是 nanos world 至关重要的基石。我们的大部分功能和漏洞修复都是基于你们的反馈来进行的！因此，我们会严格且彻底地挑选测试员！
谁可以成为测试员？
所有人都可以注册！我们正在寻找对沙盒游戏充满热情并愿意提供帮助的人！所有的意见都至关重要！我们会优先考虑那些对创作内容、编写脚本以及测试我们 API 感兴趣的人！让我们知道你的兴趣所在！
我们强烈建议你在我们的 Discord 上联系我们！活跃的社区成员将极有可能更早获得资格！请务必进行自我介绍，以便我们能够彼此了解 😄！
请通过表单告诉我们你为什么应该成为测试员，以及你如何能为 nanos world 的开发做出贡献！如果你在其他领域拥有一技之长，并且也希望以其他方式做出贡献，请随时展示你的能力！
填表时需要注意以下几点：
- 用英文填写你的答案，其他语言的申请将会被忽略，即使审核人恰好会说你的语言。
- 认识已经获得资格的人，或者你是通过朋友听说 nanos world 的吗？在表单中提出来吧！
- 向我们展示你是发自内心地想要加入，并告诉我们你拥有的任何相关经验。
- 亲自写下你的答案，通篇由 AI 生成的回复将被忽略。我们希望邀请的是真实的人，而不是聊天机器人。
我如何知道自己被选中了？
Once selected, you will get notified by e-mail! So make sure the e-mail you entered in the form is correct and that you check your inbox (and spam folder) regularly. Also make sure your e-mail is updated in your account so we can reach you!
我们每周都会审核测试员的申请。我们并不总是能像预期的那样快速做出回应，但所有的申请都会被存储起来，绝不会被丢弃。活跃的社区成员极有可能被优先考虑！
我可以重新申请吗？
如果你没有被选中，且距离你提交申请已经过去超过 1 个月，你可以重新申请（请适度）。这是一个补充更多细节并思考你可以如何改进的机会！
还有其他体验游戏的机会吗？
当然！除了正在进行的封闭测试外，我们还会定期举办公开游戏测试活动，任何人都可以直接通过我们的 Steam 页面加入，无需申请。这些活动包括我们的万圣节测试、愚人节测试以及其他社区测试环节。密切关注我们的 Discord 以获取下一次活动的动态！

After You Are Selected
Welcome to the team! Here is everything you need to get going.
Redeem your Key
Your Steam key is delivered in your account. You may receive a Playtest key or a Beta key (the normal game): both give you access to the same game. Steam strictly limits the amount of Beta keys, so we are handing out Playtest keys for now.
The two are separate Steam Apps, and players can only join servers running the same one. The server runs as Playtest by default, change it with the --steam_app "game" parameter in Server Configuration if you want to connect from a normal game. If you have a Beta key and need a Playtest one, you can request one by submitting a ticket in our Support.
Link your Discord
Link your Discord account in your Profile to get the Tester or Playtester role and access to the testers' channels. If the role doesn't show up, ask a moderator to update your profile.
Steam Branches
nanos world has two branches on Steam:
default: updated once a build has proven stable onbleeding-edge.bleeding-edge: updated almost weekly with new features and fixes.
To switch, right click nanos world in your Steam Library, go to Properties → Betas and select bleeding-edge.
We ask and suggestion always using bleeding-edge, since it helps us test new features before everyone else!
Play & Test Sessions
We sometimes schedule play sessions and massive test sessions to test specific features or the game stability. That doesn't mean you can only play on those dates: feel free and encouraged to play, create and test at any time! Almost all of our updates are driven by the continuous feedback we receive from testers.
