How is the order of whether the bug/typos gets fixed decided?

As the title says, how is it decided that which bug or typo reports get fixed first? So far it seems critical failures or posts with a lot of replies in a bug report post (where a lot of people mention having the same problem) seem to get fixed 1st, but besides that, I'm just wondering what determines the priority. I don't know how big the team is for bug-fixing (I guess only Upcastdrake fixes it?). I don't think it's a big team so I don't expect everything gets fixed. But I'm just honestly curious.

Anything game breaking is high priority obviously.

After that, I just go down the bug report forum list and fix all the ones that are easy to fix. If I have to ask a writer or the cause of the bug or reproduction steps aren't known it can take a lot longer.

We generally do bug fixes in sweeps, and since we start from the most recent it's possible a report falls through the cracks. If you have a report that did fall through and you know it's still not fixed (could have been reported by someone else later and fixed) then feel free to bump the report so it goes to the top.

Alright, thanks! Guess I might do that for some reports. Also, thank u for your hard work!

Sorry for replying to the same post again but wanted to say that I know happen to post a LOT of bug reports. Obviously, I don't expect everything I post in bug reports to be fixed right away. Especially now since with the new update with the combat change and changing the old contents, there seem to be even more bug reports. I'll try not to spam you guys by updating old and unfixed bug reports to make them bump up to the top too much. Wish y'all luck.

You can always just post them all in one post, fyi.

I've done that in the TiTS bug reports, and the devs themselves advised me against that. Keeping different bugs, or at least different types of bugs, in separate threads helps keep track of which ones have been fixed and which haven't; putting small things like typos and misused parsers in the same thread is fine since they're (usually) quick and easy fixes (so the whole thread can be done at once and marked as fixed), but larger things that take more effort to fix (e.g. a mechanic is not working as intended) generally deserve a separate post.

Idk I thought it would be easier if I group them and post it as separate reports rather than having one super long posts full of scenes unrelated to each other.
