Description:

and lo, after a month of work, it is done.

i’ve been playing Starbound since its days in early access. during that era, there was a TON of codexes you could find that painted a dark and mysterious side of Starbound’s setting that was unfortunately lost in the road to the 1.0 release. the new codexes aren’t bad, per se, but i did miss a lot of the mystery that was present in the beta codexes, as well as underlying stories that unfortunately didn’t make it into release lore.

thankfully, modding can solve a bit of those things. :y

this mod is my attempt at reimplementing the Koala-era codexes into the game, albiet tweaked a little to fit the current lore. that means the Ring of Thorns isn’t a thing, Greenfinger is referred to as a title rather than an individual name, and some stuff with Big Ape and the Miniknog is a bit different, alongside other things.

this is mostly for consistency’s sake, and i understand that not a lot of people will like this change if you’re a diehard legacy purist. additionally, a few of the more filler codexes were nixed from the mod, and there are a few cases of where i had to combine a few non-multipart codexes together and edit them to fit the change. for the most part, though, a lot of the text is the same, and i promise a lot of the meatier stuff made it in. c:

on the plus side, a lot of multi-part codexes are now combined into one book. they’re a bit rare to find, but hey, no more multi-book hunting (for the most part, anyway)! c:

legacy codexes are a little less common than vanilla codexes, but they are marked with a yellow Starbound symbol in their title. they can be found in any vanilla race’s dungeons and villages (aside from novakid and hylotl dungeons/villages. unfortunately there weren’t any hylotl codexes in beta!).

you can also spawn them in by using the admin command "/spawnitem CODEXNAME-codex"
