GK2 Codex

The wiki, inside the game. Press F4.

• Items: how anything is made, where, from what, what it's used for, and which raw materials it takes in the end. Where to sell it.
• Buildings: what they cost and what they make.
• Zombies: one table with every zombie, what it's doing and what's wrong (no tool, not enough talent, stuck), its body and how to improve it. Plus "who fits" for any zombie recipe.
• Alchemy: the formulas and mixes you've discovered, what you can mix from what you have, and every ingredient's runes.
• Graveyard: your level and the next goal, every grave and what holds it back, a map, and what to build next.
• Vendors: what each vendor you've met buys and sells, at what price, their likes this week, and what to sell to whom.
• Chests: every storage you've seen and what's in it.

Lost a zombie? Locate points you to it with the game's own pointer. Open any item's card from the inventory ("Codex" in the right-click menu, or hover it and press G).

Everything is clickable and searchable. No spoilers: only what your save has unlocked ("Show all" is optional). The game pauses while the codex is open. 11 languages, gamepad supported.

Settings

In the Mods menu (with GK2 Mod Framework), in ConfigurationManager, or in BepInEx/config/gk2.codex.cfg: hotkey, gamepad binding, tabs, text and window size, pause.

Manual install

Put GK2Codex.dll into BepInEx/plugins/GK2Codex/. Needs BepInEx 5.4.23.x (x64).

Locate was inspired by OrionAF's Dude where's my zombie. Thank you, OrionAF!

Changelog

0.10.30

• Added: an Ingredients view in the Alchemy tab: every alchemy ingredient you know with its red, green and blue runes, how many you have and where they lie. Item cards show an item's runes, and the Items tab has a Rune filter. Only runes the game already shows you (unless "Show all" is on).
• Added: search by ingredient in the Alchemy tab: type an ingredient's name to find the formulas and mixes that use it. Thanks lackizyy!
• Changed: a formula's mixes are listed once per set of ingredients (quality variants folded together), the ones you can make from what you have first. "All combinations" shows every mix, no longer cut off at 60. Thanks lackizyy!
• Added: a zombie's card shows its body (organs, red skulls against the collar's limit, fluids) and how to improve it with what's in your bag and chests. The Raising card lists which of your zombies can get more red skulls.
• Added: perk trees show the game's icon for each step, and a step you can buy now has a Buy button (the same as buying it in the zombie's Abilities window).
• Added: works with fletty's Zombie Rename: a rename button in the zombie table.
• Added: won fights are marked in the zombie Overview.
• Added: Buildings tab filters: Built / Not built and zone, with how many of each stand.
• Added: an item's card tells what else it's for when no recipe uses it: battle rewards and what it puts on the battlefield.
• Fixed: the codex could fail to open when one part of the save couldn't be read; the rest now opens.

0.10.22

• Fixed: after typing with an input method (e.g. Chinese), the mod's hotkeys could stop working until Shift or Ctrl was pressed again. Hotkeys now ignore keys that aren't part of them.
• Fixed: after switching the game language, the Chests tab kept the chest names in the old language.

0.10.21

• Fixed: with another mod that makes the game create a second input handler (Kebo Mod's "Start work once" option), the controller did nothing in the codex after opening it. Thanks Echelon for tracking it down!

0.10.20

• Changed: controller navigation works the same in every tab: the d-pad or stick moves to the nearest thing in that direction (list, the row of views and filters, the card, table rows). A presses, B steps back, LB/RB switch tabs.
• Changed: the controller focus is a bright frame you can actually see.
• Fixed: scrolling to the focused row in long lists (Herm, What to sell) left it half hidden under the top edge.
• Fixed: the level bar of the Graveyard and the Church didn't line up with the threshold numbers under it (level 60 showed near 200).

0.10.19

• Added: study info on item cards: studied or not, the cost, and (once studied) the tech points it gave. Items list filters (Not studied, Studied, I have it, Can be made, Sold by, Bought by, item types) and a Study view.
• Added: a Chests tab: every storage you've seen and what's in it, with search and Locate.
• Added: Alchemy filters: Can mix now, by rune, by station.
• Added: "You have N" on item cards: your backpack and every storage that holds it.
• Added: a + next to town orders (Vendors tab) adds them to Shopping List (when installed).
• Fixed: Locate now works for a zombie lying on the ground.
• Changed: right click steps a filter button back.

0.10.16

• Fixed: vendor prices were far too high in the Vendors tab ("What to sell", the vendor cards) and in an item's "Where to sell". They now match the trade window. "What to sell" counts a stack the way the game does, each sale lowering the price, and shows the total in red when the vendor can't pay for the whole stack today.
• Added: translations from files. Localization/en.json next to the DLL is the template: copy it to .json (e.g. uk.json, it.json) and translate. A file also overrides the built-in texts; the new Language setting picks a language the game doesn't have.
