The Wasteland Codex is a mod that lets you unlock the Articles of an in-game lore database of the Fallout Universe piece-by-piece as you travel the Wasteland and listen to the voice of The Storyteller.
The Wasteland Codex v9. 157 contains the full Bestiary, Chems, Factions, Humanoids, Power Armor, Pre-War Companies, Robots, Vehicles and Weapons sections of the lore book.
Expect this mod to be continuously extended with additional content for a long time!
You can unlock these lore entries by simply playing the game as usual - killing enemies, visit locations, meeting new friends.
Unlocked Codex Articles are sorted into multiple categories and can be accessed through the Wasteland Codex holotape which provides valuable information, pictures and professional narration by The Storyteller himself.
With the Auto-Play feature you can even listen to new Articles without needing to open up the Codex.
From v8. 132 you can try out the Recently Unlocked Entries hotkey feature to quickly play recently unlocked codex articles you haven't heard yet.
