📋 About This Mod
From the author of Better Inventory...
Known Plans
Marks the plans and recipes that you have already learnt with an icon at vendors, your stash and when you trade with others. No more blindly purchasing an interesting plan only to find out that you've already read it!
PLEASE NOTE / UPDATE: This feature has now been officially added to the game. This mod is now archived and its page now serves as a historical reminder of what used to be. Thank you for your support!
Installation
Extract the mod's dll to your Fallout 76 installation directory (where Fallout76.exe resides). Do not place in the Data directory.
Game updates may require the mod to be updated. If the game version is not compatible you will be informed and the mod will be automatically disabled.
How it works
The mod adds the following functionality to the function that retrieves item information for the trading window:
For items that are of type BOOK (i.e. notes) and learnable (i.e. plans/recipes vs standard notes), the HasBeenRead game condition function determines whether a plan or recipe has already been read. If a plan has already been read the name is prefixed. No action is taken on unread plans and all other item types.
Compatibility
Not compatible with other mods that use dxgi.dll. For Reshade users, rename Reshade's DLL to d3d11.dll to use both together.

- Community-approved with 962 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Solves a real problem—no more wasting caps on plans you already know.
- Simple install: just drop the DLL into the game folder.
⚠️ Cons
- Archived and obsolete—the feature is now in the base game, so no reason to install.

For Fallout 76 players who want a historical look at a mod that solved a QoL issue before Bethesda added it. Also useful for modders studying how to hook item info functions. Skip if you're playing the current game—the feature is already built in.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the DLL to your Fallout 76 installation directory (where Fallout76.exe is), not the Data folder.
- If you use Reshade, rename its DLL to d3d11.dll to avoid conflicts with this mod's dxgi.dll.
- Since the mod is archived, expect it to be disabled automatically if your game version is too new—don't panic if it doesn't show up.
