Cave Codex
Cave Codices are items that can be obtained by completing the research of a Cave Tablet in a Spelunkery Table. Like cave tablets, they have a variant for each cave biome added by Alex's Caves, however the biome is visible in the item's tooltip since it has been translated.
Obtaining
Researching
The Cave Codex is obtained through completing the minigame with the Spelunkery Table (see: Guides/Spelunkery Table Research). By translating a Cave Tablet and supplying paper, the player can receive a codex pertaining to the biome of the tablet used.
Usage
Crafting ingredient
The Cave Codex can be used with 8 paper in a crafting grid to create a Cave Biome Map that matches the codex.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Cave Biome Map | Paper + Cave Codex |
Compendium unlocking
Cave Codices can be used to unlock information in the Cave Compendium pertaining to the biome of the codex by using them. Four of the same codices are needed to unlock all chapters of a biome in the sequential order of:
- Introduction
- Resources
- Inhabitants
- Utilities
After four of the same codices have been used, they will stop being accepted as there is no more information about their matching biomes needed to be unlocked.
Secret unlocking
If the Cave Codex pertains to either the Primordial Caves or Toxic Caves, an extra codex can be used on top of the previous four to unlock secret information about the corresponding biomes.
This secret information isn't categorized into its own chapter; rather, it adds more information to previously unlocked chapters.
- Unlocking the secrets for the Primordial Caves reveals the entries of the Luxtructosaurus and Atlatitan in the previously unlocked Inhabitants chapter.
- Unlocking the secrets for the Toxic Caves reveals the entry for the Tremorzilla in the previously unlocked Inhabitants chapter.
