About

What it does

ASTRA Codex reads the Civilization VI data already on your PC and turns it into an in-game codex inside The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition.

Locates your Civ VI install automatically (Steam library scan, or the path Melty writes into its settings file for you).
Parses the game data read-only: civilizations, leaders, and the leaders' encyclopedia quotes (43 civilizations, 51 leaders, 19 quotes from the base game files on the reference PC).
Shows the codex in the Skyrim console (~) and writes the full text dump to %LOCALAPPDATA%\AstraCodex\codex.txt so you can read all of it outside the game.

Boundaries (by design)

No Take-Two or Bethesda assets are shipped. Everything displayed is read at runtime from your own installed copy of Civilization VI.
Read-only against both games. It never writes into either game's folder; its only output is under %LOCALAPPDATA%\AstraCodex.
It never quits your game.

Requirements

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (Melty launches it for you).
Sid Meier's Civilization VI on the same PC — your own copy.
Address Library for SKSE Plugins (versionlib-1-6-1170-0.bin for Skyrim SE 1.6.1170) in Data/SKSE/Plugins — Nexus Mods mod 32444 by meh321.
Ultimate ASI Loader — installed automatically by Melty.
