Keyz Reference Tools

Keyz' Reference Tools

A utility mod that adds an in-game reference browser for every Def loaded in your current modlist. No more alt-tabbing to the wiki or digging through XML files to figure out what something is, how to make it, or what research unlocks it.

Fully read-only — it never touches your world state.

Features

Reference Tab

A new Reference button in the bottom tab bar (alongside Architect, Work, Schedule, etc.). Opens a full-screen browser panel.

Search & Filter

• Live search across Def name, label, and description

• Filter by Def type (ThingDef, RecipeDef, HediffDef, ResearchProjectDef, ...)

• Filter by source mod or DLC

• Toggle to hide items locked behind unfinished research

Detail Panel

Click any result to open its detail view. Four tabs:

Info

• Label, description, icon, and full stat block

• Related links — recipes that produce it, workbenches that craft it, required research, what research unlocks, and more

• Clicking a related link navigates to that Def — breadcrumb bar tracks your path so you can navigate back

XML

• Serialized in-memory state of the Def — fully resolved after inheritance and patches

• Copy to clipboard button

• View patches applied to the XML

Technical

• Type chain, comp classes, graphic data, tools, ingestible properties, hediff stages, research prerequisites, genes, body parts, traits, abilities, and more

• Displayed as collapsible sections so you can drill into only what you need

Instances

• Live query of the current map for things, pawns with hediffs/thoughts/genes/traits matching the selected Def

• Click any row to close the browser and jump the camera directly to that instance
