Why this exists
Infinity Codex is the name; rien-ici.com is the address it lives at. Pillars of Eternity is a game that rewards tinkering. Respec a doomed build, spawn the item a bug swallowed, reveal a map you have already earned — the tools are there, but the knowledge is scattered across old forum posts, half-remembered command lists and comment threads. The Infinity Codex is an attempt to gather that knowledge into one clear, current place, written for players rather than for search engines.
What you will find here
The heart of the site is the console-command finder — a searchable, copyable list of the commands that actually work. Around it sit a plain-English guide to the IE Mod, a walk-through of the save & asset editor, and reference pages for item & money codes and attribute & skill names. A hand-labelled DayZ Chernarus map has lived at this address for years and stays for the players who still use it.
Who it is for
Two kinds of players, mostly. The first is the returning fan: someone reinstalling Pillars of Eternity years later, who remembers there was a way to enable the console but not the exact word, and wants the answer in ten seconds rather than ten tabs. The second is the experimenter — the player who treats a finished campaign as a sandbox, testing builds, staging screenshots, or simply seeing what a maxed-out party can do. Both are well served by tools that are fast, honest about their trade-offs, and free of the clutter that surrounds most cheat lists.
How the content is made
Everything here is written in plain language and checked against how the game actually behaves. Where a command or feature changed between patches — or differs between Pillars of Eternity and Deadfire — the pages say so rather than pretending one answer fits every version. Commands are presented with their real syntax and a clear description of what they do and cost you, including the important detail that enabling cheats disables achievements for that save. Nothing here is padded to look bigger than it is; a short, correct answer beats a long, vague one.
A note on the DayZ map
Alongside the Pillars of Eternity material you will find a hand-labelled DayZ Chernarus map. It has lived at this address for a long time and is kept because people still find their way to it and still find it useful. It sits a little apart from the modding guides, but removing something people rely on for the sake of tidiness never felt right.
Spotted something out of date?
Games get patched and details drift. If a command or step no longer matches your game, the contact page is the place to flag it, and it will be checked and corrected.
