BoneAI

Talk to BONELAB. BoneAI looks around, understands your request, and uses real game actions to carry it out.

Ask normal questions or give commands such as:

Spawn a Ford in front of me.

Find the nearest pistol, bring it to my right hand, and reload it.

Follow player 2.

Change me to my Morty avatar and make me stronger.

BoneAI v3.3 ships as one ZIP for both PCVR and standalone Quest/LemonLoader. It uses the same managed BoneAI.dll on both. Quest Codex account mode additionally uses the included Android ARM64 native App Server library from the BoneAI build branch of the Codex fork. PCVR users leave that Android file unused. The library runs inside BONELAB, so no PC or Python bridge is needed while playing on Quest. Quest can still use OpenRouter Free or another supported API provider without the native library.

For native source provenance and the security boundary, see native/README.md. The pinned Rust workspace and Android build inputs are included in native/codex-android-source-v3.zip, so Quest source is available directly from BoneAI as well as its fork. Release builders can package a successful native CI artifact with the compiled DLL using scripts/package-v3.ps1.

What you need

  • BONELAB PCVR 1.744.58126
  • MelonLoader 0.7.3 using the.NET 6 runtime
  • BoneLib 3.2.2
  • Internet access and either Codex account sign-in or a key for a supported API provider
  • Codex CLI/App Server on PCVR only if you choose account sign-in; Quest account mode uses the bundled Android native library
  • LabFusion 1.14.2 for multiplayer features (optional for offline play)
  • No SpawnLab installation is needed. BoneAI reads the game's live Marrow spawnable warehouse and uses BONELAB spawning offline or Fusion's network spawner online.

The unified v3.3 ZIP includes BoneAI's DLL and the Android native App Server library. BoneLib, Fusion, and BONELAB belong to their respective authors and must be installed separately. SpawnLab is neither bundled nor required.

Install BoneAI

  • Download the latest BoneAI-v*.zip from Releases.
  • Copy BoneAI.dll into BONELAB's Mods folder. For Quest Codex account mode also copy libcodex_app_server.so and its.sha256 file into LemonLoader's UserLibs folder.
  • Use this exact same DLL for PCVR MelonLoader or Quest LemonLoader.
  • On Quest, no PC-side BoneAI software is required. On PCVR, install Codex only if you want ChatGPT/Codex account login.
  • Start BONELAB.
  • For Quest Codex, open Preferences → BoneAI → AI Provider → Codex account sign-in, then Codex Account → Sign In With Codex. Finish the device-code flow and return to BONELAB.
  • For the free-model option, choose Free OpenRouter, enter your own OpenRouter key, and reconnect.
  • Open Assistant · Home, type into Ask BoneAI, and select Send prompt.

Quest Codex uses the native library inside the game; PCVR starts a locally installed Codex App Server. API providers connect directly over HTTPS. Python and a bridge script are not required.

Your BONELAB folder should contain:

BONELAB/

├─ Mods/

│ ├─ BoneLib.dll

│ ├─ LabFusion.dll (optional, for multiplayer)

│ └─ BoneAI.dll

└─ UserLibs/

├─ libcodex_app_server.so (Quest Codex only)

└─ libcodex_app_server.so.sha256

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
