Mod Summary: Arkitect Structures is a collection of structure mods, each with its own theme.

Currently there are 2 mods, AS:Core and AS:Atlas.

They are designed to fit with CKF parts, and use similar snaps. "CKF" is the popular Castles, Keeps, and Forts mods from ExileAcid.

Almost every structure model has been adjusted, and several materials modified to make every structure look as good as possible.

Both mods contain new parts and building shapes not found in vanilla Ark, or Atlas.

Arkitect Structures: Core - This is the primary mod, and is required to use any other Arkitect Structure mods. It contains all the core files, as well as a full set of CKFR-sized, vanilla-themed structure parts. 7 Tiers total including Thatch, Wood, Stone, Adobe, Metal, Tek, and Greenhouse.

Arkitect Structures: Atlas - An optional addon mod that contains the 3 structure tiers from the game Atlas (Thatch, Wood, Stone), which have been rebuilt from scratch. The parts are resized to fit properly with Ark structures, and also made to match CKFR wall/roof height. The Atlas meshes have been tweaked to give more structure variant options.

New Parts - Corner and Valley parts - Atlas already had Corner/Valley roofs. We've added Corner and Valley stone-tier stairs. - Ark had no Corner/Valley parts, so every tier now has Corner/Valley roofs. - Taller ladders. These ladders fit the taller walls. They have the Locking and Quick-Climb features like S+ ladders. - Staircases. Different from Stairs, staircases are skinnier and have turns. AS:Atlas includes the U-Turn and L-Turn staircases from Atlas.

Many more parts are planned - More parts to fill in gaps in the existing structure tiers. - New structure variants for existing parts. - New stuff that isn't even in the game Atlas.

Engrams

There are only a few Engrams, and all the structure items are crafted in the crafting bench of each mod, to cut down on player engram bloat.

There is an Engram for each tier. For example, learning the Atlas Stone Tier engram will teach you all the Stone Tier parts, which will then be available in the Atlas Crafting table.

Snap Compatibility

AS:Core and AS:Atlas have 100% snap compatibility between each other.

Arkitect Structures has been designed for as much snap compatibility with ExileAcid's CKF mods as possible, particularly CKFR. It should be easy to mix and match parts with CKFR, CKF:SF, and CKF:Legacy.

Thanks

Big thanks to Eddychomps, the modder behind RP Edditions. He helped me with the Atlas mod significantly, porting all the materials from Atlas to work with Ark, creating new meshes, and providing feedback on the design for both mods. He taught me some Blender stuff, showed me some nice ways to set up engrams in the mods to reduce the number of engrams required, while still allowing server admins some control over progression.

Also thanks to Dragontears, Eryn, Strangechilde, Mythic_Kit, JunoBlade, Pelic, and Red Mustang for their testing and bug reports!
