Frontier Structures

A Frontier look for many structures

Frontier Structures is a structure skin in ARK: Survival Ascended. It arrived with the Frontier Showdown adventure pack, which belongs to the Bob's Tall Tales DLC, and using it requires that DLC. Its description: "You can use this to skin the appearance of many structures in a Frontier-style." Owners of the DLC find it in the cosmetics tab of their inventory.

Applying the look

Choose the skin from the cosmetics menu or the hotbar, then set it over each structure you want restyled. No resource tier limits it, and it has several modes, cycled with R. Structures that open and close also get their own sounds with it.

Compatible pieces

The ARK Wiki lists a wide range of building parts that take the skin, for example:

• foundations, walls, ceilings, pillars and beams in several sizes
• doorways and doors, cellar, hangar and barn doors included
• roofs, ramps, sloped walls, stairs and staircases
• windows, railings, ladders, hatch frames and trapdoors
• fence foundations and supports, and gates and gateways in standard and Behemoth sizes
• signs and billboards, saloon double doors, jailhouse doors, glass walls and drawing paper

A couple of groups that look like natural candidates do not take it: water intakes and taps, and tree and cliff platforms.

Weight and maps

The skin weighs 0 and stacks to 1. The wiki dates it to update 38.18, and our records list it on 9 maps, such as The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Colony and Astraeos.
