About Castles, Keeps, and Forts Remastered

Castles, Keeps, and Forts Remastered is a medieval building mod for ARK: Survival Evolved, rebuilt from scratch from the original CKF. It works on any map and suits players who want castle-style bases that still fit with vanilla pieces.

  • Over 200 parts in three tiers: Settler (wood), Villager (stone) and Castle (metal).
  • Every part is paintable and has cosmetic variants, switchable from a distance with a quick change tool.
  • Vanilla floor sizes and snapping, stackable foundations, corner pillars, auto doors and no collision on placement.
  • All engrams are already in the mod's masonry table, so nothing needs unlocking.

It contains building parts only, no decor. The mod is stackable, needs no load priority and has an ARK: Survival Ascended version.

Mod Summary

CKF has had a major overhaul, everything in this mod has been completely remade from scratch in order to bring you a much greater experience when using Castles, Keeps, and Forts. CKFR now uses Vanilla floor sizes and shapes for easier mixing with vanilla and other mod floors.

CKFR parts also use an enhanced snap system, walls now snap side to side, as do the roofs and even around corners, leading to a more enjoyable building experience, greater structural integrity and more ways for you to realise your epic builds.

All the parts in CKFR are fully paint-able with multiple colour regions, and multiple static mesh variants within the parts to provide even more customisation. All parts are designed to fall within the performance optimisation of vanilla parts, with models and materials made to be within vanilla spec.

At the request of many of users, this mod has also now been registered with the Beacon App to allow users to to more easily add this mods items to spawn beacons on their servers.

This mod contains building and construction parts, there are no decor items within the mod. If you wish to decorate your builds, there is a wide variety of existing decor mods available on the steam workshop such as Medieval Props, Eco Decor and RP decor. The decor items used in some of the user submitted build images above will be found within those decor mods.
