+
+A pure-Python library for parsing ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE) and ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) save files. Zero third-party dependencies.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- **Player Profiles** (`.arkprofile`): platform gamertag, character name, level, stats, engrams
+- **Tribe Data** (`.arktribe`): members, ranks, logs, alliances
+- **Cloud Inventory / Obelisk**: uploaded creatures, items, cryopod contents
+- **World Saves** (`.ark`): full map state (creatures, structures, items, players)
+- **Dual format**: automatic ASE (v5-12) / ASA (v13-14+, SQLite) detection
+- **Legacy-parity export**: drop-in JSON output matching `ASVExport.exe` schema, plus parser-only extras under `extra_*` keys
+- **Fast**: pure-Python `BinaryReader` (`int.from_bytes` + `struct.Struct` unpackers, slots-based dataclasses) — a 30 MB ASE save (65k objects) loads in ~3s on CPython 3.14
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install arkparser
+# or editable install for development
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Player Profile
+
+```python
+from arkparser import Profile
+
+profile = Profile.load("path/to/player.arkprofile")  # auto-detects ASE/ASA
+
+print(profile.player_name)         # Platform gamertag / display name
+print(profile.character_name)      # In-game character name
+print(profile.level)               # 105
+print(profile.tribe_id)            # 1729028872
+print(profile.engram_blueprints)   # ["EngramEntry_Campfire_C", ...]
+print(profile.get_stat(0))         # Health level-up points
+print(profile.to_dict())           # Full dict export
+```
+
+### Tribe Data
+
+```python
+from arkparser import Tribe
+
+tribe = Tribe.load("path/to/tribe.arktribe")
+
+print(tribe.name)           # "My Tribe"
+print(tribe.tribe_id)       # 1729028872
+print(tribe.member_count)   # 3
+for member in tribe.get_members():
+    print(f"  {member['name']} (ID: {member['player_id']})")
+print(tribe.log_entries)    # ["Day 45: Tamed a Rex", ...]
+```
+
+### Cloud Inventory / Obelisk
+
+```python
+from arkparser import CloudInventory
+
+inv = CloudInventory.load("path/to/obelisk_file")  # or use Obelisk alias
+
+for creature in inv.uploaded_creatures:
+    print(f"  {creature.species} Lv{creature.level} - {creature.name}")
+
+for item in inv.uploaded_items:
+    print(f"  {item.display_name} x{item.quantity} ({item.quality_name})")
+    if item.is_cryopod and item.cryopod_creature:
+        cryo = item.cryopod_creature
+        print(f"    Contains: {cryo.species} Lv{cryo.level}")
+```
+
+### World Save
+
+```python
+from arkparser import WorldSave
+
+save = WorldSave.load("path/to/Extinction.ark")       # ASE
+save = WorldSave.load("path/to/Extinction_WP.ark")    # ASA
+
+print(f"Objects: {save.object_count}")
+print(f"Creatures: {len(save.get_creatures())}")
+print(f"Structures: {len(save.get_structures())}")
+print(f"Parse errors: {save.parse_error_count}")
+print(f"Is ASA: {save.is_asa}")
+```
+
+### Cryopod-stored Creatures
+
+Tamed creatures stored inside in-world cryopods aren't returned by `get_tamed_creatures()`. Iterate them via `WorldSave.iter_cryopod_creatures()`:
+
+```python
+for item_obj, cryo in save.iter_cryopod_creatures():
+    print(f"{cryo.species} Lv{cryo.level} (in {item_obj.class_name})")
+```
+
+### Direct GameObject Access
+
+`arkparser` exposes the raw `GameObject` graph for callers that need flexibility beyond the default exports:
+
+```python
+for obj in save.get_tamed_creatures():
+    name = obj.get_property_value("TamedName") or "<unnamed>"
+    tribe = obj.get_property_value("TargetingTeam") or 0
+    print(f"{obj.class_name} - {name} (tribe {tribe})")
+```
+
+### JSON Export (Legacy ASV Schema)
+
+```python
+from arkparser import export_all, export_to_files
+from arkparser.common import get_map_config
+
+map_config = get_map_config("extinction.ark")
+
+data = export_all(save, map_config)
+# {"ASV_Tamed": [...], "ASV_Wild": [...], "ASV_Players": [...],
+#  "ASV_Tribes": [...], "ASV_Structures": [...], "ASV_TribeLogs": [...],
+#  "ASV_MapStructures": [...]}
+
+export_to_files(save, "output/", map_config)
+# Writes ASV_Tamed.json, ASV_Wild.json, ..., ASV_MapStructures.json
+# Each file is wrapped with the legacy `{map, day, time, data}` envelope.
+```
+
+Each export wraps a flat list of record dicts in the legacy `{map, day, time, data}` envelope (with `wrap=True`). Tables below document every field in each record. Fields present in the original `ASVExport.exe` output are marked **legacy**; fields added by this parser are marked **added** and use plain descriptive names (no namespace prefix).
+
+#### Stat-token convention
+
+The parser reuses the legacy short stat tokens consistently across every export and every stat block:
+
+`hp` `stam` `torp` `oxy` `food` `water` `temp` `weight` `melee` `speed` `fort` `craft`
+
+These map 1:1 to in-game stat indices 0..11. Stat blocks use suffixes to disambiguate:
+
+- **no suffix** — base wild stats (wild creatures, players)
+- **`-w`** — base wild stats (tamed creatures, points the creature had before being tamed)
+- **`-t`** — post-tame level-up points (tamed creatures only)
+- **`-m`** — mutation points applied (tamed creatures only)
+
+The legacy ASVExport.exe emitted only the visible 8 stats (`hp`, `stam`, `melee`, `weight`, `speed`, `food`, `oxy`, `craft`) under each suffix. The parser appends the four legacy never surfaced (`torp`, `water`, `temp`, `fort`) at the end of each block, so e.g. a tamed creature now carries `torp-w`, `water-w`, `temp-w`, `fort-w` alongside the legacy `hp-w`..`craft-w`.
+
+#### `ASV_Tamed` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | legacy | `(DinoID1 << 32) \| DinoID2` |
+| `tribeid` | legacy | `TargetingTeam` |
+| `tribe` | legacy | `TribeName` (or `null` when blank) |
+| `tamer` | legacy | `TamerString` |
+| `imprinter` | legacy | `ImprinterName` |
+| `imprint` | legacy | `DinoImprintingQuality` (status) |
+| `creature` | legacy | `GameObject.class_name` |
+| `name` | legacy | `TamedName` |
+| `sex` | legacy | `"Female"` if `bIsFemale` else `"Male"` |
+| `base` | legacy | `BaseCharacterLevel` (status) |
+| `lvl` | legacy | `BaseCharacterLevel + ExtraCharacterLevel` |
+| `lat`, `lon` | legacy | `MapConfig.ue_to_lat(y)` / `ue_to_lon(x)` |
+| `hp-w` .. `craft-w` | legacy | `NumberOfLevelUpPointsApplied[i]` (wild stat points) |
+| `torp-w`, `water-w`, `temp-w`, `fort-w` | added | same source, indices legacy never emitted |
+| `hp-t` .. `craft-t` | legacy | `NumberOfLevelUpPointsAppliedTamed[i]` |
+| `torp-t`, `water-t`, `temp-t`, `fort-t` | added | same source, indices legacy never emitted |
+| `hp-m` .. `fort-m` (all 12) | added | `NumberOfMutationsAppliedTamed[i]` (mutation point counts per stat) |
+| `c0` .. `c5` | legacy | `ColorSetIndices[i]` |
+| `mut-f`, `mut-m` | legacy | **Ancestor-line totals.** `RandomMutationsFemale` and `RandomMutationsMale` — single integers counting the total number of mutations that occurred down the maternal and paternal ancestry lines respectively. These are *not* per-stat — they share the `-m` token with the per-stat mutation block below but mean a different thing. Kept under the legacy names for ASVExport parity. |
+| `cryo` | legacy | `IsInCryo` |
+| `ccc` | legacy | `"{x} {y} {z}"` from `LocationData` |
+| `dinoid` | legacy | string form of `id` |
+| `isMating` | legacy | `bEnableTamedMating` |
+| `isNeutered` | legacy | `bNeutered` |
+| `isClone` | legacy | `bIsClone` or `bIsCloneDino` |
+| `tamedServer` | legacy | `TamedOnServerName` |
+| `uploadedServer` | legacy | `UploadedFromServerName` |
+| `maturation` | legacy | `str(int(BabyAge * 100))` (string for legacy parity) |
+| `traits` | legacy | `CreatureTraits` (full list of mutation trait class names) |
+| `inventory` | legacy | items from `MyInventoryComponent.InventoryItems`. Each entry carries `itemId`, `qty`, `blueprint`. When the item is a **cryopod / soultrap / vivarium / dinoball** with an embedded creature, the entry is enriched with `dino_id` (combined 64-bit id matching the corresponding `ASV_Tamed` record), `dino_creature` (species / class name), and `dino_name` (`TamedName` if set). Cryopods stored in containers (cryofridges, vaults, dedicated storage) get the same enrichment. |
+| `father_id`, `mother_id` | added | combined dino id from the first `DinoAncestors` entry (`null` when missing) |
+| `father_name`, `mother_name` | added | name strings from the first `DinoAncestors` entry |
+| `level_added` | added | `ExtraCharacterLevel` (post-tame levels, broken out from `lvl`) |
+| `experience` | added | `ExperiencePoints` (status), integer |
+| `wandering` | added | `bEnableTamedWandering` |
+| `tamed_at` | added | ISO 8601 datetime with local TZ, converted from `TamedAtTime` (in-game seconds) via `file_mtime + (tamed_at - game_time)`. `null` when the save lacks the anchors. |
+| `last_ally_in_range` | added | ISO 8601 datetime with local TZ — converted from `LastInAllyRangeTime` / `LastInAllyRangeSerialized` via the same anchor formula as `tamed_at`. `null` when the save lacks the anchors. |
+| `imprinter_player_id` | added | `ImprinterPlayerDataID` |
+| `imprinter_net_id` | added | `ImprinterPlayerUniqueNetId` (ASA only) |
+| `taming_team_id` | added | `TamingTeamID` (fallback tribe id when `TargetingTeam` was stripped on cryo) |
+| `owning_player_id`, `owning_player_name` | added | `OwningPlayerID` / `OwningPlayerName` — current owner (may differ from the original `tamer` after transfer / cryo). |
+| `aggression_level` | added | `TamedAggressionLevel` — 0 Passive, 1 Neutral, 2 Aggressive, 3 Passive Flee, 4 Attack-My-Target (ARK in-game order). |
+| `ai_targeting_range` | added | `TamedAITargetingRange` — aggro range (UE units). |
+| `follow_stopping_distance` | added | `FollowStoppingDistance` — follow-AI stopping radius. |
+| `is_flying` | added | `bIsFlying`. |
+| `is_turret_mode` | added | `bIsInTurretMode` — e.g. plant Y, Tek tape sentry mode. |
+| `ignore_whistles`, `only_target_conscious`, `attack_team_member_dinos` | added | `bIgnoreAllWhistles` / `bOnlyTargetConscious` / `bAttackTeamMemberDinos` — behavior toggles. |
+| `next_cuddle_food`, `next_cuddle_type` | added | `BabyCuddleFood` / `BabyCuddleType` — next imprint requirement. |
+| `latest_uploaded_server`, `previous_uploaded_server` | added | `LatestUploadedFromServerName` / `PreviousUploadedFromServerName` — recent upload history alongside the legacy `uploadedServer`. |
+| `saddle_structures` | added | List of structure object-ref strings placed on this creature's platform saddle (paracer / brontosaurus / titanosaur etc.). |
+| `harvest_resource_levels` | added | `HarvestResourceLevels` — per-resource harvest levels (mortar / feeding trough variants). |
+| `wild_spawn_region` | added | `OriginalNPCVolumeName` — name of the `NPCZoneVolume` where this creature first spawned. Lets consumers answer "where on the map did this tame originate". |
+| `downloaded_at` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of the last cluster/obelisk download (`DinoDownloadedAtTime`). `null` when the creature was never cluster-downloaded. |
+| `original_created` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of the dino's first spawn (`OriginalCreationTime`), e.g. when the egg was laid or the wild dino spawned. Distinct from `tamed_at`. |
+| `next_mating_at` | added | ISO 8601 datetime when the next mating is allowed (`NextAllowedMatingTime`). `null` when no cooldown is set. |
+| `last_stasis` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastEnterStasisTime` (last time the creature entered stasis). |
+| `last_baby_age_update` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastUpdatedBabyAgeAtTime`. |
+| `last_gestation_update` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastUpdatedGestationAtTime`. |
+| `next_cuddle` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `BabyNextCuddleTime`. |
+
+#### `ASV_Wild` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id`, `dinoid` | legacy | `(DinoID1 << 32) \| DinoID2` and its string form |
+| `creature` | legacy | `GameObject.class_name` |
+| `sex` | legacy | `"Female"` if `bIsFemale` else `"Male"` |
+| `lvl` | legacy | `BaseCharacterLevel` (status) |

+| `hp` .. `craft` | legacy | `NumberOfLevelUpPointsApplied[i]` (8 visible stats) |
+| `torp`, `water`, `temp`, `fort` | added | same source, indices legacy never emitted |
+| `c0` .. `c5` | legacy | `ColorSetIndices[i]` |
+| `tameable` | legacy | mirror of legacy `ContentWildCreature.IsTameable` rule |
+| `trait` | legacy | first entry of `CreatureTraits` (or empty string) |
+| `traits` | added | full `CreatureTraits` list |
+| `wild_spawn_region` | added | `OriginalNPCVolumeName` — `NPCZoneVolume` the creature spawned in. |
+
+#### Player data: `.arkprofile` vs in-world pawn
+
+ARK keeps player data in **two distinct places**, and the parser builds `ASV_Players` records from whichever source you hand it:
+
+| Source | Persistence | Coverage | Has location? | Has inventory? |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **`.arkprofile`** parsed via `Profile.load(...)` | Survives logout, server restart, and character death | Every player who ever logged in | No (profile carries no in-world position) | No (profile only stores engrams / hairstyles / unlocked customizations, not the live inventory) |
+| **In-world `PlayerPawn`** GameObject inside `WorldSave` | Only present while the character is spawned on the map (i.e. not logged out / dead with corpse cleared) | Currently-online or recently-disconnected players | Yes (`obj.location` → `lat`/`lon`/`ccc`) | Yes (live `MyInventoryComponent` contents) |
+
+The export pipeline (`export_players`) loops over `save.profiles` (a list the caller assembles). For each entry:
+
+- If it's a `Profile` instance → `_player_from_profile` runs: fills core identity (name, gender, level, stats, tribe id, engram count, experience, active datetime from `LastLoginTime`). Leaves `lat`/`lon`/`ccc` as zero, `inventory` empty, pawn-state flags (`is_sleeping`, `is_dead`, `chibi_levels`, …) absent.
+- Otherwise it's treated as a wrapped `(profile, objects)` pair pointing at an in-world `PlayerPawn` → `_player_from_object` runs: fills location, inventory, pawn-state flags, body/hair cosmetics, death timestamps, and `active` from `SavedLastTimeHadController`.
+
+For the richest output, hand `export_players` **both** — assemble a wrapper for each player that carries the `Profile` (for offline identity) *and* the in-world pawn (when present) so the merged record gets identity + live state. The current validation script only passes `Profile` instances, which is why fields like `is_sleeping` / `body_colors` / `current_weapon` show up empty in the validation output even though the parser supports them.
+
+#### `ASV_Players` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `playerid` | legacy | `PlayerDataID` |
+| `steam` | legacy | platform gamertag (`PlatformProfileName` / profile `PlayerName`) |
+| `name` | legacy | in-game character name |
+| `tribeid` | legacy | `TribeId` / `TribeID` |
+| `tribe` | legacy | tribe name |
+| `sex` | legacy | `"Female"` / `"Male"` |
+| `lvl` | legacy | `BaseCharacterLevel + ExtraCharacterLevel` |
+| `lat`, `lon` | legacy | `0.0` (profile/cluster files carry no in-world location) |
+| `hp` .. `craft`, `fort` | legacy | `NumberOfLevelUpPointsApplied[i]` (10 visible stats) |
+| `torp`, `temp` | added | same source, indices legacy never emitted |
+| `active` | legacy | last-active datetime; currently `null` (placeholder for parity) |
+| `ccc` | legacy | `"0 0 0"` (no in-world position from profile/cluster source) |
+| `achievements`, `inventory`, `netAddress` | legacy | reserved arrays/string (currently empty for parity) |
+| `steamid`, `dataFile` | legacy | platform net id and `{steamid}.arkprofile` filename |
+| `active` | legacy (now populated) | ISO 8601 datetime of last login, converted from profile `LastLoginTime` or in-world pawn `SavedLastTimeHadController`. Legacy schema reserved the field but the old C# exporter only filled it for in-world pawns; the parser fills it for profiles too. `null` when neither source is present. |
+| `lat`, `lon`, `ccc` | legacy (now populated) | In-world position when the record was built from a `PlayerPawn` GameObject. Records sourced from profile / cluster files keep the legacy `0` / `"0 0 0"` placeholders since profiles carry no world position. |
+| `inventory` | legacy (now populated) | Items from the pawn's `MyInventoryComponent` when built from an in-world pawn. Empty list otherwise. |
+| `engram_points` | added | `TotalEngramPoints` |
+| `experience` | added | `ExperiencePoints` (status), integer |
+| `is_sleeping`, `is_dead` | added | `bIsSleeping` / `bIsDead` — pawn state flags. Always `false` for profile-sourced records (no pawn). |
+| `is_prone`, `is_crouched`, `hat_hidden` | added | `bIsProne` / `bIsCrouched` / `bHatHidden`. |
+| `current_weapon` | added | `CurrentWeapon` ref — equipped weapon identifier. |
+| `seated_on_ref` | added | `SeatingStructure` ref — what the player is sitting on (chair / saddle). |
+| `original_hair_color` | added | `OriginalHairColor` — color index at character creation. |
+| `head_hair_growth`, `facial_hair_growth` | added | `PercentOfFullHeadHairGrowth` / `PercentOfFullFacialHairGrowth`. |
+| `body_colors` | added | `BodyColors` — per-region skin color indices. |
+| `died_at` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LocalDiedAtTime`. |
+| `corpse_destruction` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `CorpseDestructionTime`. |
+| `chibi_levels` | added | `NumChibiLevelUps` — bonus levels from chibi pets. |
+| `ascensions_scorched` | added | `NumAscensionsScorched` — ASE ascension counter (legacy `ContentPlayer` parses the ASA ascension block differently; this is the ASE-specific field). |
+
+#### `ASV_Tribes` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tribeid` | legacy | `TribeID` / parser `Tribe.tribe_id` |
+| `tribe` | legacy | tribe name |
+| `players` | legacy | member count |
+| `members` | legacy | list of `{ign, lvl, playerid, playername, steamid}`. `lvl` and `steamid` only populate when a matching `.arkprofile` is loaded into `save.profiles` — the `.arktribe` file itself doesn't carry per-member level / platform id, so the parser cross-references by `player_id`. Empty (`""`) when no profile is available for that member. |
+| `tames`, `structures` | legacy | counts derived from `WorldSave` (creatures + structures whose `TargetingTeam` matches) |
+| `uploadedTames` | legacy | reserved (currently `0`) |
+| `active` | legacy | ISO 8601 datetime of the most recent tribe log entry, converted from in-game "Day N, HH:MM:SS" via the save's anchor. `null` when no parseable log entries or anchors are missing. |
+| `dataFile` | legacy | `"{tribeid}.arktribe"` filename pattern. |
+| `owner_id` | added | `OwnerPlayerDataID` / parser `Tribe.owner_player_id` |
+| `owner_name` | added | `OwnerPlayerName` (object form only; parser-tribe form has no equivalent) |
+| `alliance_ids` | added | `TribeAlliances[i]` |
+
+#### `ASV_TribeLogs` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tribeid` | legacy | `TribeID` / `Tribe.tribe_id` |
+| `tribe` | legacy | tribe name |
+| `logs` | legacy | raw `TribeLog` strings (newest-first, formatted by ARK with `Day N, HH:MM:SS: <message>`) |
+
+#### `ASV_Structures` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | added | `GameObject.id` — internal numeric identifier. Cross-references the values in other records' `linked_structures` / `saddle_structures` / `attached_dino_id` lists. |
+| `tribeid` | legacy | `TargetingTeam` |
+| `tribe` | legacy | `OwnerName` |
+| `struct` | legacy | `GameObject.class_name` |
+| `name` | legacy | `BoxName` (empty when it matches the class name, mirroring legacy's no-rename strip) |
+| `locked` | legacy | `bIsPinLocked` or `bIsLocked` |
+| `created` | legacy (richer) | ISO 8601 datetime with the local TZ of the parser machine, computed `save.file_mtime + (OriginalCreationTime - game_time)` (mirrors legacy `ContentContainer.GetApproxDateTimeOf`). `null` when the anchors are missing. |
+| `inventory` | legacy | items from `MyInventoryComponent.InventoryItems` |
+| `lat`, `lon`, `ccc` | legacy | location via `MapConfig`, **rounded to 2 decimals** (parser-only nicety, not legacy parity) |
+| `powered` | added | `bIsPowered` or `bHasFuel` |
+| `switched_on` | added | `bContainerActivated` (lamps / fridges / etc.) |
+| `decay_reset` | added | `bHasResetDecayTime` |
+| `last_ally_in_range_seconds` | added | raw `LastInAllyRangeTime` / `LastInAllyRangeTimeSerialized` / `LastInAllyRangeSerialized` (in-game seconds, float) |
+| `last_ally_in_range` | added | ISO 8601 datetime with local TZ. `null` when the save lacks the anchors. |
+| `painting_id` | added | `UniquePaintingId` |
+| `feeding_inclusions` | added | `FeedingDinoList` class names when `DinoFeedingListType == 1` (ASA feeding troughs) |
+| `feeding_exclusions` | added | `FeedingDinoList` class names when `DinoFeedingListType == 2` |
+| `health` | added | `Health` (often `0.0` because ARK strips live health on save) |
+| `max_health` | added | `MaxHealth` |
+| `owning_player_id`, `owning_player_name` | added | `OwningPlayerID` / `OwningPlayerName` — who placed the structure (distinct from `tribe`, which is the current owning tribe). |
+| `colors` | added | `StructureColors` — list of 6 color region indices (0 = unpainted). |
+| `current_item_count`, `max_item_count` | added | `CurrentItemCount` / `MaxItemCount` — container fullness (e.g. dedicated storage, generators). Both `0` for non-container structures. |
+| `num_bullets` | added | `NumBullets` — loaded ammo count on auto-turrets. `0` for non-turrets. |
+| `range_setting` | added | `RangeSetting` — turret targeting range tier (`0` Low, `1` Med, `2` High, `3` Highest). `0` for non-turrets too — disambiguate via `num_bullets` / `struct`. |
+| `has_fuel` | added | `bHasFuel` — generator / lamp fuel state. |
+| `is_foundation` | added | `bIsFoundation`. |
+| `placement_snapped` | added | `bWasPlacementSnapped` — placement-snap flag. |
+| `variant` | added | `CurrentVariant` — structure variant index (e.g. flexible pipe / gate style). |
+| `selected_resource_class` | added | `SelectedResourceClass` ref — resource type chosen on dedicated storage / similar. |
+| `resource_count` | added | `ResourceCount`. |
+| `dedicated_storage_version` | added | `SavedDedicatedStorageVersion`. |
+| `painting_ref` | added | `PaintingComponent` ref — canvas component identifier when painted. |
+| `saddle_dino_ref`, `attached_dino_id` | added | `SaddleDino` ref + `AttachedToDinoID1/2` combined — links saddle-mounted structures back to their host dino. |
+| `linked_structures` | added | `LinkedStructures` — refs of network-linked structures (pipes / wires / gates → motors). Useful for reconstructing infrastructure topology. |
+| `last_activated` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastActivatedTime`. |
+| `last_deactivated` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastDeactivatedTime`. |
+| `last_fire` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastFireTime` — last turret discharge. |
+| `last_reload` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastLongReloadStartTime`. |
+| `last_fuel_check` | added | ISO 8601 datetime of `LastCheckedFuelTime`. |
+| `pin_code` | added | `CurrentPinCode` — the active PIN code on the structure as a single integer. Falls back to the first non-zero entry of the legacy `CurrentPinCodes` array (always zero on every observed save). Pruned when `0`. **Sensitive credential** — exposed for tribe-admin auditing; downstream UIs should gate this behind admin-only views. |
+
+#### `ASV_MapStructures` schema
+
+| Field | Origin | Source / formula |
+|---|---|---|
+| `struct` | legacy | ASV label assigned by class-name match (e.g. `ASV_Terminal`, `ASV_BeaverDam`, `ASV_Artifact`) |
+| `lat`, `lon`, `ccc` | legacy | location via `MapConfig` |
+| `inventory` | legacy | inventory items (only meaningful for beaver dams / dropped supply crates) |
+
+### Cluster-uploaded creatures
+
+To match the legacy exporter's behaviour of including cluster-uploaded tames (creatures stored in obelisk/cloud-inventory files), pass the cluster directory to `export_all` / `export_to_files`:
+
+```python
+export_to_files(save, "output/", map_config, cluster="path/to/cluster")
+# or equivalently:
+data = export_all(save, map_config, cluster="path/to/cluster")
+# data["ASV_Tamed"] now includes both world tames and cluster uploads.
+```
+
+Pre-loaded `CloudInventory` instances also work (`cluster=[inv1, inv2, ...]`). The low-level helper `export_cluster_uploads(cluster_invs, map_config)` is still available if you need cluster-only output.

+
+### Export Functions
+
+`arkparser.export` produces dicts matching the legacy `ASVExport.exe` schema. Optional `map_config` adds `lat` / `lon` GPS keys.
+
+| Function | Returns | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `export_tamed(save, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_Tamed` records |
+| `export_wild(save, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_Wild` records |
+| `export_players(save, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_Players` records (from Profile parsers) |
+| `export_tribes(save)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_Tribes` records |
+| `export_structures(save, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_Structures` records |
+| `export_tribe_logs(save)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_TribeLogs` records |
+| `export_map_structures(save, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | `ASV_MapStructures` records |
+| `export_all(save, map_config=None)` | `dict[str, list[dict]]` | All seven exports keyed by ASV filename stem |
+| `export_cluster_uploads(cluster_inventories, map_config=None)` | `list[dict]` | Tamed-shape records for creatures stored in cluster `CloudInventory` files (decoded from `ArkTamedDinosData[].DinoData` blobs) |
+| `export_to_files(save, output_dir, map_config=None, wrap=True)` | `list[Path]` | Writes each export to `<dir>/<ASV_Name>.json`. `wrap=True` (default) emits the legacy `{map, day, time, data}` envelope; `wrap=False` writes the flat list |
+
+Schema policy:
+
+- **Legacy keys** (`hp-w`, `ccc`, `dinoid`, `mut-f`, `lat`, `lon`, `tribeid`, etc.) are frozen; they mirror `ASVExport.exe` exactly. They are emitted on every record regardless of value.
+- **Empty parser-added fields are omitted.** Added keys whose value is `None`, `""`, `[]`, `false`, or numeric `0` are dropped from the output (ARK property absence already encodes the default). Consumers must read added fields with `.get(key, default)` rather than expecting the key to exist. Lists like `colors` / `body_colors` / `harvest_resource_levels` are also dropped when every element is zero.
+- **Parser additions** sit alongside the legacy keys with descriptive snake_case names (no `extra_*` prefix). See the per-export schema tables above for the full list.
+- **Stat tokens** are uniform across every export: `hp`, `stam`, `torp`, `oxy`, `food`, `water`, `temp`, `weight`, `melee`, `speed`, `fort`, `craft`. Stat blocks use the suffixes `-w` (wild base, tamed only), `-t` (tamed level-ups), `-m` (mutations); wild creatures and players use the unsuffixed form.
+
+### Map Config (`arkparser.common.map_config`)
+
+| Function | Returns | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `get_map_config(filename)` | `MapConfig` | Lookup by save filename (case-insensitive) |
+| `get_map_config_by_name(name)` | `MapConfig` | Lookup by display name |
+| `list_maps()` | `list[MapConfig]` | All registered map configs |
+
+`MapConfig` methods: `ue_to_lat(y)`, `ue_to_lon(x)`, `ue_to_gps(x, y)`, `ccc_string(x, y, z)`.
+
+### Version Detection (`arkparser.common.version_detection`)
+
+| Function | Returns | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `detect_format(source)` | `ArkFileFormat` | `ASE`, `ASA`, or `UNKNOWN` |
+| `detect_file_type(source)` | `ArkFileType` | `PROFILE`, `TRIBE`, `CLOUD_INVENTORY`, `WORLD_SAVE`, or `UNKNOWN` |
+| `get_save_version(source)` | `int` | Version number (-1 if invalid) |
+
+### Exceptions
+
+| Exception | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `ArkParseError` | Base exception for all parsing errors |
+| `CorruptDataError` | File data appears corrupted or invalid |
+| `UnknownPropertyError` | Unrecognized property type encountered |
+| `UnknownStructError` | Unrecognized struct type encountered |
+| `UnexpectedDataError` | Data doesn't match expected values |
+| `EndOfDataError` | Attempted to read past end of data |
+
+## Format Support
+
+| Feature | ASE (v5-12) | ASA (v13-14+) |
+|---------|-------------|---------------|
+| Vectors | Float (4 bytes) | Double (8 bytes) |
+| Object IDs | Int32 index | 16-byte GUID |
+| Booleans | Int32 | Int16 |
+| World Save | Binary file | SQLite database |
+| Compression | None | zlib + custom RLE |
+
+ASA worldsave property layouts differ between **v13** (`TheIsland_WP` and older single-player saves — legacy `AsaSavegameToolkit`-style `dataSize + position + typeRef + byte` body) and **v14+** (current production ASA — marker-based body). Both are parsed by version-aware property readers; `WorldSave.version` is the source of truth.
+
+## Testing
+
+```powershell
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+python -m pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+Tests live in `tests/`. Byte-level layout tests (`test_v13_property_layouts.py`, `test_binary_reader_layouts.py`) pin the canonical v13/v14 property body byte sequences with no file-fixture dependency. Integration tests (`test_world_save.py`, `test_export.py`, etc.) skip cleanly when their referenced save files are not present under `references/examples/`.
