# kenshi-modkit

> kenshi-modkit parses and writes Kenshi .mod and .base files and reads its .save, .zone and .platoon files using Python. Its format notes document filetypes 15–17 and inferred typecodes, while utilities dump records, compare saves, detect mod conflicts and check byte-identical round trips.
