View source for Parts

'''Parts''' are used to build vessels in-game via the [[Vehicle Assembly Building]]. Parts are categorized by family and [[Size|size]]. In [[Exploration Mode]] parts are unlocked for use by [[R&D Center|researching]] them using [[Science]], whereas as in [[Sandbox Mode]] all parts are immediately available for use.

== Organization == 
Parts are separated into different groups based on their functionality. Parts that share a broad general purpose all belong to a category such as engines or utility. Within a category, parts that share more similar functionalities than others are grouped into families such as [[Parts#Methalox_2|methalox engines]] or [[Parts#Parachutes|parachutes]]. In either type of grouping, parts can also be sorted by size.

=== Classifications ===
Each part has additional descriptor called a classification which is used to describe the part's intended purpose. These are purely flavor text and have no effect on the function of a part. Lists of classifications can be found on the respective category pages.
