GameData:Example

Pages in the Data: namespace are reserved for storing JSON-formatted information on game entities such as parts and celestial bodies. They are accessed and implemented in articles via Template:Data. Subpages of this page provide populated examples of various parts as well as a blank example that lists every usable data set for an entity type.

Example subpages

Data sets

A Data: page contains a wide variety of information relevant to its subject. These elements should follow the order presented below for consistency.

All Data: pages start with the entity element which can be "part", "body", "node", et cetera. The following lists the data sets per entity type defined.

Parts

• name: The name of the part as it appears in-game.
• subtitle: The subtitle of the part as it appears in-game.
• file: The file name, including the extension, of the wiki thumbnail image for the part. Should not include apostrophe, spaces, or periods.
• category: The part’s category, e.g. fuel tank, engine, or utility.
• family: The part’s family, or subcategory, e.g. methalox, stabilizer, or battery.
• mass: The mass of the part, in t.
• size: The size of the part, using the two-character tag per Size labels e.g. SM or LG.
• max_temp: The highest temperature the part can withstand, in K.
• imp_tol: The highest impact velocity the part can withstand, in m/s.
• stores_research: If the part stores the results of science experiments, either true or false.
• resources: What resource(s) can be contained by the part. Units are in t, or U for Electric Charge. Do not include any blank elements.
  • units: The units, per resource, to use for display.
• manufacturer: The in-game manufacturer of the part, e.g. Kerbodyne.
• modules: Each part may have zero or more of the following part modules:

• • command_module
    • crew_required: Minimum number of Kerbals the part needs to function.

• • reaction_wheel
    • torque: How much pitch, roll, and yaw the part can induce, in kN.
    • resources_required: How much electric charge the part needs to use this module, in /s.

• • data_transmitter
    • range
      • units: The units that specify the data transmitter range, e.g., Mm.
      • max: The value of the maximum transmission distance in the units of paired units element.
    • rate: The rate of data transmission, in KiB/s.

• • science_experiment
    • experiment: The name of the experiment type, e.g., "Crew Observation".
    • reports_create: Data and/or sample reports created, true or false each.
    • report_size: Size of the report, in KiB.
    • requirements: Environment conditions necessary to run the experiment.
    • duration: How long the experiment takes to run, in seconds. The {{ExpandTime}} template is typically used to display this in a more readable format.
    • crew_required: If any crew is required to run the experiment, true or false.

• • rcs_thruster
    • max_thrust
      • atm: The maximum thrust at 1atm, in kN.
      • vac: The maximum thrust in vacuum, in kN.
    • isp
      • atm: The I_sp at 1atm, in kN.
      • vac: The I_sp in vacuum, in kN.
    • propellants
      • resources: Individual elements per the resource consumed to generate thrust. Do not include blank elements.
      • units: The units defining the consumption rate of the specified resources. Do not include blank elements.

• • engine
    • mode_name: Name of the engine mode if more than one mode exists. Leave as "" if single-mode.
    • max_thrust
      • atm: The maximum thrust at 1atm, in kN.
      • vac: The maximum thrust in vacuum, in kN.
    • isp
      • atm: The I_sp at 1atm, in kN.
      • vac: The I_sp in vacuum, in kN.
    • propellants
      • resources: Individual elements per the resource consumed to generate thrust. Do not include blank elements.
      • units: The units defining the consumption rate of the specified resources. Do not include blank elements.
    • flags: Any flags noted for the engine as text.
    • alt_mode: Only include for multi-mode engines. This element contains a second collection of the engine elements defined above.

• • engine_gimbal
    • pitch: The value of the pitch the gimbal can generate, in kN.
    • yaw: The value of the yaw the gimbal can generate, in kN.

• • generator
    • outputs
      • electric_charge: The value of the electric charge the generator produces as a number.
      • units: The units of the electric charge the generator produces, e.g. U/s.
    • always_active: If the generator is always active, set to true otherwise set to false.
    • engine_alternator: If the generator is an engine alternator, set to true otherwise set to false.
    • output_decays: If the generator has a decay, include this element.
      • lifetime: Use sub-elements y, d, h, m, & s to define how long the decay occurs over.
