Part modules

Part modules are collections of unique characteristics that influence the behavior and functions of parts. These modules are not present physically but exist in individual parts' data and are represented in-game as capabilities of parts. They can influence resource consumption/generation, thrust, Science, and more.

List of part modules

The following is a list of each part module present in the game.

Command Module
Reaction Wheel
Data Transmitter
Science Experiment
RCS Thruster
Engine
Engine Gimbal
Generator
Resource Intake
Decouple
Docking Port
Wheel
Heat Shield
Solar Panel
Converter
Parachute
Light

All parts also include a default "Statistics" module which defines certain intrinsic properties of a part:

Mass
Max Temp
Impact Tolerance
Research Report Storage Capability
Resource Capacity
