Starting with KSP 0.14, the game supports custom part behaviors called Modules. Defining custom behaviors allows you to create totally new kinds of parts, such as flight control computers, new types of fuel supply chains, etc. You can then add these to the game in the form of plugins. These DLLs can be loaded on any platform that can run KSP.

READ THE POSTING GUIDELINES BEFORE PUBLISHING YOUR PLUGIN

Using Part Module Plugins

To use a Part Module Plugin, just drop the DLL into KSP/Plugins. If the folder doesn't exist, you can create it.

• Setting up Visual Studio
• Setting up MonoDevelop
• Setting up SharpDevelop
• Setting up Nant

Now, you can get started.
