Behaviour is added to parts in KSP using modular components called part modules. These are classes which derive from PartModule.
Part modules can be added to a part by editing that part's configuration file. For example, to add a part module called "ModuleName" to a part, the part's configuration file should be edited to include the following before the final closing '}' in the file:
MODULE { name = ModuleName }
The following is an incomplete list of the part modules in KSP as of version 1.0.5.
| Module name | Notes |
|---|---|
| FXModuleAnimateThrottle | Varies the state of an animation based on the current throttle setting. Most commonly used to make rocket engines glow orange when they're running. |
| FXModuleConstrainPosition | Used to automatically position, rotate or constrain movement of a [[1]] relative to another. For example, rotating mounting struts to stay attached to a gimballing engine, or keeping wheel suspension attached to the wheel as it bounces. |
| ModuleAblator | Used for heat shields to provide thermal protection during re-entry. The module consumes the resource named in ablativeResource as it does this (normally Ablator, defined outside the part module). The part's colour is also darkened as ablataiveResource is depleted. |
| ModuleActiveRadiator | Used for radiators to remove heat from the craft at the cost of a named resource, normally ElectricCharge. |
| ModuleAdvancedLandingGear | Unknown. Currently unused. |
| ModuleAerodynamicLift | Unknown. Currently unused. |
| ModuleAeroSurface | Allows toggling to a high-drag mode while activating an animation. Currently used only for the airbrake part. |
| ModuleAlternator | Generates the specified resource, normally ElectricCharge, at a rate dependent on the thrust of an engine module within the same part. |
| ModuleAnalysisResource | Used in the Surface Scanning Module part to provide right-click abundance percentage for the given resourceName, Ore. |
| ModuleAnchoredDecoupler | Used in radial decouplers to detach the part. |
| ModuleAnimateGeneric | Used to toggle animations via right-click menu or action group, for example toggling cockpit lights, engaging thrust reversers, or opening and closing cargo bay doors. |
| ModuleAnimateHeat | Varies the state of an animation based on the part's heat. Used to provide the orange glow on intakes and nose cones as they heat up. |
| ModuleAnimationGroup | Used to play "deploy" and looped "running" animations for parts such as the Convert-O-Tron 250 and the 'Drill-O-Matic' Mining Excavator |

| ModuleEngines | This part module has been made obsolete by ModuleEnginesFX. It provides thrust in exchange for a propellant resource. |
| ModuleEnginesFX | An upgraded version of ModuleEngines which provides support for EFFECTS nodes (particle and sound effects). |
| ModuleEnviroSensor | Provides data in the part's right-click menu in exchange for ElectricCharge. The data displayed is determined by sensorType, which can be TEMP (temperature), GRAV (gravity), ACC (accelleration), or PRES (pressure). |
