Breaking Ground Parts are the basic science and robotics items for exploration in Kerbal Space Program. As a whole, they compose the building materials the player can choose from in the Vehicle Assembly Building. Breaking Ground Parts are added into five major categories: Aerodynamic, Cargo, Robotics, Science, and Structural. The expansion has 48 parts to choose from (as of version 1.7.3).

Tables of Parts

In the tables are the main properties of the parts. In most cases the tables follows the categorization structure of the game. In case of deviation, the position in part board of the game is noted. Some parts have been made physicsless to improve performance in the game from version 0.23 onwards. These parts behave as if they have no mass and cause no drag, unless they become the root part of a vessel.

Many parts have some resource storing capacity, which makes the mass and the cost different in full and empty state. In this case the full is shown as normal, and the empty values are in round brackets under the full values. Some properties, like the entry cost, are not included, but can be found in the part-box on right side of the part's page.

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 The hinges can be configured to have a reduced torque, in which case their mass and cost are reduced linearly down to the minimum values (given in parentheses). The max. electricity consumption is reduced linearly down to zero.
  2. These values are shown in the game as "kN", but the physically correct unit should be "kn * m". It is unknown whether this is just a misspelling or whether the actual values are wrong.
