How to name your part
Stock part names somewhat follow the following pattern : <type>_<size>_<feature>_<resource>_<cardinal>_<name>
You should always prepend the mod name/mod ID to the part name : <modId>_<type>_<size>_<feature>_<resource>_<cardinal>_<name>
Type
Mandatory.
Possible values: adapter, antenna, booster, cabin, cargobay, dockingport, engine, probe, etc.
Size
Mandatory.
From 0v (XS) to 5v (2X) but could go higher if need be.
See Sizes for a full list.
Possible values: 0v, 1v, 2v, etc.
Feature
Optionnal.
The feature can be anything needed to distinguish this part from a similar part. It usually has to do with the form factor.
Possible values: radial, inline, conical, dish, triangle, etc.
Resource
Optionnal.
This is meant for part that can contain a resource, like engines and fuel tanks.
Possible values: methalox, hydrogen, solid, crew, electricity, xenon
Cardinal
Optionnal.
Useful for distinguishing same-size parts that exists in different heights, like fuel tanks.
Possible values: 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x3, 3x2, etc.
Name
Optionnal.
You can add the part localized name at the end if it helps identifying it more easily.
Example: engine_1v_methalox_terrier
