Stock part names somewhat follow the following pattern : <code><type>_<size>_<feature>_<resource>_<cardinal>_<name></code>

== 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 height, 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 to identify it easier.

Example: engine_1v_methalox_terrier
