What this module index covers
A module is a physical part of a ship or station. This page brings the confirmed modules together in one place, with a short statement of what each one does and where the evidence comes from. It includes production, power, logistics, defense and ship systems, plus a few utility modules shown in the official interface.
The available screenshots show some costs and masses, but those values belong to specific development builds and have changed in patches. Rows therefore describe confirmed function, not current power, throughput, damage or capacity unless an official note provides one.
Confirmed modules
Search by module name or use the category filters. Every row includes a source link. Rows remain readable if JavaScript is disabled.

What is missing from the module data
- Complete module footprints, power draw and throughput values.
- Weapon damage, range, rate of fire and shield strength.
- Full container, reactor and thruster tiers.
- Blueprint compatibility rules across demo and Early Access saves.
- A fully exhaustive module list; the public screenshots show only part of the UI.
The safest way to use this page is as a vocabulary and dependency guide. When you open the in-game build menu, read the current tooltip rather than assuming a value from a screenshot is still correct.
For build guidance, see the ship design guide and the factory layout guide. For the technology that unlocks them, use the research database.
