Constant-draw Part	See Part. Constant-draw parts consume resources at all times, unlike Excess-draw components.
Cooling	Cooling is a resource that keeps your mech from overheating. Most parts generate heat and require cooling to operate.
Disassembling	Reducing a component into Spare Parts.
Effect	Effects are special abilities a part has. For some component types there are standard effects that are referenced with a keyword.
Equipment	Attachment Components that aren't weapons. This includes a variety of tools, storage gear, and other bits and bobs.
Excess Resources	See Resources. The amount of each resource remaining for excess-draw components such as attachments.
