Drift City/Docking Parts

Docking parts are a new addition to Drift City as of v0.13d available through the new parts crafting feature. With the parts crafting feature, players can take three parts of the same type (such as booster parts) and the same tier (N, S, or H) to the Parts Shop and craft them into a docking part. Seed parts are available in the Drift Shop to craft better S and H docking parts. There are no seed parts available for N docking parts, however.

Use
Docking parts can be equipped by dragging them over an equipped part of the same type and tier. When equipped, docking parts act as enclosures for the equipped part and add additional stat points. Only one docking part can be equipped to a part. Docking parts can be removed by dragging them off of the part they are equipped to. However, H docking parts require a heat treatment kit to remove. Docking parts can also be swapped out for different docking parts by dragging the new docking part onto the desired part. When swapped out for another docking part, H docking parts do not require heat treatment kits to remove.

The stat points that a docking part adds depends on the stat bonus listed on the docking part, the additional stat points listed in purple if any, the letter grade of the docking part, and the base stat of the part that the docking part is equipped onto. Docking parts do not give better bonuses for enhanced parts than unenhanced parts, making perfect-base parts very important to get the full effect of docking parts.

Hidden Docking Stat Chart
Docking parts have letter grades that are assigned upon creation. These letter grades range from A through K. Grade A is the most common, and Grade K is the rarest. Each docking part gives a hidden stat bonus based on the letter grade of the docking part and the base stat of the part the docking part is equipped to. Grade A gives the worst hidden bonus, and Grade K gives the best hidden bonus.
