implements	Text	(Optional) The UBIs that the body implements. Any number of these can be used. Each line should have the key “implements” and have a UBI as the value.
finalizeOrbit	Boolean	Whether the orbit of the body should be finalized.
randomMainMenuBody	Boolean	Whether the body should have a chance at being displayed on the Main Menu.
contractWeight	Integer	How often contracts should be generated for a body. Default is 30.

Note on cbNameLater A common usecase for cbNameLater was for mods that replaced Kerbin with another planet, to name it to the correct (non-Kerbin) name after loading if Properties/displayName didn’t work. A new, better way to do this has been added in recent versions:

@Kopernicus_config
{
    %HomeWorldName = CorrectName
}
