Any way to Modify Water Buoyancy?

The Alt+F12 debug menu may be worth checking out, specifically the physics tab. You can adjust things like drag and heat convection... so maybe also buoyancy, who knows?

That's the reason I came here to ask. Alt-F12 doesn't have that

Kopernicus mods should allow you to adjust that

I was thinking of that too. However I'm not sure how to go about it. I read up that there was a visual UI but the thread is now gone. Can anyone give specific instructions?

Hmmm, so a while back I added an ocean to Duna...
this was the .cfg... I don't see which value would correspond to the density :/

    Ocean
    {
            maxQuadLengthsPerFrame = 0.03
            minLevel = 2
            maxLevel = 16
            minDetailDistance = 16
            oceanColor = 0.25,0.35,0.35,1
            Material
            {
                colorFromSpace = 0.25,0.35,0.35,1
                color = 0.25,0.35,0.35,1
            }
            FallbackMaterial
            {
                colorFromSpace = 0.25,0.35,0.35,1
                color = 0.25,0.35,0.35,1
            }
            Mods
            {
                AerialPerspectiveMaterial
                {
                    globalDensity = -0.00001
                    heightFalloff = 6.75
                    atmosphereDepth = 150000

                    cameraAtmosAlt = 0
                    heightDensAtViewer = 0
                    enabled = true

                }
                OceanFX

                        waterTex-7 = BUILTIN/sea-water8
                    }
                    framesPerSecond = 1

                    texBlend = 0

                    specColor = 0.55,0.45,0.30,1
                    oceanOpacity = 0.01
                    spaceSurfaceBlend = 0
                    enabled = true
                    order = 200
                }
            }
            Fog
            {
                fogColorEnd = 0.45,0.45,0.45,1
                fogColorStart = 0.45,0.45,0.45,1
                skyColorOpacityBase = 0.5
            }
    }

You can change buoyancy in physics.cfg.Everything is well documented and is patchable with Module Manager.

@PHYSICSGLOBALS
{
@buoyancyScalar = 1.2 // Scalar to buoyancy force
}

 The other method could be to edit parts buoyancy

@PART[*]
{
%buoyancy = 0.2  // You can try negative value or 0
%boundsMultiplier = 0.7
}

The part patch works! Thank You @sebi.zzr!

According to the wiki, the ocean density is defined somewhere:

http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Eve#cite_note-2

Any idea where that is. I also recall hearing that it can be different for different planets...

Sorry,can't help you here.I know about different values for celestial bodies,but probably those values are "hardcoded" and it would be appropriate to ask some more skillful.
