Are you running any environmental mods?

No.  Just kOS and HyperEdit (for kOS testing).

Has anyone else been getting this?

I did see something similar but only near anomalies, as far as I remember. Jeb would sink deeper with every step until he fell through the terrain. "[F] Climb" would get him back onto the surface.

(The new Set Position cheat option is great . Thanks!)

Oh, also combining all game generated physics on each part to single part into a single force set before applying it to Unity's slower physics engine should boost performance a little (if you aren't doing this yet.)  

Second, thread out terrain loading onto a helper thread to reduce it's load on the main thread if you aren't doing so already.

Finally, put each vessel and each quad of the planet's surface in it's own layer, and only enable interactions between them if they are close enough to interact within the next half second or so.  Furthermore, place each ship and, if applicable the quad of terrain under it in it's own "krackenbane" virtual space when it's on it's own layer set.  Then integrate them when they are close enough.

Mainsail looks entirely out of character without the orange, or is that a variant?

I can't run a kerbal without them sinking through Kerbin's ground terrain

This was reported and confirmed in version 1.8.0, and noted to be still present in 1.9.0 on the bug-tracker.  No good work-arounds suggested there, yet, except to stop running occasionally as you've said.

The terrain really does look nicer, though, even as we sink into it.

It's now Kerbal Swamp Program.

So finally a real and valid reason to bring a rover along.

Well, EVA kerbals don't have pressure sensors, or thermometers, etc.  So those contracts already were good for rovers even without this problem.

For me it got worse in 1.9.  I am wondering about whether or not the changelog note about altering the kerbals' colliders for ladder reasons might have increased the incidence of the issue.

It's a promo action of Breaking Ground.

"Dislike sinking in ground? Just buy Breaking Ground and use fenestrons!"

I really do hope the Reliant and Swivel get a re-skin like everything else. They look very out of place now and i really dislike the black and yellow stripe on the butt plate. Otherwise great work team, keep it up!

Naw they were a good reason to bring extra fuel and build a fuel mizer lander that can do multiple hops. You can clean Minmus of science with a decently built hopper in the time it'd take you to drive between 2 biomes on Mun.

Breaking Ground's little scanner arms on the other hand are a reason to... Okay fine they're a reason to put wheels on your hopper lander. But that's KIND OF a rover.

Or make a stepper walking by arms.

That would be true in the imaginary version of this game where the only place such contracts exist is on low gravity moons.  But in the actual game, Eve exists.
