Attaching a new light and my Satellite explodes!

[alphaprior]

It seems there was a  minor update and the mk-1 illuminator got some new look. But when I attach one of them on my satellite it EXPLODES! Everytime! I restarted the game just in case but my station keeps exploding!

Anyone? This is clearly a bug.

What does the F3 dialog say when this happens?

And are you running any mods?  If so, is this something you can reproduce in stock?

If you have found a bug... best thing to do is to report it on the official bug-tracker site (I just now checked, and I couldn't find such a bug already reported):

• https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/

...and once you've done that, could you share a link here for those of us who may be interested to follow along?

Game is modded yes. I keep all mods updated. And most of them if not all are well known no strange or old mods.
I tried to find the flight results log but there is none. So I just type it myself. Note that this might not be limited to spotlight but anything.
I have Bilkin engineer on EVA, I switch to build mode or press i. Once I attach the spotlight station explodes Bilkin dies along with everyone else in the station.

Flight Recorder: Catastrophic Failure!

- Bilkin Kerman from Kerbin Space Station went on EVA.

- C2 High gain antenna HG-5 collided into PPD-8 'Wharf' station core.

and the list goes long with collisions, structural failures and crashes. 

those 2 parts the antenna and ppd-8 are far away from where I'm attaching the light but disaster seems to start at the attach point. Connected parts break apart and quickly the whole station explodes before I can see anything else.

I've looked further into KSP.log and find some more info:

last line repeats many times until:

the rest seem to be destruction and more destruction 
Not sure but the red line seems like an error to me after that the disaster happens.

Yeah, that kinda sounds like a bug, all right.  Could you log it on their bug tracker, per the above suggestion?  (And post a link here, for those of us who'd like to follow along.)

[alphaprior]

Unfortunatelly it requires different registration from forum.
So I'll post just into the update announcement.

Fair 'nuff... but it's quick to register, and if it doesn't get logged into the bug tracker, it's significantly less likely that the team will take a look at it.

You're running KSP 1.11.1, yes?

@Snark Pretty sure I reported this bug. 

https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/27194

Pity there is no video to show the issue, it could technically be a few bugs all at the same time.

Since this is turning out to be a technical issue, the thread has been moved to modded support.
