Well, I parked the rover and took a picture of it with the Kerbal sitting in it, then the Kerbal moved to the science lab. When I reloaded the game later, I went back to that same station and the rover was gone. As for probe cores, the only one I had was the rover body itself, which I assume is core-like because it lets me drive with no pilot. Granted, it was upside down (silly me), which means I had to land on the Mun manually because all the maneuvers were backwards. To drive it, I had to teach myself that 'S' was forwards. So, yes, it was a very silly rover, but it is the only friend my lone Mun scientist had and so the entire program is pretty upset about losing it.

When I parked the rover, I had no mods. I installed the Kerbal Engineer mod after I noticed the rover was gone. I bought Kerbal from steam and am running the 1.2.2 64-bit version. It's got me afraid to build anymore rovers until I know what I should have done differently. Is it possible to lose it if you don't leave the brakes on or something?

I'm relatively new to KSP, which is odd to say when I have 135 hours into it, but, you know, it's KSP. My most challenging project so far was to build and deploy a rover to the Mun to handle some missions there. Oh, the failures! When I finally got the rover landed, there were some funny problems I had to work through with funny consequences that I wish I had recorded. At the end of the "day", though, the mission was finally accomplished, and I left the rover parked right outside of my Mun base. The next day, though, when I went to pull some science from said Mun base, I saw that the rover was gone. There is no trace of it anywhere. My question is "What happened to the rover?", and, more importantly, "How can I park a rover in a way that keeps it from vanishing?" Thanks!
