The dust storm on Duna is a bit intense, I couldn't even see the mountains close by. Is it the same all over the planet? If so, is there a way of switching it off or reducing the effect?

Thanks IgorZ.

It looks like I can attach the magnet on the correct side if I extend the winch out first, grab the node and attach it. It's a bit of a pain in space though. I can't attach the magnet to the node direct on top of the winch or below the winch during EVA, I can attach it properly in the VAB.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro. I'll see about making you a save file. Although, you might have missed my second post yesterday -- I've tried the game with just KAS, KIS and MM under a new sandbox save in KSP 1.4.2 (game just updated) and I have module manager 3.0.6 installed. Same results, the magnet only wants to install on the wrong side. I'll see about a save and log file tonight.

I've just tested it again with a new sandbox game only KIS and KAS installed as mods. My game just updated to 1.4.2 and I have module manager 3.0.6 installed. Same results, the magnet only wants to install on the wrong side. Hope this helps in some way. Cheers in advance for any trouble shooting you're able to do.

I don't have the capability to record a video, however I have taken some screenshots of a new sandbox game I made and a quick test on the lanchpad. https://imgur.com/gallery/NOxTM I've tried it upside down and right way up, as my original situtation had a winch pointing upwards as I was working underneath the craft. I do have some other mods installed, but nothing that should affect things like this. You'll notice the last screenshot says the part only has one attach node.

I have the same problem in the latest build of KAS and KSP 1.4.1. I spent about 20 minutes trying to attach a magnet on an EVA, pressing "R" it says it only has one attachment point -- which is apparently the flat side of the magnet, not the attachment point side. Like you, I've found that the magnet can be attached properly in the VAB, unfortunately my build meant I couldn't attach it in the VAB and was hoping to use the EVA to attach it properly.
