Bouncing stuff?!

[CrazyJebGuy]

Help.

I read thread "What are your quirks?" and the OP said he got his fuel into his rockets at kerbin with refineries.

I copied him, so I built a big ass refinery and parachuted it (Jeb approved!) right next to the runway. I got Jeb out and retrieved him. I then launched a capsule with an engineer. I was going to get him out and walk him over, but the refinery WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. It fell down and exploded on the first bounce.

Why is this happening?

Why is my 30 ton refinery trying out for a trampoline?

Pics?

Most likely you clipped some parts into each other and the refinery wanted to perform an explosive disassembly by trying to eject them.

[CrazyJebGuy]

I thought it clipped ground.

Perhaps the structural panels on the bottom were a bad idea.

Edit: The structural panels on the bum were the problem.

Do..do you even need that many parachutes?

[LostOblivion]

HAH! Nice!

(The radiation from that thing must be picked up by geiger counters kilometers away! So many RTGs!)

[Xyphos]

With that many RTGs, you just need a reflective material and you've built yourself an infinite-powered solar sail, ditch the LFO engines.

but really, do you need that many parachutes?

[Thegamer211]

And so many RTG's?

Is your big ass refinery a big refinery for refining ass?

;P

Sorry but not sorry. XD Sometimes stuff interacts with the ground/gravity strangely and if it isn't strutted down well enough it will start shaking and sometimes rip itself apart... Could this be the problem maybe?

It weighs thirty tons. Yes I do. Just enough to bring it down soft.
