Undocking on the surface of minmus

[ReigningArrow]

Whenever I try to undock on minmus the magnet-pull from the docking ports keep the two craft pulled together. The force seems too powerful to be able to reverse away from it. I really don’t want to use a claw so anyone know how to get around this while still using the docking ports?

Is there any separation between the parts? If not, it sounds like what you're seeing is the classic undocking bug. I don't know if there's a fix for that, unfortunately.

It’s like a strange type of kraken thing sometimes. There isn’t any separation. Also I haven’t come across mention of the classic bug. What is it?

There is a fix for the undocking bug. You cannot undock because the docking ports are in an inconsistent state. You have to edit the save file to fix it. The following steps still apply even though this thread is some years old:

Can you load a save from before the pieces docked?
