Nuke Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) are the kerbals using chewing gum as a fastener? Edited February 28, 2023 by Nuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich22 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 It means your vessel build is bugged somewhere: Some part is glitching with a another part, struts connected in a bugged way, accidentally placing a part you didn’t mean to, accidentally clicking through a UI interface, a part that accidentally got flipped the wrong way, parts that are overlapping with one another, it could be anything. If you happen to know what it was, or roughly when in your build it started happening, and you have old saves of the vessel, you can go back to a working version of the vessel and start building from there. If you don’t know when and where the bug happened then you will probably have to start over from scratch. My recommendation is save often as a new workspace name and test often to make sure your craft is not bugged. If it’s bugged then revert to an older save.

Nuke Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) i think it may have something to do with how i was mounting them. attached one to the like diameter xenon tank and it stayed on. before that i was attaching them in arrays using the structural plates and girders, i think this may be an issue with the structural parts (they should be more... structural). im also gonna try rebuilding the ship from scratch. i just didnt have time when i posted the bug. its funny having 20 ion engines just fall off.

Draradech Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Are you using ST-Micro-1 (the smallest cube) to attach something on the surface of something else? Those can cause the craft to fall apart. ST-XS-1 (the next bigger cube) doesn't have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) yea i think so. i built a 5-cluster with the micro cubes and struts, kind of built as a tree with 3 of them around the core. those fell apart a lot or were kraken food. also the small structural panels have the same effect. i was wondering if the colliders on the ion model were bigger than the cubes and would cause them to nudge each other while under part simulation. or perhaps their strength values in their structural config needs to be raised. structure parts should be the strongest parts in game for their respective sizes (stronger than equivalent tankage). bigger cubes would be too big, i ended up using an engine plate and stuck 8 of them on it with the reactor in the middle, that actually worked well.
