Satellites clipping through fairing and stack separator weird physics

System Info

KSP Version: KSP2 Build ID 10624168

Operating System and version: Windows 11 / Version 22H2

CPU and GPU models: AMD 5800X / NVIDIA RTX 3700 / 32GB RAM

Mods Installed: None

Description of the Bug

Expected Behavior: Things don't clip through a fairing and separators don't act as a spring and instead break under force

Observed Behavior: Using an XS stack separator connecting an XS truss to an ion engine the separator under great force did not break and instead acted as a spring. Additionally the motion this spring behavior made it apparent that a payload can clip through a fairing. I would expect either the fairing or the payload to break instead of this.

Steps to Replicate:

  1. Build craft as described
  2. Fly on a rocket until around 10km where the behavior happens at high speed (unsure why not at low speeds)
  3. Wiggle the rocket a bit

Fixes / Workarounds: MOAR STRUTS
