Need help with docking

[Parkaboy]

Hello, there!

I've just experienced three frustrating days of playing KSP, because of docking ports not working properly. Basically I'm working on a couple of modular bases, to be assembled by rover, but the problem is that while the assembly works fine while testing at the KSC runway, it almost doesn't work at all on another planet.

I've assembled a base on the surface of the Mun with no dificulty, but while trying to do the second one, more than half of the docking attempts failed, even though I was able to line the ports perfectly. I thought the problem was the docking port I was using (a mod one), but while trying to build a base on Laythe after a long travel, I can't get my rover to dock with ANYTHING.

I can't fihure out what's the problem. The ports are the stock ones, they are attached correctly, line up perfectly, and all the vessels I'm trying to dock have power. I can even put the modules on top of my rover, and they look like they're docked, but they aren't. It's really annoying.

Does anyone know a possible solution for this? Is there a mod that improves how the stock ports dock? I'm not talking about a docking autopilot, since I'm trying to dock on the surface and have no trouble getting the ports in position, just something to make the damn things attach to each other.

Thanks in advance.
