Dr.Goodbytes Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 So I was messing around in KSP, mostly practicing getting in to orbit and some deorbiting tomfoolery. And after repeated reverts to launch, started to have issues with my rocket hitting some invisible water pipe.What foul magic is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epthelyn Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Smells like foul mod magic.The same thing happened in this thread where the only mod was MechJeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicScientist Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The same thing happened in this thread where the only mod was MechJeb.Well we still haven't heard if this person has MechJeb or other mods installed, you never know, it just might not be a vanilla problem, but then again it might be, which is why we need information!

Whackjob Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hrms! Quite interesting. It's like the collision mesh wanders for the water tower next to the launchpad. I suspect that's what was hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Goodbytes Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 The same thing happened in this thread where the only mod was MechJeb.No mods here!I'm guessing that it was caused by a disgruntled plumber, recently fired from the Kerbal Plumber Program. I think that's the first time I've seen Jeb look worried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corw Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Water pipe is in Kerbal Space Program\KSP_Data\sharedassets10.assets file of the vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sierra Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 To my knowledge, this is a known bug. After a sustained period of time in the flight screen, the pipes collision mesh migrates. I have seen this issue documented in many mission reports of people flying interplanetary SSTOs. Many of them have taken to landing at the island airfield because of it.

pa1983 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) I run stock. I only had mechjeb installed a few times when it happened. So it happens any way. Tough not a problem in 0.21 for me so fare.99.9% I run stock. Clean install and save didnt make a difference in 0.20. Use the windows version under wine in linux.There have been other users reporting it in the K-prize thread to.Its definitely a bug. The ods that people get the same problem from bad hardware, corrupted download etc is small in comparison to the ods of it being a simple bug. Back in 0.20 I could repeat this bug reliably.

I suspect that's what was hit.I once had a ship collide with the Statue (in the pyramid complex in the great desert) while the ship was in orbit... so I believe collision meshes can wander far afield in strange situations.
