HELP!! Mun Surface Glitch

[Dallas_Corbin]

I have just recently been making successful landing attempts on the Mun. All goes well, velocity, speed, landing gear, everything is fine. That is until I try to touch down. The craft just sinks into the Munar surface. Shortly after it is completely submerged, it explodes. I can thrust out if I do so in time. But I cant get the ship to rest on the visible surface. I have dropped a small unmanned rover via skycrane onto the surface, and it was fine. This has just recently come to light as I am just beginning manned landing attempts. Any ideas?

tl;dr: See the surface, fall right through it, boom.

Try a different landing site. The new mun surface probably has quite a few glitchy spots like that, just go a little ways away and you should be fine.

Are you playing with any mods?

It's probably just bad luck like spacetortoise1 said. There will be a few glitches like that but they are rare. I found a spot just like that on Duna where my lander went straight through a hill. Take advantage of the quicksave feature (F9) and use it to go back (F5) when that happens.

Mun has glitchy spots like that, I landed on Duna and the same thing happened to me.

This happends on many planets the Mun is the most visited celestial body in the game world so it shuld have quite a few spots like this. But on the other planets it is quite common when ship get stuck or drown into the terrain, try different landing spot.

Thanks a million guys! I actually did try in a different spot and it was fine. (Not like I was really hitting the same spot twice.) I have found that it happens mostly east of the BIG equatorial crater. Any way, I did it!

Thanks!
