What Debris is around your Space Center?

[MinerEdgar]

Yeah What derbis is around your space center?

Pictures are recommended.

[MinerEdgar]

I have:

An engine mount from a prototype mun rocket.

and

An fuselage from a failed space plane.

[Liowen]

I have bad OCD when it comes to debris on my save, and in some way I think it adds to frame frame issues as that parts are still counted. However I do have a probe around Kerbin called time keeper, it is used to advance the planets for me.

[RocketPilot573]

I don't have any debris around KSC, I don't like the clutter or the lag.

[Brapness]

I used to have a large pile of failed SSTO wreckage at the end of the runway, but I deleted it to reduce lag on take-off

Launch clamps. Any discarded stages end up in Booster Bay.

[MinerEdgar]

Whats Booster Bay?

[Sirrobert]

Whats Booster Bay?

Probably the bay directly east of KSC. That spot is pritty crowded for me to

[Rainbow-Dashie]

That small island off the coast of KSC with the runway is filled with debris. Every plane i build goes on a test run there, every lander makes a test land there, every missile launch system fires at that island, parachute drops, rovers, vehicles, everything is tested on that dang island!

That debris also creates more debris when i try to land a new plane and forget that the last 7 planes are still crashed on the runway...

[FlamedSteak]

I have a few decouplers and structural panels around the place. I did have a couple of totalled rovers around the launch pad but I deleted them off as they we're chewing up FPS when launching big payloads.

[Agent86]

I used to have a buttload of rovers, rover parts, upper stage failed tests, general shrapnel and unexploded bombs around my KSC and on the roofs of buildings. I also had a small museum of my favorite aircraft partially fueled parked on the grassy plains south of KSC, grouped close together. I started a new career save, and haven't rebuilt my museum (or debris field) yet.

The fiery fuselages of the many planes I have crashed while attempting to take to the skies... Jeb might love boosters, but even he shudders every time I approach the hangar.

And booster bay is pretty much a sea of rocket fuel and twisted metal.

[MinerEdgar]

I just wonder how the debris of rocket crashes survive.

[gtmattz]

I put persistent debris on 0 because my pc has enough trouble keeping track of all the live missions in progress (thanks remote tech), that leaving debris around shortly brings my machine to its knees.

[Motokid600]

I get rid of it all as best I can. You can recover every piece that falls back and that's what I do. Im using mission controller extender so im trying to actually properly recycle my spent stages.. doesn't seem to work though.

Around my space center? lol none, I'm too reckless to test things before I use them all my debris either is destroyed, burned up, or in orbit.

[Madrias]

As lenient as I am about Kesslerizing my orbit, KSC stays clean. I hate debris around the space center. Not afraid to leave crafts around where they land if they're non-important ones, but debris gets blasted. In my opinion, there's nothing worse than that spent stage from your failed rocket mission laying in the middle of the runway to frag your spaceplane on takeoff. Or worse, on landing after grabbing precious Science from around Kerbin, waiting in the middle of the runway to destroy all of your precious experiments and kill your pilot.

[Thomas988]

I have zero debris at my KSC. It drives me insane when I know that there is debris somewhere in the universe.

[Wallace]

No debris, I recover all debris that lands on Kerbin.

There used to be a collection of little rovers and things that were around the place, but not on my new save.

[Jon Tash]

The only debris I have at KSC are the launch clamps. I usually delete every debris on the ground. The only debris I leave are the ones orbiting the planet.

[MonkeyFuzz]

Every so often I'll go to the ground control screen and clean out the neighborhood around KSC. I'm not a stickler about it but I do try to tidy it up every few weeks. Debris tends to only collect slowly since most of my designs only really fail a few thousand meters up, meaning that their parts stop rendering before hitting the ground.

Orbital debris I see as a badge of commitment. I would love to reach a Kessler Syndrome-like point, but I'm sure I'm still thousands of parts shy of ever even approaching that. The nearest miss of debris I've had still only came within about 2 kilometers.

My favorite debris are the stages and parts that get flung off into interplanetary space from Mun-shots and other missions, watching them make close passes of such-and-such body only to go careening off to a lonely afterlife.

[Extemporary]

I still have the remnant of Jeb's arrival for training.

[Nibroc]

The ruins of my first two test rovers that were carelessly driven around in order to test suspension etc. Thankfully, they held up and the crashes were due to dodgy landings and crashing into the water.

[Krosulhah]

Wheels. The only surviving bit of most of my planes.

On the nearby runway island i have a plane i accidentally caught on the air control tower.

I'm genuinely surprised it survived.

[Guest]

If we're talking realistically, there is a huge debris landfill on the launchpad. Disposable rockets ftw

However, physically, there is no debris. Framerate, and the fact that I never EVER have launchpad accidents on accident, excluding test runs.
