This is what happens when you end up at 6,000 Tm away from kerbol.

I was on the wiki recently and it said on the page titled 'Interstellar space' that weird things would happen once you reached the 4 Tm mark.

As you can expect, I decided to try and lure the kraken into eating my little RCS driven probe but all I got was a shaky navball...

until I looked at the space center screen.

By the way, this isn't a game breaking bug, closing and reopening the game fixed it.

Well, this is what happened to my space center when doing the same thing:

[Megalodon 720]

Hehe, luring the kraken out can be fun can't it.

[Commissioner Tadpole]

The KSC's integrity has been destroyed! Kerbin is collapsing into itself!

[Mitchz95]

Maybe I shouldn't have launched that interstellar probe after all...

[Jeff Bird]

And the Kraken said, "All your Space Centers are belonging to us!"

[Starwhip]

What causes these weird artifacts to pop up when stuff like this happens? Kerbin/other planets getting destroyed, the video in the OP's post... how can the code create these circumstances? Shouldn't it be impossible?

I do not possess extensive knowledge of KSP code, but given the history of the kraken bashing, my bet is that the game is failing to actualize the new place from where to calculate coordinates when you get out of the far away ship view ... thus it tries to reconstruct the world using the ship as the center. If you are around here for a while you know that the first incarnation of the kraken was caused by the fact that the coordinates and movements were always calculated using Kerbin as the center of the universe and when you got too far/too fast the system went berserk due to the floating point errors , so imagine what happens when you try to reconstruct a planetary surface 6 Tm away

Oh no! We have to find a way to stop the Voyager probes!

Well, this is what happened to my space center when doing the same thing:

Nice, exploiting floating point errors for fun and profit!

I have to try this on a new save...

[Spartwo]

My skybox and planets just disappear.

[pxi]

fwiw i think it might be worth mentioning which client you're using. I wouldn't be too surprised if the float errors are different between 32 bit and 64.

It apparently doesn't get worse if you go on. This is at 120 000 Tm:

It seems to give mixed results, I'm still waiting for the kraken to come out and play.

Perhaps he likes kerbal meat rather than probe metal.

[BarackOshizzle]

GG, you broke the game *claps*

[Torquemadus]

Oh no! We have to find a way to stop the Voyager probes!

Don't be too proud of these technological marvels you call the Voyager probes. History has shown that when ancient space probes travel too far from our solar system, they become the V'Ger Entity. Woe betide any squadrons of Klingon Battlecruisers that stand in their way!

By the way, this isn't a game breaking bug, closing and reopening the game fixed it.

You can also fix this by transmitting lingua code at the correct frequency and rate of speed.
