Radial Decoupler Weak?

[Jogostar96]

Hello Folks!

Here's a pic of my rocket:

So, my problem is, that no matter how strong I set the radial decouplers for the orange tanks, it still somehow manages to touch the big engine and thus destroys my rocket.

I tried seperators, make the decoupler stronger with TweakableEverything, but nothing works.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

You are doing everything right. It's a bug of the decouplers.

In this thread there's a solution linked.

Thank you so much.

Works like a charm now.

Assuming that the outer pods are mounted near their empty CoM on the radial decouplers, a single seperatron at the top with the nozzle pointed at the center stack should do the trick.

If they tumble too fast outwards, then you need to adjust the outer pods slightly upwards on the radial decouplers.

And SpaceY has the wonderful double-packed radial decouplers with integrated rockets for pushing the pod well away from the center stack.

just use size 1.5 decouplers

For the seperatron, I tend to mount them aligned to point up and in, so you get both down force and rotation away.  That, or use the spaced decoupler.
