Bug #5363
KSP destroys spent stages landed safely on KSC without refunding their value.
100%
Description
Reproduction steps:
- start a career game
- launch a ship with first stage designed to safely land (e.g. use the attached example ship)
- let the stage land safely on KSC, continue flying to sufficient distance
- switch to map view, make sure the first stage is landed on KSC
- take note of your funds balance
- return to space center
- observe the first stage was removed
- check the funds balance has not changed
The game has a feature implemented that cleans up the KSC grounds. This feature decides on each ship whether or not it should be saved. Unsaved ships are reported in log:
[FlightPersistence]: Vessel Tourist Transport IVc Debris not saved because it was debris cluttering up KSC.
Unfortunately the feature interferes with the feature that safely landed parts of a ship can be recovered for a refund.
The KSC cleaning feature (blocking saves of selected ships) should be switched off at least in Career game mode so the player can recover the debris and collect appropriate refunds.

The auto cleanup at KSC does indeed bypass refunds. It happens regardless of the debris persistence setting.
