Bug #1127
Debris Sink Through Minmus "Lakes"
100%
Description
I have found that smaller debris love to fall through the lakes of Minmus. I assume they will reach the middle and just bounce up and down.
Going to the Tracking Station and returning resets the debris onto the surface as per the safety check. They promptly sink again, however.
Marked this as normal priority as it may be an indicator of a bigger problem with terrain at 0m. Possibly fixed by lifting the height of the lakes by 10 meters?

Updated by Hmm, that is a pretty sucky issue. Does it occur with controllable debris? Eg, detached probes.

As far as I can tell from testing it effects anything 1.5m or smaller. Mainly seen with RCS thruster blocks but also 1.5m nose cones and the odd-shaped probe cores in testing. It is definitely single-item debris - any debris that is still together does not fall through the surface.
If you switch to something controllable, any falling debris actually seem to freeze in place and will stay there. Any debris that start falling after the switch will continue to fall until you switch back to a controllable debris.
I can only assume due to the debris size that they clip through the 0m threshold just enough to clip through the collision detection.

When I say "Switch back to a controllable Debris" I meant switching between debris until another controllable, or even the same, is selected again. Be that a single switch or multiple.
