Description

I recently deployed my first ground science station on Eeloo. Everything was running fine until I decoupled some fuel tanks after takeoff and let them smash back into the ground. Now, I'm getting spammed by this message approximately twice every second:

[DeployedScienceExperiment]: Surface Deployed Seismic Sensor from Eeloo's surface generated 361.3 science.
Sensor Readings affected by Impact Energy: NaN%
Distance Attenuation: 100%
Setup: 100%
361.261 Science Points stored. No connection for transmission.

Seriously, hundreds and hundreds of messages until I turn off the game. When I reload, it starts again after a few moments. I finally just terminated my ground station.

I am seeing a similar error, but it's spamming incredibly small bits of science.

"Surface Deployed Mystery Goo Observations .... transmitted 0.003 Science points back to Kerbin".

Yes it was deployed by a scientist ( level 1, so shows 35% science on the experiment ). The issue is the messages appear every minute. Someone missed a decimal point somewhere in the frequency code for deployed science.

Seeing this only in 1.7.3, did not see it in 1.7.1 / 1.7.2.

There are (at least) two other related bug reports, #23172 about high message rate in general (that includes two potential workarounds, one to turn off deployed science temporarily and one that alters ScienceTimeDelay in persistant.cfg and DeployedScience.cfg) and #22757 about messages increasing when power is lost.

Also, someone in the forums found a way to clear up excessive messages by temporarily turning off Advanced Message Application in the settings:
https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/185093-screen-message-spam-in-breaking-ground/

I'm not sure if leaving Advanced Message Application off would help reduce the messages or not.

I think we can assume that they are working on this and will release a new version when it is (hopefully) fully fixed.
