Bug #25019
Can't Walk on Gilly
10%
Description
The game won't allow me to register having walked on the surface of Gilly. In the save file this is recorded as "SurfaceEVA". I've been on Gilly many times, and can see that I have "FlagPlant" for Gilly, but not "SurfaceEVA". Since I don't have this milestone, the game has given me a worlds-first mission for it, but now I can't complete the mission.
I do not have any expansions or mods; I'm playing completely vanilla. (I started this save in 1.8.1 and am now playing 1.9.1.)
This could be related to the other issue of Gilly having too low of a max altitude. I've tried stepping on the lower parts of Gilly, but it hasn't helped so far.
Someone else encountered this problem here: https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalAcademy/comments/8sjj4a/stuck_on_a_contract/
There are workarounds involving editing the save file and using the debug menu to complete the mission which is what I'll do after I try a couple other things.

Eillin is on the surface but I don't see a lander nearby... did you EVA down? The walk-on-the-surface milestone seems to be triggered by disembarking a landed vessel, rather than by actually walking on the surface.
If you cheat the kerbal to the ship, then cheat the ship to the surface and EVA from there, the contract is completed (immediately, before you let go of the hatch ladder). Not an ideal solution with that ship, of course...

ah, yes I used EVA RCS to get to the surface from the orbiting ship. that makes sense, thanks.

I can't remember where it says it but I noticed that one reason I tried this is that the game does recommend doing so. Doing a crew or EVA report or something while in orbit says something like "I bet we could just jetpack down!"
