Bug #27323
Staging Cubic octagonal strut
0%
Description
When a module is attached to the main craft via the "Cubic octagonal strut" onto a separator, the module remains frozen and does not react to gravity or other forces. Example: I tried to recreate perseverance and its helicopter. When I attached the helicopter via a Cubic Octagonal Strut to a separator, the helicopter remained frozen. When I attached it via the Small Inline Reaction Wheel, it reacted normally.

Updated by this also affects the octagonal strut
I ran into this bug in kerbin orbit, here's what I found: when you switch to the bugged module, the navball shows 0 orbital velocity, and it begins accellerating with no external forces. if you decouple and then go to the tracking centre, the bugged module has teleported above kerbin's south pole with 0 velocity.

Having this bug with my rover too. If you look at the console in game after decoupling it keeps outputting the same group of text over and over again. Here's a log from my unmodded install.

We can avoid this problem with a Module Manager patch
@PART[*]:HAS[#PhysicsSignificance[1],#attachRules[*,*,1,*,*]] {
@PhysicsSignificance = 0
}
On four parts that could become root parts (FL-A5 adapter, cubic strut, octagonal strut, and BZ-52 radial attachment) but which got special treatment, this removes the special treatment.
'PhysicsSignificance' seems backwards as a name; when it is set to 1 for a part, KSP lumps that part's mass into the parent part, and doesn't simulate physics for the PhysicsSignificance=1 part. For thermometers, that means new players don't need to worry about balancing the mass of every thermometer, which is nice for a game. But I would have expected the structural pieces have their own mass.
