Bug #28159
Docking crafts on the ground can be displaced/twisted permanently
0%
Description
KSP 1.12.1 + BG + MH
When two crafts dock into each other on the ground and the docking port is slightly off angle it can permanently twist/bend parts within the craft.
Reason is that the craft appears to be pancaked onto the terrain in someway.

After Docking.png shows what the side and rear look like after docking
Before Docking Rear.png and After Docking Rear.png show how severe it is
Warp Dock Angle Bug.sfs is from the pictures, just move the truck into the other truck
Additional Information:
The twisting/displacement was happening in 1.11.2 but it was recoverable to some degree by using timewarp or reloading the scene.
Now because of the new rotating docking ports orgPos and orgRot of all parts are being updated to stressed positions when they should never change in this way.
Therefore a craft once it does this, is now permanently in the warped position even if the docking port is removed.

I believe the displaced/twisted parts is actually because the craft ended up in the terrain, then KSP forced the submerged parts up above the ground instead of moving the entire craft.
