Kerbal Space Program

More screenshots have been gathered, and can be produced upon request (I do not have a dropbox or other image sharing site account).

I have run across this 'overlapping texture' effect myself in KSP, and in other games. It is generally a sign that two or more parts/objects/surfaces are occupying the same place/location.

I have seen a similar incident mentioned on the forums, where a space plane had its rear section appear off to the side of the craft on the runway. In the SPH, its left wing had the 'overlapping texture' effect. I think it was mentioned that it was likely caused parts being mounted in symmetry on other parts that were also placed via symmetry.

I have encountered similar myself in KSP, on rare occasion, when just setting up radial rockets and then adjusting the symmetry options. In one instance one of the symmetrical groups turned up red as if something was blocking it, even though nothing was in the way. When they finally placed, I noticed one of the radial boosters (fuel tanks and LFE) had the 'overlapping texture' effect on the tank directly connected to the radial decoupler.

I usually just remove and re-attach radial groups when that happens, since I know KSP tends to do weird stuff when parts clip. Up to and including parts 'sticking' to the cursor.

One potentially related example of 'clipping causing weird things', when parts clipping on a section of craft dropped to the side then caused the main section with he command pod to 'stick' to the cursor. On one incident, another section of craft stuck to the cursor, but it happened most often when moving the main section by clicking on the command module. This last example from I think 0.18.x or 0.19.x, but I don't think the issue has been fixed yet.

accidental extra post. Can a moderator please delete this post?

This issue is still occurring in 0.21.+.

Let me know if you need more details/screenshots/crafts.
