Bug #9392
Asteroids now spawn with a mass of 150t, regardless of class.
100%
Description
Title says it all. I've tested class E but it seems like others on the forums have tested others.

What do you need? Screenshots? Save files?
For what it's worth, I can offer up into "evidence" my own testimonial -- the three E-class asteroids I've intercepted after upgrading to 1.1 have been exactly 150 tons, which should put them square in the C class. Here are other user testimonials: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/137641-ksp-11-asteroid-mass/
How is this phenomenon being presented?
E-class asteroids appear their expected size, but only mass 150 tons (per the right-click context menu). This low mass is confirmed both by mining (resources are depleted quickly) and maneuverability (the asteroids are much easier to control).
Does it manifest in any particular game type, or all?
I have only played sandbox, so I can vouch for the issue appearing there. I haven't checked other modes, or other classes of asteroid.

Here are images for an A and an E class asteroid. I checked this for most of the asteroid classes on an unmodded 1.1 install (steam win64) in sandbox mode. The spatial dimensions seem correct, but the mass is always 150t. I think the mass is coming directly from the potatoroid config file. The 150t mass plus the vessel mass is shown in the vessel information tab so its not just the right click menu.
The bug is fairly easy to recreate. You just need to track an asteroid and then send a vessel with a claw to catch it and check its mass.

Updated by Can confirm it also happens in career mode. Seems like this should be a pretty easy fix... I would make a mod to fix it but don't want to unless it's going to be a long time before Squad fixes.

Updated by Confirmed as well. Class A asteroid is 150 tons in Career Mode.

Updated by Just for the record, this is still present in 1.1.2 (Linux 64-bit, though I doubt it's a platform-specific issue).
Upgraded the Tracking Station to level 3, got 7 asteroids (1 class B, 3 class C, 1 class D, 2 class E), checked the save file and all had a mass of exactly 150 tons.

In my career game started after 1.1.2 was released I have encountered three asteroids, one each of class A, C, and E. All were exactly 150.00000t

This was listed as fixed in the version 1.1.3 release notes, but unfortunately it's not. I took the same save I tested in my comment above, tracked all untracked asteroids, waited for a new one to spawn, tracked that one (to see its name), checked its mass in the save file, and the mass was exactly 150t despite being class A.

That particular save has grown huge (>7MB), but it's easy to reproduce by starting a new sandbox save and going to the tracking station. I've attached one that gave me a class E with mass = 150.

But did you actually go to the asteroid?
All new asteroids spawn with a 150 ton placeholder mass, and they update when the player enters physics range.
For example here's a roid that appeared in my save today:

Now it's 8.417953 tons and there's a lot more info in the save file.
All this extra data including the final mass is generated procedurally when the roid becomes 'real' in the game, so please have another check, this really is fixed :)

You seem to be correct -- when I got within physics range, the mass changed to about 3300 tons. Thanks for pointing out my error, and sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for double checking, I was sure I tested this before 1.1.3 released, you had me sweating :)
Marking as resolved!
