The sandbox posted in this issue related to this post is still legitimate for the issue described in this post and the sandbox related to the bug I posted is also valid.

Both are separate issues, but undocking is involved in both. I really hope the developers can help out in the (un)docking process, also in making it in such a way that docking is more realistic (with something to aim for the docking port).

I really love the game, and although it has some flaws and I had been at the point several times to abandon it and uninstall it (the only other game I did that ever with was some bus simulator game) I refrained from doing so and gave it another shot later. Simplerockets keeps appealing to me and I just really hope that the devs can help out fixing these incredibly annoying issues.

@AlexNL awesome as long as you report those bugs and keep testing . if need be i can always respost your sandbox cause i have it saved but you might have and updated one?

No worries. In the mean time, I changed the space station and now undocking when docking does not happen anymore. A new bug popped up however btw.: approaching the station within 1km undocks a craft from the space station.

So, something in Simple Rockets is definitely not right with this. I have reported this as an official bug, with a sandbox https://www.simplerockets.com/s/Xsv4OQ/ . If anyone would like to try it as well, feel free. Don't forget the reproduction path in the sandbox'es description.

@AlexNL sorry ive been in a bit of a slump lately havent done anything

@SelectAKey Any luck? :)

@SelectAKey Nice, appreciated!

@AlexNL downloading now

No I didn't initially. :) But after you asked for it, I uploaded it right away. Have you tried it?

@AlexNL so no you didnt upload it

Here's the sandbox:
https://www.simplerockets.com/s/SSr7r5/Docking-undocks-other-craft

It's 'Fueler 5' heading for DSI Base Station. It would be really cool if the cause to the issue is known.

did you post the sandbox by any chance?

@AlexNL can always launch everything into orbit all as one piece. but that might prove to be rather frustrating

Yes, so that's why I am also curious about the solution as building a space station is now practically impossible.

@AlexNL very curious

All docking ports where powered. I only unpowered all other command pods as I tried to get a solution for this.

I'd really like to know what's causing the heavy force on the other crafts when I dock. The craft came in slowly, docked 'itself' (no force applied except from the pulling force of the port itself).

@AlexNL without downloading did you make the docking ports active or innert?

@SelectAKey If you mean me, no. :( I really want to know what's going on here.

your kidding right?

Its the KRAKEN!
