5 and a half years later and this bug is still present unfortunately

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!
