Lander decouples from main craft, but is still treated as one craft.

why

I don't ahve an image for this specific issue, but here's something like it:

ignore the popup (f12 screenshot on steam pulled this up), but in this photo, the craft obscured by the popup is accelerating, and is decoupled from the spent lower stage, but is FUSED to it. I've oriented the decoupler correctly and everything. The craft is accelerating, so it should be distancing itself from the spent stage, but NO. It is stuck together.

@prisma pier saw that too. I just used the alternative option under decouplers, that resolved my issue. Whatever there called, destackers or something 🤔, decouplers didn't work at all.

thanks for the tip

Can I ask the order in which you built the couplers. Did you attach the engine then the decoupler or did you attach the decoupler to the tank first? Reason I ask is that I had that problem once but fixed it by attaching to the engine first and the stage to the stack above. That means if I removed the tank below for any reason I had to do reassemble in that same order. I haven't had that problem since.
