Kospy, I originally posted this in the EPL issue tracker, but I believe it's more to do with KAS.

For some reason, the survey stakes are exploding at my base on Minmus. Their not destroying anything, just themselves.

First time it happened, I had dropped the stake on the ground(accidentally), and when I went to grab it, it gave me the option to attach. So I did. Boom. Big boom. No damage to the kerbal or anything else, I figured I shouldn't attach a stake that is laying on the ground without grabbing it first.

The second time is stranger. I had 2 stakes layed out, one origin, one Z+, so I could place base sections in the orientation I wanted. After the module was built, I decided to go on a long eva for more science(I did not move the stakes). On my way back, base loaded just fine when I crossed the 2.5km barrier, and for almost a minute after that. When I got within 200m of the base, both stakes exploded(which is rather spectacular considering their just a metal rod).

I'm not going to post my log file, it's over 2m lines because of an issue with a radiator in interstellar.

For now, I'll just pull stakes after done building.

Cleaning issues not related to the next version of KAS (KAS Grab/Storage will be removed and replaced by KIS).

Related to this is that when you leave physics range, and then return(EVA or flight), pipe ends that are attached to ground pylons shift, and are no longer attaches to the pylon. After reattaching to the pylon and relinking, they work fine. This only seems to apply to they pylons, pipe ends attached to craft do not appear to shift.
