KSP 1 Question/Problem My grounded ship is either exploding or flying away from the surface uncontrollably whenever I load in physics, how do I prevent this?

I am not sure if mods are causing it, but for the sake of transparency I got: Volumetric Clouds v5 (and the mods that came with the pack bought off Patreon), Scatterer, Deferred, Parallax Continued, Waterfall, KSP Community Fixes, Planetshine, TUFX.

Probably either KSP being KSP or parallax collisions

Is there any way to save my craft? How do folks avoid having their vehicles flipping out each time they load physics into the landed ships? I see all these cool pictures of massive planetary bases, surely they are stable and have a workaround to avoid this

You could try turning off parallax collisions by going to ParallaxGlobalSettings.cfg and tweaking the collisionLevel = 2 (default) to 0 (turns all of them off) or 3 or higher to turn off collisions on tiny scatters only.

Parallax could be part of your problem, but this can also happen in stock. Landing legs are a large part of the problem, if the legs are compressed as the craft loads the recoil can launch a vessel of the surface or sometimes cause a collision that destroys the craft. Reducing spring strength can help reduce the the problem, or not using anything with springs in, building a surface base on fuel or ore tanks for example.

When you load into the craft on the mun I think you can probably land it back on its legs with careful control and a bit of luck. Then I'd suggest lowering the spring strength of the legs in the right click menu (advanced tweakables must be enabled)
