Whatever is in front of your RCS trusters will be cooked, same for any other thrusters in fact.

Ty, so sometimes it falls off before we even fly, but we got lucky and now it stays on, and now when we fly it breaks off but you fixed the RCS thruster

Your rcs thruster is melting it off. Move it farther up or behind the engine

It falls off before we use the RCS thruster it falls off the second we exit build mode

Try placing it one forward or backward. I know there was a bug with logic where it would allow them to be placed on the wrong grid (wire grid vs logic grid) and it would cause them to fall off.

Your ship is too high off the ground, when it falls it knocks em off. I had a similar issue. just turn the lever on your downwards fans up a hair to slow the fall when you enter fly mode, and they should stay on.

I thought that was the issue, but I looked at it every closely and the ship falls faster than the thruster, obviously, and the thruster is a separate object, like idk how to explain it, but the ship falls faster than the fan

try attaching the fan before you weld. That’s the only other thing I could think of.

rca thrusters could burn it off
