"Separator Drive"
A week or two ago I found a hilarious bug which makes separators give you thousands out meters per second of velocity.
Here is a demonstration:
Simply two separators and a probe, they must be assembled like this:
A simple setup which weighs only 3.8t
Watch what happens when I activate the top separator
Look at my velocity! 325m/s out of nowhere! This can be scaled up to give a lot more speed.
The only thing changed here is that the separator is adapting to an 8 wide fairing. For some odd reason this enhances the velocity greatly, now watch my velocity again.
604m/s from basically the same mass. This can be scaled up once more to give the most I could get out of the tests I did.
11.7km/s!! All I did was add three of them.
I called this the Fuckatron
You can easily recreate this and test out different designs for yourself, which I encourage because I want to see just how much you can get out of this bug.
Here is a video to show it was 100% vanilla:
I don't know if anyone has seen this before, and if you have please share your experience.

Apparently one factor making them go so fast is that when separators are adapting to something closer to its maximum adaptation it will separate with more force. But still these are very uncertain, with order of parts in the blueprint sometimes affecting results somehow.
I've managed to go faster than 11km/s, funnily by adding mass in some parts
Here's 36km/s
24km/s:

Can give random results but 59km/s is the maximum

Another wacky result, when aiming down I got two separators to sit next to each other and slide into each other, then get shot upwards at high speeds.

So somebody else by the name Se experienced weird atmosphere buggyness as well.
They launch a slightly abnormal looking rocket with a solar panel for some reason, then stage which separates the capsule from the rocket and stage again to activate the parachute. This somehow caused the capsule and separator to break with the parachute by itself spazzing out in the upper atmosphere.
They provided me the bp which has no edited parts in it (I was able to replicate the behavior but only once). Seems like they have been able to get consistencies
Sone of our conversation
