It’s my first time trying deployed science and I’m really not sure how it’s supposed to work. The first one was really slow, so I deployed a second one (side note: are they supposed to duplicate infinitely? After I deployed the first one, my kerbin returned to the ship and then suddenly there was another one available?). It wasn’t working, so I deployed a second solar panel (same deal with the duplication. I’m sure I only put one on the ship at launch). It still doesn’t seem to be working.

There is a specific order in which to deploy the experiments in order to avoid problems:
- Experiments
- Comms
- Control station
- Power

Then I am not sure about having 2 times the same experiment, specially if it was put there by a duplication bug.
Oh that’s very interesting. I actually haven’t put any coms up yet (I had hoped that a scientist could just collect the science and take it back to a craft with antennae…), but apart from that, that’s actually the exact opposite of the order I did things in. I figured you needed power before anything else could work, so that has to go first, etc. So thanks for that info, I’ll see if it helps.
Hmm. Did you place it with a scientist?

There’s also a proximity thing with the solar panels and control station. That left monitor should be good, but maybe the right one is too far away?
I’ve never had parts duplicate, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you stumbled on some specific bug where that occurs.
Yeah I placed both experiments with a scientist and the control station & power with an engineer.
The guide linked in another comment says the range should be as much as 50 m, so I don’t think range should be the issue? I could try moving it closer though.
I found this forum thread in which someone seems to have experienced exactly the same bug as me, in exactly the same circumstances.
