Fragmentation

Crashes as they are: a craft breaks up from the parts that hit, tanks are crushed and torn open, and the wreck digs into the ground.

• Parts tear: the end that hit is crushed, and a part dragged along the ground has its underside torn away.
• A wreck digs in on soil and scrapes on paving, leaving a trail of its own torn pieces.
• Tanks split before they go up, leaking and alight.
• Heard: grinding, crunches and clangs, metal tearing.
• The ground as the world has it: snow, sand, ice, rock and dust; fuel that stains it and burns as a pool; strikes on the sea.
• Kept in the save, scars, craters and torn parts, after a quickload too.
• Parts from other mods break up as the game's own do, in orbit too.

For KSP 1.12.x. Needs Keystone 0.9 or later. With Volumetric Explosions (not needed) the leaks, fires and smoke are drawn.
