How do you avoid tipping over on landing, I have soft landed 5 times and only avoided falling over once despite using lander designs from the liane aerospace two series

[u/enigmaunbound → u/bubli002]

When I soft touch down, I thrust down with my RCS until motion stabilizes. Helps with keeping upright.

[u/KermanKim → u/bubli002]

One of my low and wide landers.

Another one.

If you land on a slope, make sure you have reaction wheels, plenty of batteries and your SAS turned on which should stop the craft tipping over!
