Scatterer Causes Artifacts to appear in engine bells When paired with Restock and Restock Waterfall Expansion #252

Description

@WhiteP42

Mod list:
Scatterer 3:v0.0878
Restock + Restock+
Waterfall

Visual artifacts appear on the engine bells of specific Restock-reskinned engines. The artifacts are present both inside and outside the atmosphere, which suggests the issue is related to Scatterer's camera or depth buffer hooks rather than its atmospheric rendering pipeline. The issue disappears completely when Scatterer is removed, and reappears when it is reinstalled. All other mods remaining the same, Waterfall and Restock work fine together without Scatterer.
Affected engines:
Spark, Terrier, Vector, Skiff, Boar, Skipper, Poodle, Rhino, Mammoth. These are all Restock-reskinned engines. Stock engines not touched by Restock appear unaffected.

Reproduction steps:
Install KSP 1.12.5 clean
Install Restock, Restock+, Waterfall and Scatterer via CKAN
Launch any craft using one of the affected engines
Observe artifacts on engine bell, both in atmosphere and in vacuum

Attempted fixes:
Verified mod versions are mutually compatible
Checked for duplicate Module Manager patches
Deleted and rebuilt Module Manager cache
Toggled all available Scatterer in-game settings including dithering, near clip plane override, terrain shadows, and long-distance shadows
Full clean reinstall of KSP and all mods

None of the above resolved the issue.

Image The artifacts will move in a circle, engines more noticable are Skipper, Vector and Terrier.
