Colliding bodies do not loose mass as fragment ejecta

Objects do not loose mass from large scale impact events as fragment ejecta, I have run several simulations of large scale collisions between the earth and moon, and the earth does not loose any mass in the form of fragments.

It should be losing mass, I'll test it here to see what's up.

For example, I smashed the moon into the earth, and earth gained 1% mass. Even in collisions at 40+ Kilometers per hour, the impacted body seems to gain mass instead of losing it to debris.

Managed to get in some testing time on this problem. Seems there is indeed a discrepancy in the transferred mass.
I'll add it to the list of confirmed issues. Thanks for the report.

Just out of curiosity, how big is the discrepancy that you found? I dont know the math behind the collisions so I have no Idea how to derive the correct value of mass transference for myself XD.
