After creating and destroying a large number of space platforms, there is abnormally high CPU usage for "Electric network" despite there no longer being any space platforms. This also increases the size of the save file.

The issue persists across reload and restarting the game. I checked this both on the MacOS build (M2 laptop) and the Windows build.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a new game
2. Open F4 debug menu and enable "show time usage"
3. Create and destroy a large number of space platforms by running this:

Code: Select all

/c
storage.x=0
script.on_nth_tick(1,function()
  storage.x=storage.x+1
  if storage.x > 100000 then return end
  local p = game.forces.player.create_space_platform({name='p'..storage.x,planet='nauvis',starter_pack='space-platform-starter-pack'})
  p.apply_starter_pack()
  p.destroy(10)
end)

4. Observe that "Electric Network" CPU time usage is seemingly linearly increasing
5. Open editor and observe that there are no surfaces aside from Nauvis

Code: Select all

Here's a save file you can open which will have high CPU usage:

Rseding pointed out it might be the global network not getting destroyed. Indeed if I manually destroy it I don't see the same behavior:

Code: Select all

/c
storage.x=0
script.on_nth_tick(1,function()
  storage.x=storage.x+1
  if storage.x > 100000 then return end
  local p = game.forces.player.create_space_platform({name='p'..storage.x,planet='nauvis',starter_pack='space-platform-starter-pack'})
  p.apply_starter_pack()
  p.surface.destroy_global_electric_network()
  p.destroy(10)
end)

Indeed. Fixed for 2.0.29.
