Hi,
Lag near the Cargo Landing Pad on Gleba — noticeable slowdown when I'm near/looking at it, both in player mode and camera/remote view.
Runs normally elsewhere on Gleba (away from the pad) and on other planets (Fulgora, Vulcanus, Nauvis). No mods installed. Playing solo/single-player.

I've added a video on Streamable showing the lag:

Thanks,

It looks like there is a beefy pile of items on ground. Did you have any cargo landing pad overflow accidents there? Ref 135336 134798

Shouldn't they fan out around the landing pad?

They will, until the ground has been covered in items and then they will start stacking at the 1 point. I'd guess the ones that fanned out were already collected.

Yes, exactly — there were items scattered around the cargo pad before, and I picked them up with my construction bots. I did notice a small square outline, but it looked like an X over the whole pad when I tried to remove it, so I assumed it would destroy the entire landing pad. I didn't realize those items were stacked underneath it. Thanks a lot for the help, I can finally play on Gleba now!

I'd say instead of stacking 90k+ items on one tile, when the dropped items overflow they should stack at either a random tile or sequentially out, trying to avoid being behind entities at all costs.

That is how it works, until it covers a 2x2 chunk area in items then it stops trying to find a spot and puts them at the entity center. The issue as stated is that it should not be dropping cargo pods when the landing pad is full.
