Specific 'Lag' Question

[YetiBacklash]

Something I've noticed recently is my player movement/actions are smooth and normal when I initially log in - then I do stuff elsewhere on the map, come home and sometimes can barely move around. I know things like ceiling light placement can impact this, but in this case time passing for things to load-in doesn't seem to fix the issue. The issue is very obvious when teleporting.

I tried a manual garbage collection to maybe clear memory of whatever part of the map I'd just been in (?) but no effect. Now I've turned off partial loading and so far it seems to suggest some improvement. Any suggestions? Partial loading seems to have some slight impact but doesn't erase the issue, even when just walking up to base on foot (not teleporting). I will say teleporting in general does feel smoother with partial loading off. I messed with the GC selector scale but didn't notice any difference.

To clarify the issue some: It does seem to be very directional in its severity. Looking straight up alleviates the sluggishness drastically. Looking toward hypothetically more cluttered/busy entity concentration does increase severity. But like I said, I have no issues whatsoever when fresh-opening the game and logging in to the base. When I tp away and come back - walking, interacting with entities, etc. is all lethargic or down to a practical standstill at points. Closing the game and reopening seems to immediately rectify the issue. Just looking for whatever setting/setup problem could point to this or some other way to more easily accomplish what's achieved by closing/reopening the game. TY

Oh, and it's not just one base. Got a main base and a farm base and issue occurs at both
