Building lag - Is it still in the game?

When my friends and I first started playing this game, we didn't realize this, but all of our ground manipulation and huge structures ultimately resulted in us being unable to actually use that area any longer because of the horrendous lag and wait times for things to load.

Is this still a thing? Did this ever get fixed?

Building huge bases and doing a lot of terrain changes will still give you horrendous lag. The "break" limit for me at which the lag becomes noticeable is when the Instances (which you can view when pressing "F2" in game) rise over 8000-ish.

They did an optimization pass on terrain that helped a lot of people. Still an issue in huge places and probably not something that can be fixed.
If your existing world is better or not only you can find out.
To address an old world you will need to run the devcommands to open up the console and use opterrain command to do what it can. Newer worlds after the fix do not need the command run.
