Resource Collectors, Craft bots etc cause extreme lag

Issue

As soon as a resource collector, craft bot or any similar item is placed on a creation like a vehicle.
It causes lag just by simply being part of the creation.
At first I thought it was because weight = lag but even when the creation was heavier than it was with the collectors, it was no where near as laggy as with the collectors attached. Something in the game's code is really janky, causing this.

Same goes for the giant vacuum at the trader, simply having a creation on that platform instantly causes extreme amounts of lag, even if the creation is very simple/minimal.

This lag issue genuinely kills most of the fun you can have building cool vehicles in this game because the weight or collectors just turn the game into a slideshow as soon as they're put onto your creation.

I remember this being an issue back when survival first released but it seems to be even worse now and its still somehow not fixed.
