Hey there! Im making this post as a report to help potentially fix an issue.
Recently I was getting serious CTD issues on PZ. I would crash when entering a certain area. Similar to Apop issues but deleting the file didnt help. The area was barren and the only thing that was in the area is a field with sheep and alot of sheep poop.
I could only assume that the crashes were related to the ammount of items there. Turning off 3d items didnt help. But finding out that I could make items despawn in the sandbox settings, Ive added animal dung to that list, sheep, cow, chicken, and all that. Ive backed away from the area and after a good few days Ive returned. the dung was all gone nd the crashing has stopped!
Could i be so bold to suggest an improvement to standard PZ settings by making animal dung despawn over an extended amount of time in a future patch? It would help performance, aswell as remove crashing issues like I have had.
Hope this is helpful. Thank you
