Here's a picture of the pile my colony acquired. Actual madness xD

Can confirm it's the Black ants causing issues, HUGE pile of food under the trashbags, half under the water. By the time I got to it I had gone down from 90fps to 20fps. Barely removed 1/4 of it and already noticing improvements. This must be an issue caused since the most recent update, because I was there on the day of the update, before it updated and there was no food like this here. So this has been compiled since then. Absolute insanity really xD

For some reason I can't see what I type out in response to your quote but either way thanks for testing this out for us, I'll look to do the same to see if I can produce the same results!

Though my previous comment hasn't been approved yet, I tested this issue with a fresh single player game, and it worked flawlessly. No stuttering, no lag, nothing. So as OP suggests, it's likely something such as ants compiling food which eventually just gets to the point where the game can't handle to load of items.

I'm getting this same issue of the stuttering. In a game that requires pinpoint timing for the combat, this sucks so bad. I've had no issues until the most recent patch. I'm nearing End game, done all the major 5 labs, currently trying to build a base on the stones between BBQ and Shed, but it's driving me insane. Feels pretty much unplayable at the moment.
