Hi, I have the same issue with all the server Official.
I think the last update messed up a lot of mechanics ingame, on servers already full to the brim with huge base of people who don’t play at all or have colonized with dozen of big bases everywhere.
Probably a complete wipe of the map (maybe even character) could be a healthy solution for the playerbase and server performance.
I’ve tried 5 different servers in 2 days just to make a base somewhere and all the hotspot are complete spam of garbage.

I hate this game for this situation, make a 2 month wipe so you can play and make your big base and enjoy the progress of teh game and other player can have a chanche to build up their own adventure.
