Gasopod pods causing 2min lag

Bdabest

Got 3 Gasopod's very close to the border of the kelp forest, if not, right on the border of the kelp forest.
I have a Stalker right below them circling around, and due to this the gasopods release id say anywhere from 50 to what feels like 200 gas pods.
When i come near them they all explode simultaneously. This causes my game to lag tremendously.
After the pods disappear, the game goes back to normal.

I've got an i7 with a decent graphics card, so there shouldn't be a problem as the rest of the game play is amazing!
Sadly i cant even access feedback during this so i cant submit from in-game.
I may be speaking out of turn here, but maybe limit the amount of pods they can produce within a certain radius? if that's even what may be causing this.

Epic game love it!!! Can't wait for the proper release!!

I think it has something to do with the balls not exploding when they're a certain distance away but still accumulating. So you get finally close enough for them to trigger and you have a unintended number of gas clouds spawning at the same time. That can force even high end systems on their knees.
