Now that base terrain deformation is removed, you shouldn't have to skip clearing the batches around your base, so I've removed that part of the batch file. You can find the original version in the spoiler section below, but keep in mind, even if you have an old base that clips through terrain and clearing the cache dumps terrain back inside of it, you can just use the Debug Console command

item 514and spawn in a terraformer, and shift-right-click the terrain out of your base. This way, the caches your base are in stay nice and stutter / crash free (clearing CellsCache) as well as being updated if there's any new terrain changes from Subnautica updates (CompiledOctreesCache).
To use these files, simply:
1) Place a copy of them in the SavedGames\slot00[i]xx[/i] folder (where [i]xx[/i] is the number of the saved game slot you want cleared) and then
2) Run the file:
a) Windows: double-click
b) Mac / Linux, in the terminal:
i) do chmod +x CacheClean_Mac_Linuxv2.sh
ii) do ./CacheClean_Mac_Linuxv2.sh
Windows version:

# To run this file, do chmod +x CacheClean_Mac_Linuxv2.sh then do ./CacheClean_Mac_Linuxv2.sh rm -f *.txt rm -f CellsCache/*.bin rm -f CompiledOctreesCache/*.optoctrees

Alright, only use this if you're comfortable with the current cache cleaning process and know what you're doing.
Basically, the batch file cleans your cache for you and then restores your batch files for your bases, given the condition that you've backed them up, in their respective directories, to \slot000x\bases, so your base batch files should be copied to:
Place this batch file in the top level of your \slot000x directory and double-click to run it.

Here's the contents of the Windows file, followed by the Mac & Linux file, which you can edit (say your bases are in a different folder or something) if you wish by right-clicking and choosing edit:

... Are you saying I need to add more emphasis, a larger font, or both?
Or I could actually put a little more effort into making sure that it's actually running in the Subnautica directory, at the risk of removing functionality for those who installed Subnautica to \my silly pony\my little spaghetti games\
I can do either or both. Thoughts?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess the answer is neither of those things.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to write that up. I'll give it a stab the next time my game starts getting slow.
Please redo the entire batch file, using Comic Sans. Thanks. That always works much better.
Ah, please see this guide.

Hi thanks for this. Just have a question. My save folder does not have a bases folder. I don't have a terrain issue with my base only one foundation. So, using your batch file will cleaar the cache but leave my base in tact?
The reason for doing this is not all of the last update is loading down in the depths and I am getting some glitches.
Check the video if you wish Bugs Ahoy
I should work, it will spit some error messages about there being no such directory as \bases, but the deletion will work, which will cause all your cache files to be rebuilt, so yes, it will work.
Cool I will let you know how it all goes. Thanks again
Right-o, @patrickg1964 could you kindly post your system specs? Use Speccy, and press File > Save As... and save the report as a text file, then attach it here.
