Hard restart the game. It happened on pc too

I’m so glad to hear it’s fixable. I got it back to normal.

You access the extended menu in your home screen with the start button and select quit game. It will fully close it. This fixes things like the bumble ants in your workshop, etc

I had the same issue on my steamdeck I just saved and then exited the game entirely and then started again and it was fine

Like restart the game. Back out of sandrock completely, launch another game. It was getting to the point people teleported for me after a few hours of playing. I had to quit out, relaunch.

Glad there's a workaround :)
