HEAVY LAG when trying to place certain items down using the Geometric Placement mod

Also pinecones and turfs

Don't worry, it's not a Geometric Placement issue, it's a Klei issue.

Essentially, the game is deleting the deployable placer and then instantly spawning it again, which also gives the placer a visual shakiness when it's moving around, and causes the insane lag with geometric placement.

Hope to see this issue fixed soon 

--PlayerController.lua

local placer_skin = placer_item.AnimState:GetSkinBuild() --hack that relies on the build name to match the linked skinname
if placer_skin == "" then
	placer_skin = nil --placer_skin becomes nil here.. (this is the new code in the patch)
end
if self.deployplacer ~= nil and (self.deployplacer.prefab ~= placer_name or (self.deployplacer.skinname or "") ~= placer_skin) then --"" is unequal to nil ! The check passes, so the deploy is cancelled
	self:CancelDeployPlacement()
end
if self.deployplacer == nil then --And then it instantly spawns again
	self.deployplacer = SpawnPrefab(placer_name, placer_skin, nil, self.inst.userid )

Thanks for pointing this out and saving me a bunch of time.
