A stone's throw from my base and lifepod 5 is a cave in the floor of a kelp forest that I have used several times for gathering silver. It recently hit me that since I make frequent trips and can't stay down long before needing more air, I'd pipe some oxygen down from the surface. I made a floating pump and a few sets of pipes and swam over. I was getting 2 to 4 FPS which made it difficult to properly position the pipes. I was also getting attacked regularly by Stalkers and Bleeders (I swear Stalkers have been extra aggressive since the Bones update; wasn't it actually supposed to tone down their aggression during daylight?) and the lag was making it very difficult to fight them off. After getting enough pipes placed, I raided the cave for silver, but decided to go back after I had a few pieces in order to nurse my wounds and avoid losing what precious little ore I had recovered.
After healing up and returning to the spot, as the kelp loaded in (that pop-in I'm basically used to by now) I noticed the pipes were missing beyond about halfway down. I decided to go back and get more pipes, figuring maybe they came loose. I come back to the kelp forest and the only thing left is the pump, no pipes.
This repeated itself several times to varying degrees. Sometimes only the floating pump would be there. Sometimes half the pipes, sometimes all the pipes. One time the missing pipes reappeared after waiting around for a minute or so. Another time this didn't happen, so I settled for rebuilding them.
I had my floating storage boxes near the pod disappear early in my playthrough after venturing to the Floating Island, so I figured maybe it's because they're not vehicles or structures, but then it wouldn't make much sense if you had to redo the pipes every time around now would it? It looks like a loading issue.

I'm fairly certain it was only after I journeyed to the Floating Island. I had saved up resources to use for my base but went for the multipurpose room blueprint. I came back and the boxes I placed under my lifepod were gone. Maybe that was all in one session and I don't remember, but I don't think I pulled the trigger on going to the island until after I had already been playing a while, meaning I'd probably logged off and back on at least once probably more like twice.
Not that it matters much, since I haven't used them in a while. If I start a new game (I didn't for the Bones update like some people might have) I'll probably go for the island as soon as I've got the Sea Glide. I may use an I corridor with some boxes in it as well.
