Are there any performance-enhancing mods?
Mods are generally additional load, so no, there are no mods on ficsit.app I've seen that claim to improve performance. The best you can do is reduce your settings, but even that is mostly around graphics. A lot of this game is CPU bound.
You will see a lot of degradation when you're in huge factories where there is a lot in eyeline that needs to be rendered. I've got saves that are hundreds upon hundreds of hours of buildinng, but my build style is many small to mid-sized factories, not megafactories. This seems to help by keeping a lot of what is going on in the game out of sight from any one place.
This approach lets me run everything on Ultra graphics. What are your system specs?

You're referring to Aquila, right? Yes, I'm using probably 10-15 of Aqila's mods and they're stable, he updates them quickly if a patch comes out, but they don't often break due to game updates in the first place. Recommend Aquila's if it suits your purposes because, chances are, it'll be stable and compatible.

Anybody have a link to a Taj's graphical overhaul video? I'm interested to see a comparison video.
I haven't had the guts to load Taj's because it says experimental there be dragons on it. The tweaks above might get you a large portion of the benefits and can be reversed, but I've experienced no reliability issues using them. Nevertheless, I'll wait to see the difference illustrated and want to see the results like OP.

Anybody have a link to a Taj's graphical overhaul video? I'm interested to see a comparison video.
I don't have a link to the comparison video, and the impression I got was that Taj's may do thinks like tweak the models - more than what I'm going to suggest. In any case, there are some config settings you put in engine.ini that really bump up the graphics. I'm running it on a 4080 with a Ryzen 9 5950 and these settings made a dramatic improvement in the look of the game, but had no impact on performance. The settings can be found here:

Will using just Quality of Life (QOL) mods break my game upon Satisfactory updates
If you just close the file without saving and wait for the mod to be updated, then reinstall it before reopening that save, the items will be back.

If you install mods that have buildables, like fancy merger/splitter mods, for example, uninstalling the mod will remove those items from the save when reloaded. This can leave gaps in conveyors. Similarly, I've used Glass Fluid Buffers, and if that is uninstalled, the pipes to them remain but the tank is just gone.

If they only assist with creating vanilla parts, then the worst that will happen is you have to uninstall the mod and wait for the update. Everything on your list above would fit this category except probably Daisy Chain Everything which bumps up the number of connections on machines. That might cause the cables to be disassociated if the mod is uninstalled, but I haven't ever used it so I'm not sure.

There is something about that save, which has a big FICSMAS factory an a lot more MK6 belts that may be causing it.

Thanks for your help. Have a Merry Christmas. FWIW, no change on the same save after reboot, but same mods and an older save, no problems.

The Container screens is an easy test as they'll go away if I uninstall, but come right back when I reinstall.

Shared Personal Storage is another Aquila mod, but that shouldn't need to update except when you add/remove something. That makes the same items available in multiple shared containers.

For containers, I have a warehouse with 800 containers all by itself and it hasn't been a problem to date.

Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to brain-share on what the cause could be. I was looking at SkyUI but had sync off. Just turned it back on without change.

Most of this stuff is QoL, and several are installed but have no buildables in the save and haven't updated lately. Advanced Logistics is a good example. Fire Smoke and Water was recently updated, but no buildables created with it.
