Hi! I've been working on a level generator for my game, and i've noticed performance issues with my (large amount of) playmaker FSMs:

The vast majority of these accomplished their goal and are just idling, never to be used again; i'm not sure what to do with them, or why they're eating up my performance in the first place!
Sending a 'finish FSM' action doesn't seem to do much, and neither does disabling the FSM via 'enable FSM';
Any tips on how to deal with the situation? Thank you!

If you can, disable or destroy the GameObjects running the FSMs that never needs to run again. Unity has to cycle through all active GameObjects. Even if it takes a very small amount of time, it adds up if you have thousands of them!

Neat, glad to hear it's normal and not some weird bug i stumbled across! I managed to merge all my one-shot fsms into my 'active' fsms, and cut my fsm count to about 1/3 of what it was; it should be manageable for now, and i'll look into some sort of culling system so i can only start them up when needed
Pic related, this is the culprit responsible for those 2k fsms, now happily running a lot more optimally!
