Gravity generator and artificial mass blocks are unoptimized
Reported
For every gravity generator on a grid, every mass block in range is considered, and the force and torque is calculated individually. This is very inefficient, as this could easily lead to exponentially large amounts of calculations.
In real world situations, this manifests as gravity drives using far more of the simulation thread than they have any right to.
This could be optimized, at least for gravity generator on same grid mass block interactions, by caching the blocks in range, and saving a "master" vector for force, and one for torque as well, that are applied every frame to that grid until something changes such that this vector would need to be recalculated.
I have the same bug

I don't know what further screenshots/videos would do to help demonstrate the issue. You can create a wall of artificial mass with a wall of attached gravity generators (100+ of each), and then observe the simulation CPU load.
