Companion AI and pathing

I found it difficult at best to interact with my companion, especially while in my base.

If I try to walk up to my companion to access their inventory or tell them to do something, instead of letting me approach, they will start running around like a maniac, it's like trying to catch a leaf in a hurricane.

Even when just moving around in my base doing things or crafting, I can see the name-tag of my companion zipping around like they had too much coffee or something.

When out harvesting resources, I quite often find my companion to step in between me and what I'm trying to harvest, especially during mining, so I hit them instead of the resources I'm trying to gather, forcing me to reposition or move away to get my companion out of the way.

This is an issue that has been around since the launch of the game, and it'c very frustrating when you are trying to gather materials for making gear you need to progress.
