"Skip" button for loading screen

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

"Skip" button for loading screen

Post by FasterJump »

Quite often, Factorio.exe is executed just to change the mod config. Slowest computers can take up to a minute loading sprites. What if we could skip the loading of sprites? We would just need a button (disabled by default in the settings) or a shortcut.

The menu, background, fonts, even the cursor is a sprite. That's simply not possible.

If you're restarting that much and the speed is of concern; reduce the graphics quality from "high" to "normal" and it will reduce how much has to be loaded.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know about the menu sprites. It's still great to be able to play Factorio on my notebook (Intel Pentium N4200), I would have never imagined possible to beat Krastorio on it. It really tells something about how well optimized the game is. I can't wait to enjoy the new HD sprites!
