Factorio can permanently destroy a graphics card!

Atleast put an option to reliably terminate the startup loading screen.

That thing can often take its sweet time booting up all the sprites and data (especially more so with mods), so having an ability to cancel the startup anytime in general would be a welcome addition.

Always offer the user to cancel out of any lenghty computing operation, thats UI/UX design 101.

I don't think anybody besides you need that feature. I can't think of even one game that has an option to stop the loading! Do you understand that ? NO ONE GAME THAT HAS OPTION TO STOP THE LOADING. If you can give me an reasonable example of one game that has this "feature" of stopping loading of the game i will admit you're right. And i will shut the fck up.

Yep, i'm offensive, i know that. But your attitude pisses me off.

Alt + f4 already works

I run windowed mode and press the X. Revolutionary

It is provided by operating system - any decent one allows to forcefully shutdown programs. Why you keep suggesting to reimplement OS functionality in Factorio? Please stop making suggestion if you are unaware about basic computer-related knowledge like alt + f4 or equivalent.

Also:

Most importantly, the startup loading screen OFFERS NO WAY TO STOP IT.

I know of no game right now that has a "stop loading" button. You would always have to kill the process, or maybe click the X if it's in windowed mode.

What? blasphemy

[Deadlock989]

It's like a proper dark art, pressing X. There is a sealed tome about it in the basement of the British Library but everyone who asks to see it is reported to the government.
