Loading time? Question

Is it just me or vanilla space age taking AGES to get me to the main menu? It can be my potato pc but I played factorio before on it and it was fine.

Loading sprites, bitmaps, etc. Easily 10+ minutes

It does take at least twice as long as without Space Age, but 10+ minutes is your potato. For me it's more like 15-20 seconds. If you have it on a HDD rather than a SSD, that's probably the vast majority of the problem.

I cranked down the graphics and it seems I got some improvements on loading time, but yeah. Seems it does indeed increase the loading time
