I was watching the bar slowly move across the screen and it hit me this would look great with a conveyor belt
example:
Could have it so that it sends a randomly chosen stream of items across the belt for example oil refineries move across the screen as the game loads.
also the loading screen bar is off by TWO ENTIRE PIXELS.

Even better! The rather blank loading screen is crisp but feels blandssilk wrote:... and inserters pick the items from the belts into chests and some construction bots come and built a factory with it.... every time a different one (generated) ...
maybe could have the loading screen (and the title screen maybe?) be like minecraft where it has a world in the background displayed
People could save GIFs and have them play in the background to share with the community their factories.

Idea for Loading Screen
I have made an animated loading screen.
this includes 45 second animation preview:
https://youtu.be/UzRbaNy0rWo
The main Idea is that this video is split into two layers:
Loading bar that can separated
And background animation that constantly repeats while the game loads
BTW there are some wallpapers that I made in similar style, they are here:

Re: Idea for Loading Screen
Factorio takes less than 4 seconds to load on my potato. I really like that. As long as it doesn't take longer i don't care what it looks like.

You've definitely not enough mods, then.eradicator wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 4:02 pm Factorio takes less than 4 seconds to load on my potato.
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!
