Add language selection to main menu on first run

[Lizzy]

First time you run the game it behaves exactly like the 9999th time. Which isn't bad per se, but, if language is a barrier, the current is state to release this problem is pretty bad:

Main menu -> Options -> Interface -> Huge screen with ~100 words -> manually leave the game and open it again

My reccomendation:

Main menu -> Language (or Language: English) -> Simple screen with ONLY a language list -> OK button that auto-restarts the game

Only on first run! (Or maybe the entire day after the first run?)

At least on Steam you can choose your language before starting it.

Oh that's very good!

I brought this up because I have a friend on a WhatsApp call right now. I'm hearing him stumble with basic problem such as keeping his boilers with coal right now and it feels so endearing and nostalgic.

I directed him to the demo download in the Factorio site. He just got the zip file and ran from it, so there was no opportunity for that. :\

Just in case you didn't know, the demo is on Steam too
