In short, the beginning game can be so boring to redo every time you start a new game. I really don't want to put down a miner and a furnace, chop some stone, make more miners and furnaces, set up 4 iron, 2 copper, 4 coal, and one stone furnace then run around refilling them by hand just to get enough resources to build power and make my first factory and a science lab or two every time I play. Allow a user who has played previously the option to skip this stage.I see you've played Factorio before. Would you like to skip ahead?
In practical terms some amount of time will pass instantly. Biters will evolve and grow some percentage. The character then starts with everything needed to start the game with Basic power, mining, smelting, and red science in inventory.
