Idea for Loading Screen

PeteTheLich · Post by **PeteTheLich** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 8:58 pm

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 bland

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.

I have made an animated loading screen.
this includes 45 second animation preview:

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:

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.
