is there a way to reduce loading time ? its like 3 min everytime want to start.

currently use angel and bob mod.

put the game on a faster hard drive or SSD.

What does it spend the time on? Loading sprites?

If so, that means your graphics card can't handle the added textures.

Wow. Answers a question I didn't know I needed to ask. Still, takes a puny fraction of the time it takes for KSP on my system. ...speaking of which, it answers a KSP question as well: Last time I had the Active Memory Management mod (which isn't necessary because KSP finally started supporting 64bit for Windows just before Factorio dropped 32bit support), it took 55 minutes for KSP to load. Not shitting: 55 real life, I-was-looking-at-the-clock minutes. I was using the Active Memory Management mod specifically for DXT5 texture compression. Fortunately, it only has to do that once, and that installation took only eight minutes to load subsequently. ("Only" lulz.)
