    CUSTOM LOADING SCREEN

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjdF5QTFpoE

    I recently discovered that you could change the loading screen in Space Engineers very easily. Here is a video to help you do the same :). If you have a lower end PC or massive worlds, you might end up staring at this screen for up to 15+ minutes, so why not change it? It's not an obvious feature to mod because it's very subtle, but it looked surprisingly good when I first tried it, so I felt that I had to share :cool:. When you've done it once, you realise that you can easily repeat the process in a couple of minutes. In the future I hope that it will be possible to have a slideshow of pictures in the background while loading.

    If you download the file below, there are some custom loading screens that I prepared earlier using the top 5 of my screenshot competition. All you have to do is put them in the correct folder which is explained in video.

    I hope you enjoy and find it interesting :thumb:!

    Unfortunately, this didn't work. Hopefully it won't be too long until we can have more control over it :).
