One of the major complaints I have seen about the Switch version of Factorio is the initial loading time is quite long. I found that going into the graphics setting and turning sprites to normal cuts this load time down. Hopefully this helps other Switch players get back to the addicting grind just a little bit quicker! The factory must grow.

Another tip is to install the game on the internal memory, if your SD card is slow. The expected loading time from internal memory, on the second and later runs, is ~75 seconds. If you are getting this, your SD card is fine, if you are getting longer times, your SD card might be slow.
