Speed loading time by saving the complied game data in memory to the hard drive

[BadOaks]

From what I understand, the majority of the game's loading time is spent parsing part definitions, MM patches (w/mods), and other config files to create a library of Unity objects that make up most of the game's content, a process which is very time-and-CPU-intensive and which has to be done at the start of every play session. If it's possible to do, I think it would make more sense to save the already-compiled game data (or as much of it as possible) to the hard drive after everything is loaded so that it can be re-used for the next play session. Users would only need to rebuild their game data after changing something, such installing or updating a mod, and faster load times would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.

That would put a lot of pressure and work on the hard drive, and you don't want that. Constant read-write instructions would slow down your pc (and shorten the life expectancy of your hdd/ssd) much more than loading everything from already reserved RAM space.

AFAIK this already happens. The game still rescans all .cfg files to verify if anything changes, but if nothing changed, it just loads the cached/compiled versions. Which still takes obscenely long time but shorter than compiling them from scratch.
