How does a game like Factorio take so long to load? The game assets themselves are like megabytes. What is it doing?

A comment from the developer on Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/xlufvr/friday_fac...
> The majority of time spent starting the game is preparing the images from disk into a format that the GPU can use. The images on disk being compressed and or not the exact format that GPUs want. Now, what that time on switch is spent on… I don’t know for sure but I would guess something similar.
