Confirm button after finish loading

I think, it would be nice to have some kind of button or a "press Enter" to start/join a game. Especially when a new game generates, it takes pretty long, so you can go do something else and then be back without wasting valuable daylight.

PSA:  You can also preview a map seed which will generate it without starting a game.

Isn't there a (tutorial?) popup once you start a new game that blocks time in single player?

In multiplayer however blocking time is always a problem, that's why it is not done. Even if you start solo.

However you can use the dedicated server to generate a world. Since no player joins, time will not start ticking. After the world is generated, you can also start it from the game itself (if placed in correct folder) without using the dedicated server anymore.

The tutorial pop up does not pause the game. The only thing that pauses the game is pressing ESC if you are alone in the world.

Doesn't the server confirmation message (or whatever it's called) in serverconfig.xml do this?

Nope. Besides it only works in multiplayer, it does not block time, especially as i already described, because it is multiplayer and blocking time in a multiplayer game always is a bad idea.

Ok, that works. Thanks.
