Running Factorio from Over 1,000 Floppy Disks Takes About a Week to Load
Maker DocJade developed a custom file system to load the game Factorio from a large collection of floppy disks. Files are split across disks, and the user must manually swap in the disk requested during loading.
With only one drive, swapping disks becomes the main bottleneck. Even after optimizing the system to reduce swaps, loading the game takes about a week.

To start a game, you have to keep swapping floppy disks by hand. The setup has practically become a separate game of its own.
