Stop enemy Attacks while in the loading screen!

[Ryeknox]

Just lost my  day 164, game. All because I was running from 2 little spiders in the caves while running low on lantern fuel. I decided to go top ground to get back to my base and get another one. I went to the rope, and the loading screen began to progress. Seconds later while in a black loading screen, I hear chomp chomp and Im dead. Right after I die I get an error (on my ps4). When I load up the game again and continue, instead of being brought back to my meat effigy. Im brought back to the exit of cave where I just died. Grabbed half my stuff and tried again for the rope.... Loading screen black, then few seconds  Chomp smash, Dead. Beyond frustrated at this point, since I was trying to get down to the ruins. I wont be attempting that nor have interest in playing this game further. Can't do anything to defend while in a freaking loading screen.

If I remember rightly, caves freeze if you will if you're not in them so if you left a cave with a Terrorbeak about to attack you on the rope, I'm pretty sure that's what you're going to come back to. It sucks but ah well, what can you do?

I recommend using a save backup mechanism to overcome flaws like this rather than enduring rage-suffering.

 

I'm on PS4 and have found a way to ensure I can always undo anything terrible like this (more info upon request). I know the game is a Roguelike (or should I say "Roguelite" since you can save), but there's no point forcing yourself to suffer the agony of wasted hours like this unnecessarily; just have a safety mechanism in place to reload a save after death.

 

I understand the game has perma-death as a design decision, but if perma-death reduces the enjoyment you get from the game then don't suffer it needlessly!
