Hey. So.... I played through the tutorial.
Note: I don't actually like sandbox-type games, and I haven't really played factorio or anything like that.
The tutorial was kind of intense. Like, it was just long. And some of bits of information seemed kind of... There. Like how cores behaved with forces. I'm just not capable of absorbing everything after an hour of reading about the game's mechanics. I would have also liked a couple of exercises thrown in the middle so I could play while I was in the tutorial.
Some of the mechanics I thought were really interesting. Like the wire having decay for example, so the tutorial was engaging to go through. It's definitely packed with mechanics. It's cool.
I didn't have trouble understanding most things I think. I'm a programmer, though, so I'm probably an outlier in how I understood the mechanics. Or maybe not really for people who like these kind of games, idk.
In the end though, I wouldn't play something that doesn't have like a clear objective, so I'm probably not your target audience beyond the tutorial. I just didn't feel like starting to build things by myself after that.
Here's a VOD of me playing through the tutorial, in case it's useful:
