Describe what you would like changed, and why.

Hi, I am new to the game and started to play the game on my iPad. I think it would be really beneficial if there was some sort of control tutorial that explains the hammer, double-arrow and copy-symbol. Yesterday evening I totally missed that there is a menu in the lower left depending on context just because I was holding the iPad there. By now I have bought the game on all platform and iirc I never really played much on android because the controls where not intuitive. Now after maybe a year or two I tried it again and already had a bit more fun therefor and decided to support the game by buying the steam version. Because I really see the potential and guess it could be as much fun as Factorio.
I think by not providing a good control tutorial you block out older players like me, that get easily fed up when their time is wasted. And not providing a text document or an in-game tutorial that explains all basic controls is just that. Of course people want to waste their time with the game, but in a fun way where they are efficient and not wondering what kind of mode it might be when hammer, double-arrow and copy-symbol are selected at the same time.
But who am I to complain about a game that is basically free. I hope you did not get me wrong there is not anger or expectation on my side, I just think even more people would play the game if there was a bit more explanation :)

Describe the changes you want to propose. Include possible alternatives.

Provide an in-game tutorial for basic controls & mechanics or at least a markdown document.
