Thanks Andy,
Yeah we had hoped the first section would have worked as a tutorial of sorts, but perhaps it still wasn't communicated well. Originally we had hoped to make it so you could choose the placement of the buildings and what buildings you could place, adding a lot more strategy and initiative for the player, but I think we just overscoped and didn't have time to flesh out much of that at all.
I really appreciate your in-depth feedback and I've made a note of everything. Thanks again <3
