I *love* Factorio\u2014it's one of my favorite games, so this is right up my alley! But I *was* expecting the levels to be little things I could finish or solve instead of just watch. Mouse controls would definitely be appreciated here\u2014especially as a user of a non-QWERTY keyboard, I had to have the help UI on the screen the whole time and be constantly referencing it. I did play around a bit with it and liked how the automation and building felt, though. I could see a lot more fun in this with a more fluid build mode and there's a lot of room for mechanic exploration for sure.
