Yes, the first alpha level introduces too much stuff at the same time and it isn't explained well. We will probably make some peaceful mission where the player will learn basic technology and assembling machine mechanics as prequel to the first mission.

I dont find myself over burden with stuff. The biggest learning curve that I have, understanding the timing and ratios.

Like, I feel there is a lack of feed back in making mining + furance loop that doesn't eventually get bogged down with coal.

I'd love to the ability to turn off the music. This kinda of game for me, is  game that I can play while listening to a book or podcasts.

use another belt for coal

but you may not have the long hand inserter in that level so you have to get creative

It is good idea to use 2 sides of the belt at separately: http://www.factorioforums.com/wiki/index.php/Transport_belt#Using_two_sides

You can turn the music off (Menu->options->Sounds->Ambiente set to 0)

Doesn't everyone just combine their coal and copper/iron into a single belt?

I wish you had an indication about how much time your factories spent "active" or one that told you what the most common resource/component was that factories were missing.

I am trying a new design that plans ahead for when my inital iron/copper/coal deposits run out. Basically the belt just starts in an open area that will lead to easy training around later.

I am also trying to take copper and iron and refine them well away from my main factory, then when they get closer split them into 4 equal belts and then distribute those 1/4 belts as needed.

The game is enjoyable for me.

I am awful at this game. Just awful.
I don't think that building factories while being attacked by annoying monsters is within the range of my skills.

In the beginning maybe, but when creating larger forge areas I need so much that I need 4 lanes of input (so one belt with two lanes of coal, one with two lanes ore).

Play sandbox mode. (or freeplay with lowered/no enemy base amounts)

This game is awesome, but I don't have any money to buy it with. Blah. Is the demo kept up to date with the full version? It would seem so, but I can't tell what the limitations of the demo are.

I've spent many hours playing through this now, and I'm still enjoying it immensely. Each time I succeed (or die), I enjoy starting again and making an even more efficient factory complex

I try to play the game by having everything automated, that I can. I tend not to make anything manually if I have the option of setting up the factory to make it automatically, and I find it really fun to work within this condition.

Tried smelting the iron on the mining spot but the coal logistic was a pain.

Will try if electric smelters gets implemented (ooor i I put the electric furnace mod, but it has stuff I don't like in it)

Electric furnaces are coming in the next (0.6.x) release.

I work in a factory, so I might take a pass on this game, but otherwise it sounds very interesting.

What's the difference between sandbox and freeplay?

Sandbox mode has no player character.
