I crafted the first assembler then crafted the first electronic circuit, but now I'm left having to make the assembler craft more copper cable (since it can't be hand crafted) then switch the assembler over to crafting electronic circuits once I have enough to make the needed circuits to make another assembler and only then can I have both automated.
It's jarring and possibly confusing for a new player to have to build up the copper cable and then make the circuits using the same assembler. Things that could fix this include:
Allow copper cables to be hand-crafted in the tutorial (haven't seen if they can be during regular gameplay)
Allow electronic circuits to be hand-crafted
Give enough circuits to build two assemblers
