Is the Campaign finished/locked-in?

Is this how the Campaign will look on release? Because IMHO there's a huge learning-curve gap between the Tutorial campaign and the New Hope campaign. Was really hoping for a more gradual curve - going from "here's how to build a boiler" to "Build a fully-functional factory with multiple inputs and outputs while under periodic attack" seems like a pretty big leap.

The "repair this busted-up factory" approach is a good-ish idea but I'd rather not be shown a fully laid-out factory, I'd rather build up to it on my own.

I think it's very possible that the campaigns get some more work at some point, though something official would interest me, too
The first campaign seems to be designed at a much earlier point in development. Even some things in the UI function differently than in the second campaign or the main game. It works as simple tutorial so far though, I guess.

The trick I used was looking closely at the constructions the tutorial gives you to work with. That was how I learned to set up electricity. But I know what you mean; some more step-by-step wouldn't hurt for new players.

Yeah, every map of the New Hope campaign jumps significantly. You're expected to trial and error. Figure it out for yourself basically. The first map where u need to automate red and green science took me 2 hours on first playthrough. The second map about 8 hours with both copper/iron trains connected.

They plan, that you can leave the campaign at every point and play some kind of "training-map", one for each aspect of the game. If that is ready with 0.12 is quite questionable.

Yeah, training maps that's the idea! And as I said the "repair this existing - but damaged - layout" approach is a great way to do it. Give us the idea of what it's supposed to look like and let us fill in the gaps. Works great in the New Hope campaign, I could see it working even better with a more extensive Tutorial campaign.
