In the tutorial, the objective tree states to gather stone to make a stone furnace. However, the game provides the player a false positive when collecting stone. It says that the objective of gathering stone is complete, only after 1 stone is gathered. This creates ambiguity from the player's point of view, in that it doesn't tell you how much stone to gather. It's a tutorial, so instead of saying, "Mine Stone from the nearby deposit", it should say, "Mine 5 stone from the nearby deposit" and give a x/5 readout so the player knows their progress.

This is for players who have NEVER EVER played before, correct? Then, make that change.

The player should gather this information from the recipe tooltip. In fact i suspect it will work better if they become confused and say "why is one stone not enough?". If it becomes more of a problem then I will look into changing it.

Thanks for the feedback.
