TL;DR

Tips and tricks should be expanded with players of all level of experiences in mind.

What?

For example, the Quality concept, an addition to 2.0, recieved a detailed explanation in tips and tricks.
Whereas the Productivity concept, which is crucial on Gleba with the biochambers, is left aside.

As I already mentioned, yes to a more forceful tips&tricks about [the productivity effect of biochambers for seed retrieval] :
EDIT :
For maximum impact, it could be a dedicated tips&tricks, which pops up when :
- the player selects one of the two recipes in an assembler (or biochamber), or
- one of two recipes completes, or
- one of the two recipes completes while producing a seed

In general I think Modules deserve a more detailed explanation, they are objectively harder to get both as technology and as concept than the rest of the game. They were mid-endgame in Factorio 1.x, after all.

• Modules
  • Overview : entities that accept them
  • Ghost modules, how to place them.
  • Speed modules
  • Efficiency modules
  • Beacons
• Productivity
  • Overview : effect and limitation on recipes and placement.
  • Productivity modules
  • Biochambers

Military and Defense aspects of the game could use more tips, especially for players that get ravaged by biters on their Nauvis base.

Why?

Explicit is better than implicit. A more complete ingame help system makes the game more accessible and less frustrating.
