Feed back from a 11y old kid

Hi
My son saw me play Factorio and wanted to try. I installed the game and let him play with the tutorial. I just want to relate one experience, you may be have a different one.
Overall, he needed quite extra help during the first hour. He didn't understand how to properly use the belts and inserters, he didn't recognize what to do (generally speaking, he has some difficulty with directives). As I played the tutorial myself, I feel he would be quickly overrun when biters attack (I'll add more feedback when he comes to that part). He found the game interesting, but hard and complex.
In the end, I don't feel the need to change the tutorial, because, his age may not be the target player.
As long time player, we don't always realize that Factorio has a quite steep learning curve. There are a lot of things to grasp. I like that
, but we may forget it's can be hard to get in for new players, especially young ones.
Have some kid Factorio experience too ?
