Thank you for bringing this issue up Blaze.
As a former (now 32 days ago) newbie I cannot compare this experience to another. On it's own, I found the learning curve to be very steep. I expect most of this is due to the Alpha stage of the game. But in order for the Dev's to keep getting solid feedback, more new players would be nice.
At 8 pages, of topics, it is difficult to glean the information from the "how do I?" section. Yesterday I searched "make brick" - no help. I managed to sort it out by example I.E lay stone. And don't get me started on meta-fibers. Should learning how to make a bow or a bucket require this much effort?
I am impressed with the Unofficial Manual: Chapters 1 and 2. (Big thank you to Dennislp3) I recommend a link to it be placed before the "How do I" topics.
Discovering how to do things should be fun, not frustrating.
