The tutorial needs to be redone and fixed

The tutorial is very buggy and too particular. I had to skip several because they just didn't work. It also needs to explain a lot more.
I just started and didn't even know how to do the tutorial until other people told me. By that I mean, I didn't even know the tutorial was there as it never really announced itself and hid in the top left corner. it needs to make the player aware of it's presence.
The tutorial also points to things but doesn't tell you how to select those things. Such as, it took me an entire day to figure out that you have to open a UI such as the backpack or the chat to use the icons that the tutorial points to in the bottom right.
Also, in the farming tutorial it says to use the hoe on dirt, and it wouldn't take it. Turned out that I had to actually dig out the grass, place the dirt, and then use the hoe on the dirt. The tutorial then told me to plant at least 9 seeds. I did this several times, and it just didn't work at all. I had to skip the farming tutorial.
The tutorial really just feels like it was rushed and makes it extremely unpleasant to learn how to play. I really hope that the tutorial can be redone and fixed, because a tutorial can really make or break a game, and it really did almost break it for me.

will take a look at improving, thanks for the feedback
goal with the tutorial was to make it helpful but non-obtrusive. Maybe it needs to be a bit more in your face.

John Krajewski thank you so much. I can understand why you eoukd want it to be non-obtrusive. Perhaps the best way to keep it that way and still make the player aware of it’s presence would be to only tell the player about the tutorial being in the top left in the top left, that way they’re made aware of it but aren’t getting constant pop-ups that make the tutorial feel like it’s in the way.
And it doesn’t look like I mentioned it, but the tutorial also needs to explain a few things. The way it currently is, it sort of just expects you to already have an understanding of how the game works.
Thank you so much for your responsiveness!
