Repeated intro

Hey y'all! It's been one week since we opened the very first alpha build of Swarmdustry and what a week it's been! We have had over 30 people play the game and the feedback had been amazing! I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who's played and reported their feedback. The main takeaway is that the tutorial was a little confusing and clunky, as well as some of the UI is also unintuitive. The priority of the next few weeks will be fixing any major bugs that don't belong in the swarm in addition to tidying up the tutorial experience. Look below for the full patch notes.
