Advice on Hunting in New Urengoy for new players

New citizens will need to acquire either a Dagger Pugio, or a B&V Sieger and ammo, and hunt Slugroaches until they can use larger weapons, and have gained some Avoidance Skills.
Note that it costs approximately twice as much to kill using a Rifle as using Melee, but it is necessary to skill both in order to kill certain types of mob later.
After that, there are currently a mixture of mobs in NU which can be killed, namely Wolves, Slugots, Elslugs, Molesaurs. Avoid anything else, like Bears. You will need a Healkit.
The lowest level of Slugot and Elslug, the Dweebs behave differently in Survival from Alpha; they do not attack, you have to chase them; and they are not resistant to the types of attack listed in Wiki, i.e they can be killed with any type of weapon, though a rifle is easier than melee. Oddly, the Molesaur Dweebs behaviour has not changed, they still attack, and they are still resistant to Acid.
Wolves should not be attacked with Ammo-PC. When pack behaviour is implemented, any nearby Wolves will also attack.
Slugot Weaks must be attacked with Melee or Ammo-E (if available)
Elslug Weaks must be attacked with Melee

Molesaurs should not be attacked with Ammo-PA
Now that Slugroach Corpses can no longer be exchanged for PNotes, if Ammo-E is priced at the same value as other ammo types, this implies a value for Slugroaches of 0.35 AWD per 100 if rocks are 2 AWD per ton, or just 0.20 AWD per 100 if rocks are 4 AWD per ton.
You might want to pick rocks up to just below your weight limit before starting hunting, in case you die, to pay for the cost of the clone.
Take care when hunting Molesaurs if you have been to Turukhansk; you may revive there if you die. Do not go to Norilsk.
