On one hand: yes, sure, Dust should have a much more comprehensive introduction.
On the other hand: I figured out literally all of those things for myself without asking anyone, within a week of starting to play Dust (I started last June). Buff basic deductive reasoning and the ability to read before blindly jumping in?

Your question is phrased such that literally however I answer, you will refute my point in one direction or another. Either "you can't expect stupid kids to figure it out, you ageist" or "you can't expect older people to figure it out, you durned kid". By your logic, no one could possibly be expected to figure out how Dust works, and obviously that's not the case.

Buff basic deductive reasoning and the ability to read before blindly jumping in? How old are you? How old are they? Not everybody is as old as you or as young. Unless you're younger than 14... you should be able to solve the majority of those questions by simply looking at everything within the menu, studying it, and potentially applying it. Also, asking such questions in local or other chats isn't too difficult. I remember running out of ammo and not knowing how to get more. Once you know about hives it seems obvious but if you don't, it is not. I didn't have a mic so it took me quite a few games to figure out that some blue glowing things were uplinks and some gave me ammo.
The nanohive minimap icon is pretty clearly an ammunition symbol. If you look in the market, even in the militia section, nanohives list an "ammo resupply rate" stat.
The fact the uplinks, and the uplink symbol, come up on the respawn screen, is a pretty clear indicator of what they do. Similarly, if you look at the market, they clearly reference a spawn time stat.
Not to mention the fact that you could just read the market descriptions of things.
I'm not saying Dust's NPE is good, but... damn, guys, it's just not that hard.
