Hunting

Hunting is an important task for most Icarus prospectors. It provides a source of Food Items, but also a number of Resources essential to survival.
==Description==
Prospectors face a number of challenges on Icarus, and several of these can be mitigated with an effective strategy for hunting. For example, Leather is used in a wide range of Deployables, Tools and Weapons, and the only source of leather is the Fauna found on the moon. Prospectors can also obtain a significant &emdash; and renewable &emdash; source of food. 
==Gameplay== 
Most prospectors will employ Stealth and ranged attacks when hunting on Icarus. The benefits are incredible, as the basic Weapons Damage formula shows. Attacking from stealth confers a massive damage increase. Attacking with a Bow also ensures the prospector can remain at a relatively safe distance, and most basic Arrows are relatively cheap to produce. Spears deal an incredible amount of damage, but many prospectors will find them prohibitevly expensive to produce and, unless they unlock the necessary Talent, easy to lose in the wilderness.
