An even better explanation is that the game is low-budget (not to be confused with low-quality, which it most certainly isn't). Hence many of the niceties people expect such as well-edited and comprehensive docs, fancy graphics, et cetera ad naseum have to give way to the practical realities of what's most important: spending the devs valuable time making a great game, and then making it better and better by systematically squashing the inevitable bugs.

I honestly don't think the devs are callous enough to take the attitude of "play the game and figure it out for yourself". That's not very friendly, and the devs have amply demonstrated on this forum that they are helpful and friendly.

It's simply a matter of their priorities. Complete docs don't rank high on their list. Of course, we could get into many long discussions on whether that's a good idea or not ... wait, aren't there a gazillion threads on that already? One more isn't useful.
