Stamina is fine.

By any objective measure it's not fine. Making player wait all the time for the simplest actions doesn't improve the game in any way, in fact it makes it worse.

For combat, running, fishing etc. the stamina is OK as it's a mechanic with a purpose other than just making players wait.

i dont know - i dont have issues even when farming i can handle the stamina well.
just stuffing stamina foods and here i go no big deal

The change made eating the proper food more important now, the stamina system is fine.

You should never be able to just spam do anything in the game without taking a break.

The stamina makes the game more realistic in a good way. Sometimes realism is bad game design and sometimes its not. It works just fine.

First off make sure you are always rested. Second don't sprint between trees, just walk. I never run out of stamina cutting trees so have no idea what you are doing.

@op Experiment with what food you eat to find the right balance for your play style, Stamina has been buffed not nerfed.

You need to keep the rest buff active. Only takes 30 seconds to get the bonus applied again. Trying to cut wood or level ground doesn't work well without rested buff.

I say keep stamina as it is, it makes for more realism. you have to take your 10 minutes breaks and your 30 minute lunches.

*Anything*? I think there'd be a lot of mod use if walking over flat terrain or moving inventory items around had a stamina cost.

Ah your one of those that takes everything to the extreme to try and prove some sorta point. GL with that.

"For combat, running, fishing etc. the stamina is OK as it's a mechanic with a purpose other than just making players wait."

Other than making players wait for their stamina to regenerate so they can resume combat, running, fishing etc., just what is that purpose?

Those of us who get tired when using hand tools to mine, chop down trees, and farm, both in the game and in real life would really, really like to know.

Stamina combat mechanics would be a lot less harsh and well received if having none just meant reduced effectiveness/power rather than outright just making the player wait. Weaker swings slower run speed etc. Make it feel like a actual choice instead of just locking you out

Be rested, dont be wet, dont be cold, eat 2 stamina food. To sum-up, learn the game mechanics.
