First there was the hp system (which I didn't care for), Now there's the stamina system, which ties into the new food and crops system. IMO, it has had the effect of reducing the ability/desire to explore. Essentially, to get the crops you will need for you and your buds, you're going to have to put in a lot of time staying in one place.

As the cause, the stamina tweaks make the game annoying, but not impossible. The effect, however, is to make it much easier to do nothing but build. Net result: significant change in gameplay. I wonder if the developers really meant to alter the dynamic to that extent.

Where did all the Vikings go? Gone to flowers... and onions, and carrots, etc. Farmers, all of us. Historically accurate, but not much fun.
