I really wish you could swim down in this game or have the boat be physically there for the items to land on... Also make it so the player can still move when hes exausted please just very slow... and wth happens to the player when he cant climb two inches onto a rock when he is out of stamina? Is there any way to get my iron back besides cheats? I tried raising the ground but it just pushes the metal further away....

Well, it sucks, but I guess games shouldn't always be about our convenience and "simple fun". Sometimes you need to gamble with more care, or not do things just because they feel natural to do.

Just don't treat exhausting as something simple and harmless, and it won't ever happen again. Exhausting is something that kills you in water and kills you in fights.
I always carry Stamina potions around, just in case I'll be caught fighting something nasty. I guess you can also carry stamina potions for just the case.

The best way to fix that, IMO, would be to either boost stamina drain greatly, or prevent player from moving, if he has 2x encumbrance. That won't be handy in certain cases, but at least you won't be tempted doing such silly moves.
