for combat, stamina is fine, but mining a copper deposit isnt very engadging when you sit there and 50% of the time you're just waiting for stamina to come back.

Same with almost any other tool based activity, like building / demolishing / flattening / paving etc.

You ever swing a pick? I have. It's pretty tiring. I have no issue with how they've implemented stamina. It's fine. Eat enough food, and make sure you keep going to a building with a fire to get the rested buff, and don't go out in the rain or at night if you can't handle slower stamina regen due to the debuffs that being wet and/or cold give.
