Dinkum's NEW Stamina System: Broken or Brilliant?

[@TheLotw]

The new stamina system is great, you can get a lot more done during the day and it makes using food something you need to do instead of something is just there.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

This person gets it 🤗

I found the new stamina system a bit confusing at first, but when I wasn't paying attention and realized I didn't pass out, I was sold!! Now I manage things much better, and I love the new system! Eating & cooking now feel more rewarding as well! Thanks for the tips and the smiles!!

It has saving my bank account a fee times.

I liked more the old system where you could just use Wattle Brew and Bottle Brush Brew to everything and sell most of the other foods to Jimmy or Sheila. In the old system you could build massive structures without eating costantly and only needed to care about the power levels of the tools (because if the tool is not the Advanced one it will break).

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Maybe there could be a infinite stamina mod?

[@raine1260]

I love the new system. Once you find the right buffs for you needs, you don't have to stop. I personally find fruit salad (yummy yummy) works just fine for stamina regen will doing daily "chores" and building. When peaceful mode is active I use toffee for the mines. I have yet to run out of stamina with those two.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Glad to hear it!

I have mixed feelings on the new stamina system. I see the reasons for it and how gives more use for farming of food and game play , some difficulty. However it can be very jarring for a newbie and there are some real difficulties already when starting that not sure this helps players stay engaged. I also see for a game that has more of an open sandbox feel than a set quests progressive story line , those who get lost in the pleasure of building, decorating and get a lot of relaxation it now really is a bit painful. Myself this update for me it actually wasn't about the stamina or the items, in fact the lack of story/ town progression. As a long term player who plays with others I love multiplayer and love playing with others but other than decorating my town, gardening like crazy there is no big progression to aim for., I myself have been struggling with boredom prior to the update. I just feel there is no bigger forward focus once you have all your townies in etc...I know many of us get a bit what now...I have so much in license points that i really am not able to use. Helping others etc I have done all that so now I'm a bit ..okay two months use the new items and then Im bored again. Has James got a further story progression planned? I feel like someone like Sally needs a lot more purpose etc On the plus side The new wishing well was great for a lady I play with who has anxiety and finally was able to go in the mines this week for the first time.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

The wishing well ia good. I mix of both harder and easier

Insert link to the first video I saw of the KD Gentlemen here "Do you wipe sitting down or standing up". I love your humour lads

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Love you Benny!

[@mamaheel5]

Cool, I think it's a good thing. There's nothing worse than losing funds and tools for running out of energy.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

We agree 100%! New change is good!

[@rymanora]

Absolutely LOVE this!!! Phenomenal work boys!

[@1ReNa68]

Awesome job guys. This explains the changes really well, and makes the system easy to understand. Personally I love the way it works now, and it encourages us to use more of the skills in later game (farming, hunting, cooking etc). James is a genius. Thank you for the video

[@raptor_watcher9636]

Great video guys!

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Thank you

[@debbos125]

Time for a better spoon gentlemen. Perhaps with a happy face on one side and a frown on the other side? Glad to see you back in Dinkum.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Or a hair brush next time 🤣

[@BeanDrinker]

Hey.. thanks for the great tips guys!

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Always Beandrinker

[@tracyrain4941]

You two are awesome and so funny! Thanks for the 'controversial' opinion. Keep up the good work...😊

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Yeah, we really shocked everyone lol

[@kgeo2686]

So basically Valheim mechanics. Added progression through consumable crafting. I’ve never played this game. Does that seem correct?

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Thats a great comparison i had not thought about.

[@vovasyhin7219]

So how much did James Bendon line your pockets with short change?

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Ha! If you think we get any kickbacks from this sort of thing, then you are truly blind

[@jeraldcastillo3357]

I think the new stamina is better. You have to know how to make the most of it and find some hacks.

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Far more engaging.

[@aktchungrabanio6467]

It's TERRIBLE. Why are developers like that? Changing the core of the game so late into development. UGH!

[@KD_Gentlemen]

We disagree. It i's much better.

[@vovasyhin7219]

I disagree the stamina system sucks, before your food item buffs lasted a whole day instead of 10-30 minutes, you could also perform significantly more actions before you inevitably fainted. Now if you started a new game and decided to chop down a single tree or mine a single stone you loose your entire stamina bar, ALL OF IT! Not even the OG harvest moon was this punishing with its stamina system early game! This updated stamina system changed the game genre from a much more casual animal crossing experience to a hardcore survival game. I don't want to cook & eat every time my stamina runs out, which happens after every single action! This is stupid and unrealistic, this could be remedied by giving us a larger stamina bar or greatly reduce the stamina cost for every single action early game. Late game this is not much of an issue as when you level up your skills you reduce stamina action costs for most skills, but as it stands right now, this system is very not new player friendly, and people will hate it! FIX IT OR MOST NEW PLAYERS WILL GO BACK TO PLAYER OTHER GAMES LIKE: STORY OF SEASONS, STARDEW VALLEY, RUNE FACTORY, MY TIME AT SANDROCK AND EVEN ANIMAL CROSSING. There is also a new games similar to Stardew Valley called "Fields of Mistria", just for the love of god don't bother with any Harvest Moon games post 3DS ERA as they are only Harvest Moon only in name, but are in fact trash!

[@KD_Gentlemen]

🤪

[@elimater661]

new system is very well designed in my opionin

[@KD_Gentlemen]

Agreed
