Thanks for the suggestions!
Switching equipment other than headgear underground currently costs 5 stamina, and for footwear specifically, changing them below the surface only affects max stamina, not your current amount. For example, if you're at 100/100 with Leather Boots and switch to Snowboots underground, you'd drop to 95/115.
Auto-switching also gets a bit complicated when multiple tools or footwear share similar bonuses in the future. For example, if two pickaxes both offer +3 Power, the system wouldn't necessarily know which one you'd prefer. So while I really like the idea in principle, it might need some careful design to avoid it becoming confusing or too automated in ways that take choice away from the player.
Still, I've made a note of this and will keep it in mind. It's always helpful to hear how all of you are playing and ways to make the game better, so thanks again! :)
oh i didnt even notice the -5 stamina drop, but now i see there is a trinket to equip that negates that (gilded shift). But 100/100 to 95/115 doesnt bother me too much. I usually go for the green stamina boots all the time anyways.
Similar bonuses are a concern; maybe allow player to set up the auto switching order based on items of their chose. and have a new upgrade that gives you more auto switching slots. like maybe start with 2: player puts copper then iron pickaxe then after another upgrade then they put a drill in etc…
