Thank you for the great game!
I'm confused though. I have the drill that makes you go down 2 cells instead of one. My understanding was that it would do it at the cost of one cell. However, I have -2 stamina on a downward push on the first biome (soil) and having 10 in drilling power... ? Same things with having the winterheart thing. In Magma i have -2 stamina still despite being immune to burn?
I'm on Google Chrome if that is relevant and play with the grandpa turtle.
Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
For Viridian Drill, digging 2 cells down instead of 1 is actually intended to be a drawback rather than a benefit. The drill has a high Power value for a relatively low crafting and repair cost, so the tradeoff is that you're forced to dig 2 cells at a time. This makes it harder to precisely target valuable cells. Since you're digging through 2 cells with each input, the -2 stamina cost is expected.
As for Winterheart, the reason you're still using 2 stamina per dig instead of 1 is that Winterheart only makes you immune to Burn, which prevents the extra stamina loss from that status effect. However it also reduces your Power by 1. In your case, it seems like you have just enough Power to dig Magma at a cost of 1 stamina. Equipping Winterheart lowers your Power below that threshold, so each dig costs 2 stamina instead. To get the full benefit of Winterheart, you'll want to have more Power than the Magma requires, so that even after the -1 Power penalty, you're still strong enough to dig it for only 1 stamina (while being immune to Burn).
Hope this helps!
