mining-mod VS cdda-stamina-regen-buff

As for third-party mods, in general you need to look for a mod that has both DDA and BN versions, because for most content the JSON drifts too much for them to be compatible. All of my mods for example have BN and DDA versions where required, as do Noctifer's Cataclysm++ mod and DN's Mining Mod.

Mining Mod by DangerNoodle. Adds random mineral veins underground, bog iron in swamps, black sand deposits near rivers, and the like. Also adds some extra items and recipes that make it actually feasible to bootstrap metalsmithing innawoods without having to hope for a car to bash up or a helicopter crash.

Stamina Regen Balance. Running out of stamina no longer fucks you over in BN like it does in DDA, but there's still an issue with stamina balancing inherited from DDA. Basically, max stamina and the cost for most actions got increased by a large amount back in the day, but stamina regen rate was increased by a MUCH smaller amount, so net stamina regen during mild activities like walking is in a very fragile balance.

Stamina Regen Balance. While BB's handling of low stamina is a lot better than DDA's, it still inherited an annoying disparity between how much stamina costs for actions were increased vs. how much stamina regen rate was increased.
