A nice thing to have

If you sprint/run, run out of stamina and drink some water: you should go back to sprint/run mode.

Also hotkeys for speedchange would be awesome (if they are already implemented and I just haven't found out yet I apologize).

Thanks! :D But may I suggest the + and - keys on numpad? Would make sense to me.

Something else that would be nice would be a shift-option or something when right-clicking on a construction site to have the object being constructed take every item that can be used for that object from your inventory.

All of this has been suggested before. Autospeed & Move/drop all.

The autospeed/drop all suggestions are not at all reasonable. This suggestion is the best way to implement an automatic speed control (provided that the stamina rules remain the same) without it getting more annoying.

What a silly suggestion. 'While you are at developing the game change the hotkeys to suit my preferences please?'
Good humour always leaves someone crying.

Actually your suggestion is a particular poor way of solving the running problem, limited to the case where your running and don't notice your stamina running out. It's fairly easy to drink while running so I don't see this happen much.

I would think the better method is once you select a 'lock' on a level of stamina drain (run for example) the game tries to keep that until you disable the lock. So entering water will walk you until you leave again, and moving onto grasslands or paved areas will put you in sprint. The assumption that you are willing to allow a level of drain is probably a better one than you want to be moving a certain speed. (why would you ever not run on paved land for example, it doesn't drain anything)

i think it might be easier to provide a hotkey specifically for sprint in addition to the normal ctrl+r hotkey that cycles through all speeds

itd be like hitting the turbo/boost button in racing games or using the pegasus boots in legend of zelda
