Digging clay

[shubla]

Digging ball clay by shift + left clicking does not autodrink when you run out of stamina!
Things like chopping trees etc. autodrink. So why doesnt it autodrink when you dig clay?

[abt79]

because you move around when you shift left click to dig
you can autodrink when walking and autodrink when doing one stationary action, but performing an action that causes your character to walk from place to place automatically (such as digging or mining) inhibits your ability to autodrink.

This isn't a new quirk/feature of autodrinking but I guess one does not gain a practical knowledge of the game itself by spending a majority of one's time conjuring the worst possible suggestions from one's rectum.

So you dont want autodrinking while digging?

Nah, it would be nice. I think the problem is that autodigging with shift click operates the same action as if you were to manually walk from one tile to the next, and since beginning a walk action ends drinking, it’s not possible unless walking doesn’t stop you from drinking (which would be bad) or they make shift-click digging less janky. I’m interested in hearing loftar’s thoughts on the matter though.

1. Shift click clay
2. Character starts digging
3. If it runs out of stamina, drink
4. If it finishes, go back to 2 or move to adjacent tile

Adding the stage 3. does not sound that difficult.
