yeah it doesnt stop me

yes you fail ALOT more, but you can still get sp(granted its half sp) so it really doesnt stop you.

i also find it more effective to do both mining AND botony(and fishing if there are spear nodes) at the same time to reduce the ammount of travel between nodes(and to just do them all together, you actualy fatigue alot slower when you are doing all 3 since each have their own little timer going)
