Some character stats could be buffed/changed IMO

Nothing much to say except work speed and attack are definitely under used compared to stamina, weight and health.

Theoretically they're good, better damage? Great! Better work speed? Neat.
But you're effectively losing a point on weight which I think is by far the most important stat, and stamina which just really helps with all things exploration and combat.

You could argue that you can now reach end game and essentially respec into health/attack/stamina, which ok fair. But then that leaves out work speed, which unless you want to do a playthrough without pals, seems essentially pointless once you get a good number of helpers.

It's not like it's even relevant stuff, heck they're kinda irrelevant hence why I brought it up. Dunno, leave your thoughts on this, it ain't even criticism, I just genuinely think they could be buffed somewhat without much of a drawback.

From my understanding, Attack increase damage done by all equiped weapon to deal damage to enemies, building and ressource.

Meaning, quicker mining and more damage with assault riffle.

Theorically, this would be insane value.
But the scaling isn't that good.
I haven't tested putting 30+ point in attack but with only 5ish point... I was doing like 10-20% increased damage.

You are better of having Vangard Pals in your teams if you want to do the same of what Attack stats does.

On that note... I need to do further test to see if Vangard stack with Mine Forman to do increased damage to node...

Workspeed as a stat is absolutely worthless even without crossbreeding to get an early Anubis - the way crafting is structured is long timers with a Hold to Craft (instead of toggle), which is the common method behind automated crafting (it's annoying trying to do it manually, so let it do the work while you attend to other things), to which your Pals are the automation.

A big issue is that stats don't give much in the way of information, on top of the scaling. +2 Attack per point is ludicrously tiny when you consider you get +50 Weight per Capacity increase. Even Stamina feels a bit undertuned, like it should give 20~50 per level.

Given attack damage is what's attached to your mining pick (and what contributes to mining faster) I'd say they probably stack.
