Perfect work buddy... but what do the stats actually mean?

[BeAwesomeInstead]

I am having way too much fun not doing anything with this guy

But what do the stats actually do?

What I kinda expect

Stamina: How long and how much he'll cut
Resting: How quickly he'll recover stamina while resting (but the numbers make me think it might make him rest longer?)
Cutting: How much he cuts
Running: How fast he runs from one patch of grass to the next

Quality: How much each cut is worth
Growth: How fast grass grows back (So would you not want to upgrade this if you want him to be able to clear most of the island?)

I want him to clear around the tree, but he barely keeps the area around the chair clear. I think I need to keep leveling up cutting and stamina for that to happen?

Stamina: each stamina point is a cut
Resting: stamina point per second recovered
Cutting: how much grass gives a single cut
Running: as you said, difficult for me to understand how much it impacts tho
Quality: as i understood is how many cuts before a single grass is depleted
Growth as you said.
But i can't manage to make him cut other areas, by the time he goes to rest the same area has already grown enough, so i stopped upgrading quality and growth just to see him moving more around the island

Stamina (Cut) Number + Rest Number = How Long In Seconds It Takes To Do One Cut And Rest Rotation Before Ropuka Begins New Cut Cycle

Quality Number x Growth Number = Cut (Bush/Grass) Spawns Per Min

Below is a Restatement of past comments

Stamina: each stamina point is a cut
Resting: stamina point per second recovered
Cutting: how much grass gives a single cut
Running: How fast he runs from one patch of grass to the next
Quality: how many cuts before a single grass is depleted
Growth: How fast grass grows back per minute

Stamina - Max energy for ropuka does - Higher = more cuts. But more resting.
Resting - How fast to reach the max stamina. Higher resting = More energy recovered.
Cutting - How much HP is taken from a blade of grass. But more money too.
Running - How fast Ropuka goes to the next thing in his queue.

Quality of Grass - Higher HP per blade of Grass. (70% of the HP is cut ignoring 30%)
Growth - How much HP the grass recovers per minute. (60 Blades of Grass)

He will never deplete the grass as he will always leave 30% of the HP remaining on the grass.
