[Dinkum]Complete strategy guide for the middle of the autumn season | Thorough explanation of all facility release order, event reward list, efficient work routine & highly efficient money strategy
Dinkum is a fascinating survival life simulation game set in the Australian outback. You can enjoy everything from cultivating the island to building a town and interacting with the residents, but the autumn season in particular is a turning point in the middle stages. During these 28 days, devices that will greatly increase your work efficiency will be released one after another, and you can obtain a large amount of valuable items through seasonal events. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the foundation you have built up until summer and prepare for the harshness of winter.
This guide details everything from early fall priorities to late-game rare events, including daily routines. It summarizes the necessary materials and rewards for the facility in a table format, and is packed with tips that can be used immediately in actual play. He who controls the fall controls Dinkum.

Characteristics and overall picture of the autumn season: Why does it hold the key to the midfield?
Autumn is a visually beautiful season, with the trees turning red and mushrooms blooming under the trees in the morning. Mushrooms can only be collected in the morning, and each biome has different types (Agaric mushrooms, Slippery Jack mushrooms, Morel mushrooms, Edible mushrooms, Salmon mushrooms), and all have a selling price of 250 dinks. Just collecting this every day will become a stable source of income. In addition, the occurrence of wind is high and the weather can easily change from cloudy to rainy, so it is essential to install a weather station.
The reasons why growth factors are concentrated in the midfield are as follows.
- Facility release rush: Town development facilities such as silos, banks, and wishing fountains will be released.
- Tool Revolution: Chainsaws, jackhammers, and diving helmets increase your work speed by more than 10 times.
- Event festivals: You can get limited items at sky festivals, bug catching competitions, and night markets.
- Expand your exploration: You can secure large quantities of rare ores and items in the Undergrove and Deep Mine.
If you take advantage of these, the island will evolve into another dimension at the end of autumn. On the other hand, if you leave it alone, it will easily get clogged in the winter, so be sure to proceed in a planned manner.

Early autumn (1st to 7th days): Golden rules for securing materials and preparing the workshop
Make it a routine to collect all mushrooms and replenish animal feed from the first day of autumn. We will increase the number of traps to 16 or more and begin full-scale operation of crab cages. Set it up near water 2 squares deep, fill it with bait and target critters or old keys. It is possible to obtain multiple keys in one day, and it is the key to unlocking the Deep Mine.
priority work:
- Workspace preparation: Lay out a cement path and arrange create tables and product boards. Visualizing items increases storage efficiency.
- Ore generator (re-local) installation: Generates random ore rocks every day. Placing more than one will stabilize your resources.
- Paddy cultivation: Plant rice seeds in shallow water (1 square of water). Agriculture will be revolutionized with no need for watering.
Daily routine example:
- Morning: Collect mushrooms, feed animals, and collect crab cages.
- Daytime: Mine exploration (securing iron ore), logging and mining.
- Evening: Preparing for the event and preparing birthday presents.
This will solidify your early foundation.
Timing of Franklin's invention: A divine tool that dramatically changes work efficiency
Once the Franklin Institute is released, we will give priority to inventions immediately. Infinitely extend the durability of your tools with repair tables and charging stations.
List of must-have inventions (excerpts of required materials):
| invention | effect | Examples of required materials | Estimated release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| dirt printer | Earth mounding (filling and height adjustment) is possible. | iron related materials | Days 2-7 |
| compressor | Ground leveling (field/town leveling) is possible | Be careful about durability, charging is required | Same as above |
| weather station | Weather forecast for the next day is possible | Immediate production at the beginning | early stage |
| chainsaw | It is possible to speed up felling | Old gear x 2, iron bar x 8, Dink 100,000 | midfield |
| jackhammer | All mining speeds can be increased | Old spring x5, iron bar x8, Dink 100,000 | Same as above |
These will reduce the work time to 1/10. When the battery runs out, it will move to a charging station.
Animal facility upgrade: Automate feed management with silos
Small animal houses and silos will be unlocked with licenses from the third day of autumn onwards. The silo automatically replenishes bait in an 18×18 area (up to 200 pieces), making management very easy. Animal productivity skyrockets and income becomes stable.
Full-fledged mine exploration: Underglobe & Deep Mine strategy
under glove: There is a large amount of iron ore. Be careful of caterpillars.
deep mine: You can get a glider, a glowing helmet, and a guitar (tested by petting an animal). A glowing helmet is a must in the dark.
Collect old keys in the crab basket and proceed to the depths. You can clear it quickly with Jackhammer.
Sky Festival Complete Guide: Ticket Efficient Collecting Techniques
It will be held on the outdoor stage from 11am on the 8th. Get a kite kit → make a kite → shoot a lantern at 3pm to get a ticket. It is efficient to become proficient at aiming in practice mode and obtain multiple kits with multiple players.
Reward priority order:Moon lamp (lighting), searchlight (night work), glitter ball (decoration).
The aurora can be seen all over the island at 8pm. A beautiful bonus event.
Crab cage installation technique: Super efficient using pergola
Submerge the pergola and work from above. It becomes possible to collect and replenish without sinking. A stable supply of keys is achieved by operating 16 keys.
Paddy & Diving Helmet: Agricultural/Underwater Work Revolution
Paddy field with rice seeds: Fill 1 square of the river to create a shallow water. Automatically grow.
Diving helmet: Makes underwater rock handling more comfortable.
Ted Selly appearance condition: Chance to create strong weapons
Hunting Lv2, will appear without surrounding NPCs after 3pm on Saturdays. The appearance rate increases with “Dangerous Wish”. You can request high-performance weapons such as bat repellents and combat shovels.

Town facilities:
- Wishing Fountain: You can make a wish (dangerous wish recommended) for 150,000 yen. Requires 3 NPCs.
- Bank: Interest + Permitted Points can be exchanged. The ban will be lifted when the economy reaches 35% (approximately 875,000 expenditures).
- Town Bell: After the town hall, it will be possible to display the location of residents.
Money Strategy: Autumn Specialized Highly Efficient Method
- We sell 250 x dozens of mushrooms every day.

- Take advantage of high-value purchases at bug catching competitions.
- We will be selling meteorites.
More than 100,000 per day is possible.
Summary: Master the 28 Days of Autumn to Overwhelm Winter
In autumn, growth will accelerate in the nine pillars of workshop maintenance, Franklin equipment, mines, crab baskets, rice fields, sky festivals, jackhammers, Ted Selly, and town facilities. If you carry out your plan, your island will become professional. This is enough for winter. Enrich your Dinkum life with this guide.
