[Dinkum]Complete strategy guide for the middle of the autumn season | Detailed explanation of all events, order of release of all facilities, daily efficiency routine, thorough financial strategy manual

Dinkum is a highly flexible survival life simulation game set in the Australian outback. Seasonal changes greatly affect the pace of play. The fall season in particular is an important period for accelerating growth in the mid-season. By making the most of the 28 days of autumn, you will be able to explore mines in earnest, efficiently modify the terrain, obtain rewards from seasonal events, and unlock powerful tools.

This guide summarizes the optimal behavior patterns for each day from the beginning to the end of autumn, and provides detailed strategies for everyone from beginners to experts.

A characteristic of autumn is that mushrooms begin to grow under trees and can only be collected in the morning. In addition, the probability of wind occurrence is high, and transitions from cloudy to rainy occur frequently. The key is to build a routine that takes advantage of these. Furthermore, there are many events such as sky festivals and bug catching competitions, and you can get a large amount of limited items.

Why autumn is a turning point in mid-game strategy and the overall picture

In the fall, Franklin's Laboratory becomes available, unlocking terrain modification tools such as the Compactor and Dart Printer. This will dramatically speed up island flattening and waterfront reclamation, creating a foundation for agriculture and town development. In addition, access to the Underglobe and Deep Mine will be stabilized, making it possible to secure large amounts of iron ore and rare items.

Additionally, acquiring a jackhammer or chainsaw will increase mining and felling speed by more than 5 times. An automatic collection system for old keys using crab cages is also fully operational, allowing locked doors in mines to be opened one after another. In terms of events, you can aim to sell decorations at the Sky Festival and high-priced insects at the insect catching competition. Obtaining meteorites through meteor showers is also a highlight of the second half of autumn.

Main growth factors in autumn	Lifting timing	effect
Terrain modification tools (compressor/dart printer)	Early autumn (after increasing friendship with Franklin)	Island maintenance speed increased by 10 times
High speed tools (jackhammer/chainsaw)	Mid-autumn (around license level 5)	Increased resource collection efficiency
deep mine access	Early autumn~	Infinite supply of iron and rare ores
event reward	Around the 8th, 15th, 19th, and 21st	Limited items/money opportunity
Important facilities (bank, wishing fountain, town bell)	Late autumn	Interest, rare phenomenon, resident management

As shown in this table, autumn is a condensed phase of “preparation → explosive growth → stable operation”. Prepare for the harshness of winter and aim for a deposit of 1 million dink or more.

Optimal routine from the first day of autumn: 28-day schedule chart

Autumn success depends on your daily routine. The recommended actions from day 1 to day 28 are summarized below in table format. Be sure to incorporate mushroom foraging in the morning and take advantage of the weather forecast (after setting up a weather station).

day	Morning (mushroom/animal feeding)	Daytime (main work)	Evening to night (event/exploration)	target outcome
Day 1	All mushroom collection, animal food supplementation	Workshop maintenance (create table/path installation)	Crab basket installation started	Material stock 200%UP
2nd day	Franklin birthday present (giant bone meat)	Franklin friendship level increase	Dart printer ban lifted	Start of terrain modification
Days 3-7	mushroom/fishing	Compressor installation/level land creation	Crab basket recovery (5 old keys)	Accumulate 10 keys
Day 8 (Sky Festival)	kite preparation	Shoot down the lantern (50 tickets)	Aurora viewing/exchange	Obtain Moon Lamp Searchlight
Days 9-14	Paddy field construction (rice seed planting)	Chainsaw ban lifted – large amount of wood	First deep mine exploration	Glider/Glowing Helmet
Day 15 (bug catching competition)	Purchase insect net	Participating in the tournament (aiming for first place in points)	julia high price purchase	Dink get 100,000
Day 16	River Birthday (saltwater fish dish)	underglobe iron hunter	Jackhammer released	500 iron ore
Days 17-20	Crab basket optimization (pergola installation)	Multiple quarries installed	Night market (19th)	20 keys/limited furniture
Around day 21	Meteor shower monitoring	Meteorite collection/photo request	Exploring Ted Selly	Meteorite sale 50,000 dink
Days 22-24	Silo installation/animal UP	Bank/Wishing Fountain Construction	John's birthday (crocodile meat)	Deposit interest starts
Days 25-28	Full routine automation confirmation	Town bell installation and final adjustments	Winter preparation (food stock)	Midway finish/deposit 2 million

If you follow this routine, your island will be completely transformed by the end of fall. Be flexible and consider weather and luck.

Early autumn priorities: A thorough guide to securing materials and preparing the workshop

On the first day of autumn, we immediately respond to seasonal changes. First, go around the entire island and collect mushrooms. Agaric mushrooms (on bushland grass), slippery jacks (on tropical grass), etc. can be sold for 250 Dink by biome. Since it is only available in the morning, I will complete it first thing in the morning.

Next, strengthen your workplace. Install multiple create tables and pave a path to increase movement efficiency. Prioritize your friendship with Franklin and obtain a dirt printer (earth mounding) and compactor (ground leveling). Durability management is important, so always keep a repair kit on hand. This will make it easier to fill in waterfront areas and flatten fields.

Tips for avoiding beginner mistakes:

• Keep the compressor away from water to minimize durability consumption.
• The road is cobblestone-free so it won't be slippery.

Optimal use of Franklin's inventions: compressors, dirt printers, quarries

After opening the Franklin Institute, we will immediately accept requests for inventions. A dirt printer is essential for creating rice paddies, and when combined with a compressor, height differences can be adjusted at lightning speed. A quarry (ore generator) is crafted with 5 old gears, 1 old device, and an iron bar. Random ore is generated every day, and multiple installations will provide a stable supply of resources.

Installation example:

1. Line up 3 quarries near the base and connect them to the automatic smarter.
2. The output will be more than 50 pieces of Nissan iron.

Weather management essentials: Weather station installation guide

Weather stations will be constructed early to predict heavy rainfall in autumn. You can check the weather for the next day and use it for watering schedules and meteor shower forecasts. When it rains, shift to indoor work (repairs/crafts).

Animal facility upgrade: Maximize effectiveness of silos and small animal houses

The silo has an 18×18 area with automatic bait replenishment (capacity 200). Upgrade your animal house and install a silo to make it zero management. We will actively capture fall critters (such as Seed Ponzi) and sell them for money.

Mine full-scale strategy: Underglobe & Deep Mine complete map

Undergrove is an iron ore paradise, but be careful of caterpillars. A glowing helmet is required. Deep Mine can obtain a glider guitar (animal stroking judgment UP). Chain the door openings with the crab cage key.

Recommended equipment: Jackhammer + diving helmet (underwater rock destruction).

Sky Festival Complete Guide: Collecting Ticket Efficiency and Reward Priority

It will be held from 11am on the 8th. Get a kite from Fletch and earn a ticket by shooting down the lantern at 3pm. It will be aurora at 8pm. Rewards are Moon Lamp (10 pieces) > Searchlight (20 pieces) > Aurora Costume (5 pieces). If you drop 10 with a slingshot, the achievement will be unlocked.

Crab God operation: 20 keys per day using pergola

Place it in 2 squares of water and feed it to get critters and keys. There are 16 pergola scaffolds in operation with zero falls. The collection routine is to collect in the morning and reload in the evening.

Paddy agricultural revolution: No watering with rice seeds

After the 9th, obtain rice seeds and plant them in shallow water (fill 1 square). Harvesting efficiency is tripled, and with automation, food becomes infinite.

High-speed tools unlocked: Gathering materials for chainsaws and jackhammers

Chainsaws are 5x faster at wood. Jackhammer is all ore fast. I will polish my license and get it in mid-autumn.

Using a diving helmet: A new era for underwater work

Destroys underwater rocks and trees. Ideal for expanding rice fields and collecting shellfish.

Complete summoning of Ted Selly: Conditions and location for strong weapon production

Hunting license Lv2, after 3pm on Saturday, within 200 tiles with no NPCs. Detected by whistle sound. This will be a request for a bat repellent and a combat shovel.

Meteor Shower & Meteorite Hunt: Rare Event on the Night of Autumn 21st

Monitor from 20-23:00 and collect the meteorite to sell it at a high price and clear the request.

Facility construction rush in the second half: Bank, Wishing Fountain, Town Bell

Bank is interest & allowed point exchange. The Wishing Fountain is 150,000 yen and has a rare phenomenon UP (recommended for wishing for a good harvest). The town bell confirms the location of residents.

Construction order: Bank → Wishing Fountain → Town Bell.

Autumn limited creatures & money strategy: list of insects, fish, critters

kinds	Example name	habitat	Selling price
insect	flies	above ground	During high-stakes tournaments
fish	yellow tang	sea	Autumn only
critter	seeds ponzi	water	Key included

It will be sold 2.5 times as much at the bug catching competition and will be a limited edition item at the night market.

Common mistakes and advanced tips

• Failure: Mine stagnation due to lack of keys → 16 crab cages immediately.
• Tips: 10 quarries will make you self-sufficient in ore, and animal collection points will automate your monetary policy.

Summary: He who controls the fall controls the dinkum.

If you follow this guide for the 28 days of autumn, you will be able to break through the mid-game wall and enjoy comfortable play in the winter and beyond. Transform your island into your ideal paradise by streamlining everything from workshop maintenance to event rewards and facility construction. Make your daily routine a habit and increase the number of dinks. I sincerely hope that this strategy will further enrich your dinkum life.
