[Dinkum]A complete master guide to making money from baked apples: A super efficient farm construction technique that generates over 10 million links per month using automatic placement machines and Jimmy boats[2025 latest edition – Thorough guide to Dinkum]

As you enjoy endless adventures and town building in Dinkum's vast outback, one of the things that bothers you the most is the lack of links (in-game currency). Purchasing new licenses, building facilities to attract residents, venturing deeper into the mines, and expanding the entire island all consume links. Especially from the beginning to the middle of the game, there are many players who are chased by cash flow on a daily basis and slow down their exploration and building pace.

The ultimate financial strategy to eliminate such worries is the “Cooked Apple Production Line''. This method can be started at a low cost by utilizing wild apples. The grown orchard creates an automatic harvest cycle, and by combining it with the latest update of the automatic placement machine (Auto Placer), you can achieve stable income with almost no effort. Furthermore, if you make a series of high-priced sales on Jimmy's Boat, which is only available on rainy days, it is quite possible to generate over 3 million links in a single visit, or over 10 million links per month.

In this guide, we will explain super detailed steps that reflect the latest update in 2025 (new animal breeding system, train addition, Auto Placer enhancement). Suitable for beginners to advanced users, it covers comparative data with other financial strategies (beer brewing, cheese production, gem mining), troubleshooting, and scale-up expansion plans. We fully support Dinkum's slow life financially.

1. The appeal of baked apple money: Why is this the strongest right now?

Dinkum's money strategies are diverse, but the following four points stand out for Baked Apples.

1-1. Low risk, high return: initial investment almost zero

• Obtain wild apples: You can immediately harvest them from the island's bushlands and plains. You can get up to 4 from one tree.
• Processing cost: Cook over a campfire. Wood is sufficient for fuel.
• Sale price: 107 links for fresh apples to 390 links for baked apples (approximately 3.6 times more). Jimmy Boat also comes with a 1.5x bonus (for bulk sales of 50 or more items).

1-2. Excellent compatibility with automation: Zero labor with Auto Placer

• Auto Placer, added in the latest update, does everything from inserting apples to automatically cooking and discharging baked apples. Production speed is greatly improved by connecting multiple units.
• After the orchard grows, each mature tree will automatically drop 4 pieces every 6 days. All trees mature in 122 days.

1-3. Jimmy Boat huge profits: High returns only on rainy days

• Appearance conditions: 1,000,000 or more bank deposits and rain in the morning. A “?” mark will be displayed on the map.
• Bonus: The price will be more than 1.5x for 50 or more of the same item. 600 baked apples will give you approximately 350,000 links.

1-4. Versatility: Food + Buff + Money Strategy

• Effect: HP recovers for 4 minutes and energy increases by 2/tick. Very useful for exploration and mining.
• With surplus stock, you can wait for Jimmy.

Profit simulation table (commercial license Lv2, using Jimmy Boat)

Number of fruit trees	1 cycle harvest (6 days)	Baked apple equivalent	Sell ​​Jimmy (50 pieces bonus)	Monthly (5 cycles)
50 pieces	200 pieces	200 pieces	Approximately 78,000 links	390,000 links
150 pieces	600 pieces	600 pieces	Approximately 350,000 links	1,750,000 links
500 pieces	2,000 pieces	2,000 pieces	Approximately 1,170,000 links	5,850,000 links
800+	3,500+	3,500+	Approximately over 2,000,000 links	Over 10,000,000 links

Comparison of other financial plans (per cycle):

• Beer Brewing (Wattle Brew): 9,000 links/piece, but you need to collect seeds and wait 7 days for brewing. It's a lot of effort.
• Cheese production: stable, but takes time to build up the feed loop.
• Gem mining: expensive (29,000 opal links), but high risk.

Conclusion: Baked apples are the best with minimal effort, unlimited scale, and zero risk.

2. Build a perfect apple orchard: From zero to a 6 million link farm per month

2-1. Basics of acquiring and planting apple trees

• Wild Foraging: Pine Forest Biome is recommended. Dig up the roots with a shovel to obtain seedlings. 10-20 bottles per day is possible.

How to plant:

1. Find a flat area (preferably in the center of the island, as it provides easy access to all biomes).
2. Space them 3×3 (maximizes harvest efficiency).

空   空   空   空   空

3. Watering: Initially, watering is done manually (with a bucket). Use fertilizer (compost) to accelerate growth.

Growth cycle:

• 122 days after planting: Young tree.
• After the tree matures, 4 pieces will fall every 6 days (automatic harvesting is possible).

Tips: Spring planting accelerates summer harvest. The new train system will improve transportation efficiency.

2-2. Optimal field layout: Maximizing yield

• Small scale (50 plants in the beginning): Manual harvest. 200 pieces per cycle.
• Medium scale (150 units): Install sprinklers. 1 water tank + 24 sprinklers.
• Large scale (500+): Tractor + all attachments. Auto Placer Line Build a Durata Placer line.

Expansion Tips: Mixed planting of mushrooms (using gaps) is possible. Fertilizer loop (Vombat Poo → Compost) is possible.

Trouble: If the tree does not grow, check the soil (Pine soil required). Insect damage can be dealt with by regular pruning.

3. Revolutionary use of automatic placement machine: Fully automated cooking

3-1. Obtaining and crafting Auto Placer

• Release: Agriculture level is high and Franklin invitation (researcher) is required.
• Materials: Iron Bar x20, Gear x10, Battery x5 (Deep Mine recommended).
• Installation: Apple input port (rear) → grill connection → discharge belt.

3-2. Production line construction steps

1. Stand-alone operation: 1 minute/unit per unit. Suitable for early testing.
2. 5-10 units connected: 5 times faster speed. Electricity (Windmill) is required.
3. Full line: Harvest Belt → Auto Placer → Storage Chest → Jimmy Boat Transport (using train).
   Speed: Over 1,000 pieces per hour.
   Power Tips: 24/7 operation is possible by adding a Solar Panel.

Actual example: 10 units connected will produce 5,000 units per day. You can get huge profits with Jimmy.

Note: Install a water tank nearby to prevent overheating.

6. Common problems and solutions

problem	cause	solution
tree growth slow	soil/water shortage	Use Pine soil + fertilizer
Auto Placer stops	power/clog	Windmill + cleaning
Jimmy isn't coming	deposit/weather	1M deposit + waiting for rain
low harvest	Spacing mistake	Replant in 3×3 layout

7. Player Review & 2025 Update Impact
