[Dinkum/Dinkum Complete Strategy]The strongest money strategy in the mid-game! Earn more than 100,000 dink per day by trapping animals and a thorough explanation of trap setting and recommended routes[Irritating bush devil specialization / reward list included]

Dinkum is a slow-life survival game set in the Australian outback. In the process of developing the island, building a town, and increasing the number of residents, you will need a large amount of money (DINK). Especially after the middle of the game, when you want to use Dink more and more for equipment expansion, license acquisition, and town development, you need an efficient method of making money.

The animal capture monetary policy is one of the strongest methods that can be used in earnest from the middle of the game. You can use a trap to catch an animal with a high reward, and the dink and trap will be returned to you in the mail the next day, so once you have made the initial investment, you can repeat the game almost infinitely. In particular, if you aim for irritants and bush devils, you can earn tens of thousands to more than 100,000 dinks in one routine.

This guide will cover everything from trap crafting to setting techniques, specific hunting routes, and safety measures. We will explain step-by-step so that even beginners can put it into practice right away, so please use it as a reference.

The appeal of animal trapping and early preparations: Why should you start now?

Catching animals is overwhelmingly more efficient than other methods of making money, such as fishing, catching insects, or digging mines. The reason is as follows.

• Consistency of high rewards: 12,000 Dink for one Bush Devil and 8,400 Dink for one Irritated Moo. If you catch multiple fish in a group, it is possible to catch more than 100,000 dink per day.
• Trap reuse: After capture, the trap is returned the next day, allowing you to continue with no additional costs.
• Automation element: If you set up an animal collection point, all you have to do is transport it and it will be processed.
• Possible all year round: There are few seasonal restrictions, making it ideal for the main money strategy from the middle of the year onwards.

However, you will need a license and materials to get started. I will summarize the flow of the beginning.

Required license acquisition order

Dinkum licenses are purchased with permission points. Focus on hunting in the early stages.

license	Required points	Released content	priority
Hunting license Lv1	150	Preconditions for releasing the trap license	★★★★★
Trap license Lv1	500	simple animal trap recipe	★★★★★
Metal Detection License Lv2	300	Old springs are easier to obtain	★★★★☆
Logging license Lv2	400	hard wood available	★★★☆☆

Earn permission points through quests and daily missions. It is efficient to purchase a shovel from John's Goods and utilize metal detection.

Crafting recipes for traps and collection points

Simple animal trap (mass production recommended)

material	quantity	How to get it
old spring	1	Obtained from metal detection Lv2 treasure digging (x mark)
tin bars	1	Smelt 5 tin ores in the furnace
mangrove stick	8	Cutting down a mangrove tree with an ax

Animal collection point (one is enough, multiple can be installed)

material	quantity	How to get it
palm wood plank	2	Machining palm logs with a table saw
hard wood board	2	Cut down coniferous trees with a copper ax or higher and process with a table saw
nail	1	Make 8 pieces with 1 tin bar.

The preparation is now complete.

The strongest animal to aim for capture ①: Iriramu (High price & make a lot of money when groups appear)

Irasamu is a classic high-reward animal in tropical regions. They have strong attack power and will track the player, which makes them easier to capture.

Reasons why you should aim for Ira Mu

• Reward: 8,400 Dink per fish. They appear in groups of 2 to 4, resulting in 16,800 to 33,600 dinks in one hunt.
• Location: Tropical area on the north side of the island (near the bushland). Explore areas densely populated with palm trees.
• Characteristics: When approached, it becomes hostile and charges in a straight line. Respawns are fast and there is a steady supply every day.

Tips for catching

1. Patrol the tropical area by bike or foot to discover herds.
2. Place multiple traps (4 or more) in a straight line along the animal's movement route.
3. The player acts as a decoy and guides the animal into the trap. Level the area around the trap to make it easier to get caught.
4. After capturing it, it will go wild, so quickly bring it to the collection point.

Don't give up and capture them until the herd is wiped out. If you miss one herd, you will lose tens of thousands of dinks.

Strongest animal to aim for capture ②: Bush devil (maximum unit price 12,000 dink)

Bush devils are kings of money making. The flame attack is troublesome, but depending on the countermeasures you can safely capture it.

Bush devil's target point

• Reward: 12,000 dink per animal. One or two individuals will spawn in the nest.
• Location: Southwest pine forest, near the Deep Mine entrance, and part of the desert area.
• Characteristics: It looks like a black devil. It breathes flames and turns the player into a fireball. They often sleep in their nests during the day, increasing your chances of catching them.

Points to note and countermeasures

• Avoiding fire attacks: Set up a trap near the water's edge. If there is a fire, immediately jump into water to extinguish it.
• Nest check: Make it a routine to visit the same nest every day.
• Capture procedure: Guide the sleeping animal to the trap. When you wake up, keep a distance and guide the route.

If you visit the nest 2 to 3 times a day, you can guarantee 24,000 to 36,000 dinks.

All-animal reward comparison chart: clarify priorities

animal name	reward dink	Main locations	Difficulty level	Recommended level
bush devil	12,000	Pine forest/deep mine	High (flame)	★★★★★
crocodile	9,600	River/Billabong/Mangrove	Medium	★★★★☆
Frilled	9,720	desert	Medium	★★★★☆
iramou	8,400	Tropical (North)	Medium	★★★★★
Kidna	8,400	desert	low	★★★☆☆
jackaroo	6,400	bushland/desert	low	★★☆☆☆
digo	4,400	Plains/Desert	low	★☆☆☆☆

Trap placement and guidance techniques to increase efficiency: How to set up with zero failures

Basic rules

1. Arrange traps in a straight line along the movement route: Arrange traps along the animal's circuit or nest exit. Capture multiple at the same time with 5 or more in one row.
2. Surrounding ground leveling: Since traps are not effective due to unevenness, level it out. Use an ice ax.
3. Collection point adjacent: Minimize transport distance.

Safety induction procedure

1. After setting the trap, approach the animal from a distance where it won't notice you.
2. Make them hostile, chase them, and draw them into your trap line.
3. If you're hooked, we'll transport it right away. Manage your stamina to prevent rampage.
4. Bush devil only: Secure water source. Enter the water with a flaming jump.

As an advanced technique, you can extend the capture time with advanced traps (trap level 2, iron ingot required), and cover the entire island by setting multiple points.

Complete automation using collection points: the ultimate in time savings

Collection points are the heart of monetary policy. We recommend placing one in the tropics and one in the pine forest.

• Advantage: Just throw it in. Get a dink by checking the post the next morning. Traps will also be returned 100%.
• Installation Tips: Fix near the nest. Be careful not to peel it off.

time	action
morning	Tropical Illustrated Moo Hunt
noon	Hunting Pine Forest Bush Devils
evening	Post Confirm & Reinvest

Now you can achieve 100,000 dinks in less than 1 hour a day.

Process after capture and tips for increasing additional income: Professional level optimization

Receive reward

Dink + Trap will arrive in the post the next day.

The secret to earning more

1. Mass production of traps: Carry 20 in your inventory.
2. Capturing the entire flock: If you see an irritated moo, capture it without missing it.
3. Multiple nest patrols: Create fixed routes for bush devils in 3 locations.
4. Water escape in case of danger: Required until fire resistant equipment is available.
5. Combo money strategy: Sell the drops (meat/bones) while capturing.
6. Multi-use: Double the efficiency by sharing with a friend.

The most common mistakes are passing through the trap due to unleveled ground, and dying due to ignoring the flames. Please make thorough preparations in advance.

Players suitable for this money strategy

• Active: Great if you like exploring. You can earn money quickly with a routine.
• Mid-level players: We will start immediately once we have the licenses.
• Soloists: It's okay to leave it alone due to automation.
• Comparison of other money options: fishing (unstable), bug hunting (seasonal), and mining (high risk). Animal capture is the most balanced.

Summary: Let's bring about a financial revolution with Irrear Moo & Bush Devil

Dinkum's mid-game money strategy is by far to capture animals. If you combine Irramu's swarm of profits and Bush Devil's high unit price, and master trap placement, safe guidance, and collection points, you can easily achieve 100,000 dinks a day. Expand the city, release all licenses, accelerate the construction of mansions, and realize your ideal island life. If you follow this guide from preparation to practice, you won't make a mistake.
