[Dinkum Complete Guide]Deep Mine (Underground Mine) Complete Guide | Covers all equipment, battles, and item acquisition methods that are essential for beginners

Dinkum's Deep Mine is an important area indispensable for collecting materials from the mid-game onwards. While these underground mines can mine large amounts of valuable minerals such as iron ore and copper ore, they are also a dangerous zone filled with dark maze-like structures and swarms of ferocious enemies. When beginners try the game for the first time, they are easily overwhelmed by the poor visibility and the large number of enemies, and there are many cases where the cost of 25,000 dinks per pass is wasted.

In this guide, we will explain in detail the strategy covering everything from release conditions, basic equipment, battle tips, how to obtain rare items, and upgrades for intermediate players. Provides step-by-step instructions for achieving maximum efficiency in a single search. If you read this, Deep Mine will change from a “treasure trove of gold” to a “stable source of income.” Packed with practical information.

1. What is Deep Mine? Complete understanding of release conditions and overall overview

Deep Mine (underground mine) is a mid-game dungeon that is released after obtaining mining license Lv2. It is accessed through an elevator built in the northeast part of the island and descended using an underground mine pass (25,000 Dink at John's store), which is limited to one per day. Inside is a vast cave biome that randomly generates daily and features a dark labyrinth structure surrounded by stone walls. You proceed by breaking down walls with a pickaxe to open a path, but visibility is extremely poor and exploration itself is impossible without a light source.

Step-by-step instructions for release

1. Obtain mining license Lv1: Purchase from Fletch for 250 permit points from the beginning. You will be able to use the basic pickaxe.
2. Reach mining skill level 10: Raise your level by mining rocks and ores on the ground. This is the approximate time for iron ore to start appearing.
3. Mining license Lv2 acquisition: 1,000 permit points are required. Deep mining license will be released.
4. Obtain Deep Mining License Lv1: Obtain a “Mining Permit” (Mine Deed) from Fletch with 3,500 permit points.
5. Elevator construction: Place the permit in the 3×3 space and insert the required materials (10 cement bags, 10 old gears, 2 old keys, 1 old device, 5 tin bars, 5 copper bars). It will be completed in two days, and the town will incur a debt of 250,000 dinks during construction.
6. First entry: Purchase an underground mine pass from John's store and operate the elevator to descend.

Internal picture and risks

• The map size is very large and it is easy to get lost. Always be aware of the elevator location.
• There is a time limit, and radiation will occur at midnight (after 11pm) and will cause continuous damage. Ideally, you should arrive around 6pm.
• As a reward, you can expect 50-100 iron ores, multiple rubies, and rare items from the treasure chest in one go, and you can easily recover the pass cost with the proceeds from the sale.
• The next floor, Underglobe, can be unlocked by breaking 4 rubies into pieces with a crusher and placing them in the elevator system.

Keep this overview in mind and prepare before taking on the challenge.

2. Essential preparations before entering Deep Mine and the optimal route to obtain a license

Deep Mine is a place where preparation is 80%. To ensure you recoup your pass costs, you need to maximize efficiency from the start.

Efficient way to earn permission points

• Receive daily tasks from Fletch every day and prioritize mining-related tasks.
• Earn bonus points by achieving milestones.
• As you attract residents and settle Franklin, you will receive a metal detector, which will greatly increase efficiency.

Gathering materials before construction

• Cement bags are made from stone using a stone grinder.
• Old gears, keys, and devices are collected by excavating and destroying drums.
• Bars are processed from above-ground ore at the smelter.

Gather all of these materials and make sure your debts are paid off before building the elevator. In multiplayer, only the world owner can build.

3. Complete list of basic equipment and recommended items to bring

Bring it in, making full use of the 20 slots in your inventory.

Absolutely essential equipment

item	quantity	Why and how to get it
copper pickaxe	3-5 pieces	Iron ore can be mined. We will prepare multiple pieces with an emphasis on durability.
copper spear	2 pieces	It has a long reach and allows you to fight safely.
Torch (wooden or light)	10-20 pieces	Ensure visibility. Stuns the enemy.
first aid kit	5 pieces	Instantly recovers HP.
underground mine path	1 piece	Required for entry.
old key	10-20 pieces	Unlock the treasure chest.
Loan car (Ute)	1 unit	Unlimited item carrying capacity.

Optional equipment

• Metal detector: Find keys and gears efficiently.
• Insect net: Capture glowing insects and sell them for a high price.
• Scoop: Dig up buried treasure.

Spare pickaxes can be replaced the moment their durability runs out, reducing time loss to zero. Get into the habit of leaving your loaner car in front of the elevator and collecting it regularly.

4. Detailed explanation of optimal foods and buff effects

Food dramatically improves survival through stamina management and buffs.

Recommended food list and effects

food	Effect details	How to create/obtain
cooked crocodile meat	HP+35, MaxHP+25, Stamina+10	Grill the crocodile meat.
fruit salad	Defense +20%, recovery speed improved	Mix various fruits.
crab soup	Durability maintenance, poison resistance	Use crab + vegetables.
wattle tea	Mining speed +15%	Ferment the wattle seeds.

Bring at least 5 of each, mainly crocodile meat, and use wattle tea to increase speed while mining. Max HP can be increased to 150% or more by stacking buffs.

5. Enemies in Deep Mine and combat countermeasure techniques

Enemies spawn endlessly. Fights are kept to a minimum and only used with spears when necessary.

Complete list of appearing enemies and countermeasures

enemy name	Features	countermeasure
cave bat	Rushing in groups, low stamina	Stun it with a torch. Performs continuous attacks with a spear.
bush devil	Fireball long range attack + close bite	Keep your distance and attack with your spear.
glowing crocodile	Poisonous with spore cloud + powerful bite	Use the spear while retreating. Poison resistant food is a must.

The basics of combat are the reach of the spear and the torch stun. If you are surrounded, run to a substitute car and regroup.

6. Efficient exploration route and important item acquisition guide

After descending, go around clockwise and break the wall to create a shortcut.

Important item details

• Ruby: A huge red ore. If you break 4 of them into pieces with a crusher, you will release an under glove.
• Guitar: Appears from a treasure chest. Increases animal affinity.
• Miner's Helmet: Illuminated head armor.
• Bat Glider: Give 20 wings to the bat statue.
• Treasure Vault: A gray circular structure. Unlock with 2 old keys.

The most efficient flow is descending → setting torches around → giving priority to the treasure chest → mining in dense ore areas → loading onto a loaner vehicle → returning home.

7. Equipment upgrades and advanced techniques for intermediate and advanced players

Further strengthen basic equipment.

Advanced equipment list

equipment	effect	Creation request destination
bat repellent	Bat faints + feather drop rate UP	Ted Selly
combat shovel	Continuous attacks are fast	Same as above
jackhammer	Revolutionary mining speed	After iron pickaxe

An advanced technique is to arrange multiple loaner cars. We will evacuate 5 minutes before radiation occurs. Ruby will be collected first. We will divide the roles in multiplayer.

8. Summary of safety strategies and daily routine suggestions

The key to conquering Deep Mine is 4 points: preparation, visibility, distance, and management. Collect pass fees, increase dinks, and develop your town with materials.

Example daily routine:
Purchase your pass in the morning. →We will enter around 18:00. →We will vacate by 9pm. → Perform smelting and crash processing. →The next day we will move on to the under glove.

Now you can fully master Deep Mine. Next time, try going deeper under the grove. Conquer the underground world of Dinkum with continuous exploration.
