Dinkum is an open world survival craft game set in the Australian outback. As you work alone on everything from cultivating the island to building a town and collecting resources, the efficiency of movement and land preparation greatly influences the comfort of the game. Meanwhile, an engineer NPC named Franklin offers inventions that are powerful tools that will fundamentally change the lives of players. By having these items in place, especially in the early stages, you will be freed from the hardships of walking, and the speed of city development will be increased several times.

This guide covers all recipes for Franklin's inventions and provides a clear starting priority ranking. We will thoroughly explain how to obtain materials for each invention, specific usage techniques, and tips for managing durability. With Franklin on your side, let's revolutionize island life.

Why Franklin changed island life: The overwhelming benefits of his invention

Franklin is the Dinkum world's only expert in inventing advanced machines. In his laboratory, you can unlock the creation of new inventions by selling glowing discs, and requested items arrive in your mailbox the next day. These inventions are mainly classified as power tools, vehicles, and equipment, and all are characterized by having durability values.

The reason why you should prioritize from the beginning is that in the early stages, where you mainly walk or do things by hand, it takes a huge amount of time to collect resources and clear the land. Introducing Franklin's invention will increase movement speed by more than three times, and leveling the land will require 1/10th the effort. For example, a motorcycle can make dangerous journeys at night safer, and a jet ski can speed up sea fishing. As a result, the city's development level will rapidly increase, and other NPC migration will also accelerate.

Among players, there are many who say, ``The real start begins after moving to Franklin,'' and we often hear people screaming when their durability runs out and they are broken. Invest early and play with no regrets.

Ranking of top priority inventions in the early stages: Top 5 lifestyle revolutions

There are over 50 types of Franklin inventions, but the following five should be collected at the beginning. Priority is determined by immediate comfort improvement, material availability, and cost performance.

rank Invention name Number of glowing discs required Price (Dink) Main effect Reason for priority
1st place charging station 10 100,000 power tool power recovery It's essential infrastructure. Prevents other inventions from becoming unusable
2nd place motorcycle 3 80,000 High-speed ground movement/step jump It's a mobile revolution. Improves safety at night and the efficiency of resource transportation
3rd place jet ski 3 80,000 Water high speed movement/jumping Sea fishing and traveling between islands will become more comfortable.
4th place compressor 10 50,000 Flattened by ground compression It is a sacred treasure for leveling the land. Create field/town infrastructure quickly
5th place dirt printer 20 300,000 Height adjustment by mounding soil Eliminates steps in large buildings

The total cost to prepare these items is approximately 610,000 DINK, and it can be opened with approximately 30 glowing discs.

Top priority invention details ①: Charging station – the foundation of an electric lifestyle

Recipe/ingredients

  • Uses 8 copper bars
  • Uses 8 iron bars
  • Use 8 colorful wires
  • Uses 3 hot cylinders
  • Use 2 green boards

Utilization techniques

Install multiple units near your home or laboratory to keep your power tools fully charged at all times. There are many accidents where tools break due to forgetting to charge them. Torches and miner helmets can also be recovered. Work efficiency will further increase when used with spark-based food buffs.

Points to note

Tools will be destroyed due to power outage. If the red warning appears, please charge it immediately.

Top Priority Invention Details ②: Motorcycle – The definitive guide to ground transportation

Recipe/ingredients

  • Uses 10 old gears
  • Uses 5 iron bars
  • Use 4 old springs
  • Use 2 old wheels
  • Uses one old device

Utilization techniques

It has a small turning radius and can jump over steps. Ideal for avoiding mobs at night, and although it cannot load resources, it dramatically shortens long-distance travel. Custom painted to become a symbol of the city.

Top priority invention details ③: Jet ski – King of the sea

Recipe/ingredients

  • Uses 10 old gears
  • Uses 5 iron bars
  • Use 2 hot cylinders
  • Use 1 green board
  • Use one old wheel
  • Uses one old device

Utilization techniques

You can jump straight to the sea fishing spot. Traveling between islands becomes extremely fast, which is the key to winning the fishing tournament.

Sacred treasures for improving land preparation efficiency: compactors and dirt printers

compressor

  • Materials: Use 5 old gears, 2 hot cylinders, 1 green board, 6 iron bars, and 1 shovel.

Performs wide area ground compaction. We specialize in flattening fields.

dirt printer

  • Materials: Use 5 old gears, 2 hot cylinders, 1 green plate, 6 iron bars, 3 colorful wires, and 5 opals.

Soil can be raised to any desired height. Hill architecture is flexible.

Utilization techniques

The best combo is to flatten it with a compressor and then adjust the height with a dirt printer. You can complete one city block in 30 minutes.

Essential support for power tools: repair table and chainsaw/jackhammer

repair table

  • Materials: Use 5 eucalyptus boards, 4 tin bars, 4 copper bars, 5 old gears, and 16 nails.

Repair tools with a repair kit (purchase one each day).

chainsaw: Requires felling Lv3. You can collect wood at high speed.

jackhammer: Mining Lv3 is required. Breaks rocks at high speed.

These will stabilize resource gathering and make conquering Deep Mine much easier.

Flying vehicles: helicopters and airplanes are the targets for the second half

helicopter:Hovering is possible. 28 discs, 3 million dinks. The handling is great.

plane:Can carry luggage, but is difficult to operate. 50 discs, 5 million dinks.

It's not necessary at the beginning. Since expensive materials are required, we will use tractors and hot air balloons to get there.

Techniques for using respawn points to streamline material collection

  • Iron re-spring: Northern hill vein. Loop on a motorcycle
  • Copper re-spring: Tobu Kawabe. Effective with jet ski
  • Stone/Opal: Can be automated at the quarry (7 discs)

Earn Dink by selling amber and gemstones, and give priority to the deep layers of Deep Mine for glowing discs.

Thorough tips for durability management to make inventions last longer

  • Always check the charging station before starting work
  • Keep at least 10 repair kits in stock.
  • Spark foods can reduce consumption
  • If a red mark appears, please evacuate immediately.

The improved version (using belconium) doubles the durability.

Intermediate and advanced inventions: Automated Tendo with blast furnace and autosorter

  • blast furnace: Refining becomes faster. Will be unlocked after delivery of Belconium 10
  • autosorter: The warehouse will be automatically sorted. The production line is completed

This will bring the city's development to its peak.

Summary: Master Dinkum with Franklin's inventions

Franklin's invention is Dinkum's biggest investment value early on. Having the top 5 priorities (charging stations, motorcycles, jet skis, compressors, dirt printers) will make your life dramatically easier. Start by collecting glowing discs and proceed with the materials in a planned manner. Don't neglect durability management and experience the speed of development of the island. If you follow this guide, your Dinkum world will evolve into another dimension.
