[Dinkum]A complete manual of god-level tricks! A thorough guide to the agricultural revolution in underwater fields without watering, rare recycling box collection techniques, and hand trolley super transportation techniques[Switch version compatible]

Dinkum is a survival and city-building game set in the vast Australian outback. The high degree of freedom to explore caves, mine, raise animals, manage farms, and build a thriving town by increasing the number of residents is attractive. Many players have been enjoying it, especially since the Switch version was released. However, the reality is that the vast map and huge amount of work become a bottleneck, and it takes a lot of time from the beginning to the middle.

Therefore, in this article, we will explain in super detailed step-by-step three amazing tricks that anyone can use right away. If you know these things, the daily tedious watering work will be drastically reduced, rare items will collect on their own, and the stress of transporting them will be reduced to zero. The patch status has also been confirmed and is guaranteed to work on the Switch version. At the end of the article, we will introduce the strongest loop that combines these tricks, so please read to the end.

1. No watering required! The ultimate technique to automate agriculture in underwater fields

Dinkum farming is the most difficult point for beginners, as crops will wither if they are not planted and watered every day. In a normal farm, it is necessary to use a watering can at the water's edge and water all the fields once a day, but the trick to reducing this to zero is to use an underwater farm. Especially for rice, if you create a field underwater (at a shallow depth of about 1 block), it will grow normally without any need for watering. The growth rate and quality are the same as on land, and it can be grown throughout the year, making it ideal for securing food and making money. This technique also works on the Switch version, and there are no modifications included.

Why is the underwater field divine? Thorough explanation of the benefits

• Zero watering: No need to use a watering can dozens of times every day. You can save more than 30 minutes per day. Freed from the routine of watering only during rainy days, you can concentrate on exploring and building your city.
• Year-round cultivation possible: Rice can be grown in all seasons, ensuring a stable supply regardless of spring, summer, fall, or winter. You can get at least one plant per harvest, and a large amount if you plant multiple plants.
• Low cost: No special licenses or high-end equipment required. It can be implemented immediately from the beginning.
• Highly scalable: Can be used anywhere near water. You can build a huge farm using rivers and ponds.

The disadvantage is that you need to be careful in the early stages when the underwater work does not last long, but you can clear it by managing your stamina. Other crops (wheat, tomatoes, etc.) cannot be submerged and require regular watering, so specializing in rice is the key.

Things to prepare (available at the beginning)

• Hoe: Purchased at Rain's Greenhouse (Copper/Iron upgrade recommended). Required for plowing.
• Rice Seeds: 120Dinks at Rain's store. Random inventory so check daily.
• Fences: Measures against wild animals. A wooden fence is sufficient.
• Fertilizer (optional): Crafted in a compost bin. It is highly effective in accelerating growth.
• Agricultural License Lv.1: Get it immediately from Fletch for 250 points (initial release).

Step-by-step super detailed instructions (duration: 10 minutes)

1. Location selection: Find a shallow area (1 block deep) in a river or pond. The best place is near the water near your house. Level it with a leveling tool.
2. Underwater cultivation: Equipped with a hoe and used by plunging into the water. You can till the ground underwater (bubbles will appear, but that's OK). You can plow 6 squares in front at once. Goal: A plot of 3×3 or larger.
3. Sowing seeds: Use “rice seeds” on cultivated floating soil. It will be planted automatically. Mass produced in multiple rows.
4. Fence installation: Surround the area with a wooden fence. Add Scarecrow to counter birds (Agriculture Lv.1 recipe).
5. Fertilizer application (recommended): Spread fertilizer on the cultivated soil before sowing. Growth will be 1.5 times faster.
6. Leave it alone: ​​No watering required. Harvest in 9 days (sparkle display). Harvest with a sickle or bare hands.
7. Extension: Replant immediately after harvest. Automation will become even easier after acquiring the tractor (in the second half).

Notes and troubleshooting

• Be careful if the water is too deep: If it is more than 2 blocks, it cannot be cultivated. Choose shallow water carefully.
• Animal vandalism: Fencing is required. Scarecrow can block 100% of birds.
• Other crops? :For land use only, such as wheat. Even if you plant it in water, it will not grow and wither. Please use only rice.
• Switch version confirmed: Currently working properly. Many players have reported that only rice can be used underwater.

Harvested rice can be used for cooking (rice balls) and livestock feed. You can earn tens of thousands of Dinks in one season.

This one underwater field solves half of the farming problem. Next, let's move on to resource recovery tricks.

2. Get a large amount of rare tools for free in the recycled box! The key is to increase John's friendship level.

Are you worried about inventory pressure due to overflowing junk items in mines and caves? Recycle Box is a free gacha device that allows you to collect rare items thrown away by residents. It is a divine item that brings out expensive tools such as chainsaws and tree pinchers. Checking once a day will drastically change your early money plan. The Switch version also works stably.

Full advantage! Why recycling bins are essential

• High rarity: Chainsaws, special furniture, clothes, food, etc. will appear. If you sell it, it will be worth tens of thousands of Dinks.
• Infinite collection: New items appear every day (except Thursday empty).
• Junk disposal: Free up space by storing unnecessary items.
• Multiple installations OK: Only one is generated, but it is useful for distributing bases.

There are no disadvantages. The only hurdle is increasing John's friendship level, but it's very easy.

Preparation and crafting

• John friendship level 4 hearts: After John settles in, you can raise it through gifts (favorite things: fish, insects) and conversations. It can be reached in one week.

2. Check daily: Open first thing in the morning. Item appearance rate is 70% (30% empty).
3. Collection: Collect rare items immediately and sell or use them. I feel refreshed by adding junk.
4. Reset: Wednesday night empty → no Thursday → new appearance on Friday.
5. Optimization: You can create a gacha village with multiple boxes. The appearance rate may increase as the number of residents increases.

Examples and tips

• Many players have reported that “The chainsaw appeared! God!”
• Note: Input items will disappear. Please do not put valuables in. Skip Thursday.

This will eliminate the lack of tools. Next is the savior of transportation.

Even if you collect 100 stones from the mine, won't it be hell to transport them out? This hand trolley eliminates such problems. Since you can carry a fully loaded chest, you can bring back a large amount of resources in one round trip. You can return to the base immediately with the trolley + teleporter.

Practical Tips

• Mine loop: chest installation → mining full → exit with trolley → teleport.

2. Get the tool in the recycling box → buy the trolley.
3. Transporting mine resources with a trolley → base expansion → increase in residents → box rare UP.

With this cycle, you can break through to the middle stage in one week. A fully automated farm can also be realized by using sprinklers (irrigation license).
