Dinkum Farming: The Ultimate Guide

by Falagar / Dinkum, Game Guides / 19 Mar 2022

One of the most important aspects of Dinkum is farming where players get to grow their own crops. However, there isn’t much information in-game about farming, which may leave some fans perplexed about how this mechanic works. The good news is that farming in Dinkum is fairly easy, and this guide will help you to get started.

First of all, you will need to purchase a hoe, a watering can and some seeds from the NPC named Rayne in order to create a field to grow crops. She sells all the various tools and seeds required to get started. In order to build the fruit orchards, you will also need a basic shovel that you can buy from John. After you get the right supplies from Rayne and have a farming license, you can use the hoe to till the soil in a field. Place the seeds in your hand and right-click them into the soil to sew them and, finally, you must water them every day to make sure that they grow.

You can easily fill up your watering can by any river just by left-clicking it and it might be a very good idea to put a fence around your crops as well to prevent animals from accidentally wandering in and destroying it.
