      Eventually when you level up your Farming, Fletch will sell the next level license to you. That license has a crafting recipe for the composter which you can use poo in

      Using multiple shovels speeds up terraforming. place like 5 shovels in toolbelt, fill them all up, then move to other place and empty them.
      You can dive to pick um mussels and such from underwater
      Planting fruit is much faster if you first place down fruit, then use shovel to dig below it, and just cover it with that same dirt. You can do this for a bunch of fruit in advance, go around, drop fruits (if making orchard), then just run around again and dig below them and cover them.
      To get "seeds" from bushes (flower) and cactus, you have to cut them down. There is no way to plant mangrove trees, but they respawn quick
      Before upgrading Axe you can get hardwood planks by sawing "bottle tree" logs (from those trees that look like baobab tree)

    If you stay up late (past 12) time stops, but your stamina greatly reduced. Use this period to do your cooking of food to prep for selling the next day. Also when you start, time does not start until after you have placed both the base tent and your own tent. Therefore hold off placing these until you have fully explored the world. Forage as you go, and collect water based food (eg mussels and crabs). That way you can start with lots of levels, and permit points (Eg level 20 forage, level 2 fishing ) and have identified where resources are. Also collect bananas and coconuts to set up early money making orchards.

    @murphychurch8251 2 года назад +8

    If I were to start again, I would build the bulletin board before building John's shop. The bulletin board is, if I remember correctly, 10k to pay off. It doesn't take much time to pay this off and you can get quests through it that bring in money. If you build John's shop first, it takes a while until you have paid off the town debts and are able to build the bulletin board, so I'd do that one first.

    • @shadowweaver1599
      @shadowweaver1599 9 месяцев назад

      Agreed I made shop first but I was confused and saved up enough money to pay for shop and had enough fo4 bulletin board also now working on museum debt.

    At 17:23 you can get hardwood in early game with a basic axe by cutting the bottle trees. If I remember correctly they drop a bit less logs than the pine trees but enough for what I needed. They were in in the plains/desert in the middle of my island, but location might vary in every map.

So many funny fails where you even tried to teach us how to plant grass but just learned that you couldn't on sand xD small things like that just created such an entertaining video for me to watch. Thank you so much! It made my day! You are very enthusiastic and it just seems like you enjoy the game a alot, which then hypes me up more to continue to play and learn the game! Keep up the great content!

    Keyboard and mouse it's "Q" to drop.
    John and Fish Fingers is the same pain in the rear as the cement!
    A Quick way to get 50K a day (some game re-logs required to respawn the animals) Have animal drop off points on your character along with 10 Metal Traps. Find the Bush Devil, Crock and Mu spawn points place a Animal drop off point close to the spawn locations, place a couple of traps down near it, have the hostile animals to follow you; soon as it's in the trap quickly pick it up and dump it off in the drop off: you have 3 - 5 seconds.
    A Hostile Mu is 8.6K, Bush Devil is 9.6K and a Crock is 12K. Happy hunting everyone.
    Tip for the Alpha Bush Devil: Eat 3 cooked Crock Meat and have a copper spear, when it stops to make it's special attack get behind/to the side of it and attack 3x then jump out of the way.

    Not sure if someone else has been mentioned this, but I find that planting trees is easier if you drop the fruit or seed and then change to your shovel, you shovel out the dirt/sand from underneath the fruit/seed and the immediately replace it.

    THANK YOU for explaining the bags of cement and the friendships! I played my first time yesterday on stream and for the LIFE of me could not figure out WHERE/HOW to "mine" him a bag of cement! I spent HOURS and never got him past a quarter of a heart and then would lose it again :/ because he keeps wanting cement and clothing? also fun note he asked for any old furniture I had. then he refused to take my sleeping bag :/ which I would have thought was furniture. so yeah....

    • @FetchQuestsYT
      @FetchQuestsYT  2 года назад

      Look at you willing to give your very own sleeping bag away!
      Yes I do not have any furniture either so I kept having to decline those requests.
      Keep in mind if they ask for something and you know you can't do it, it's okay to say no.
      But if you do say no and change your mind, they will no longer have a request for you :)

    There’s a trick to fishing. When the fish is freaking out, tap the mouse button instead of holding it or letting it go completely; that keeps the fish from pulling too much line while also keeping the line from breaking. Once he’s done freaking out, reel it in; fishing motion should be (tap, tap…reel, tap, tap…reel…). There’s probably a quicker way to fish, but I’ve found this way to be quick and effective enough

    Not sure if this is in here but if you take yours dinks and put them all in inventory slot or a chest at base, you don't lose a percentage of them if you die. Especially good early game when you will probably die a lot from things like sharks and crodiles they are very aggressive.

    Pausing the game... you can kind of do this after you sleep, but do not click through the accomplishments for the day (prior to waking up). Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think you continue to wake up at 7:00 regardless of how long you wait on that screen.

    I am a few days into Dinkum and I just learned that I am apparently very lucky to have gotten the axe upgrade early. Not sure how to unlock it, but I did chopped a lot trees.
    Dropping on keyboard is Q. I tried to plant one of those flowers, Billy sButtons. It didn't sprout out like the trees, but it has the bury tag. Do you need a special tool for it or just trust it will sprout by using a shovel?

    • @FetchQuestsYT
      @FetchQuestsYT  2 года назад

      Very impressive that you got the axe upgrade!
      With flowers like Billy buttons and the blue flowers too, I found you just press the action button over dirt and they’ll be planted!
      They do say “bury” but for some reason you don’t bury them like tree seeds. Just plop them on the dirt ☺️

    • @piperbird7193
      @piperbird7193 2 года назад +2

      You get upgrades by raising your skill level. If you used the axe a lot, you raised your level a lot, so you got the upgrade recipe. It would be the same with whichever tool you used a lot.
      For the flowers, you don't actually bury them in a hole, but you just place them, the same way you do with grass seed. If you chop the wattle bushes, you'll get wattle seeds to plant. Plant a lot of these near your camp. Not only do they sell for a lot, but once you get the keg you can brew with them, and then that sells for a ton.

    I found you can pause the game, but it’s relatively complicated and not native to the game lol
    Bring up Task Manager -> Click the Performance tab -> Click Open Resource Monitor at the bottom -> Click CPU tab in Resource Monitor -> sort by Image so processes are in alphabetical order -> Right click dinkum.exe and Suspend Process
    When you’re done, just resume the dinkum.exe process. Convoluted but it works if you want to pause and go cook something and not have to sleep and exit the game
