Let's grow some lovely vegetables with these tips.

Dinkum is a farm simulator game that has been popping off on Steam ever since its launch with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. Just like any farming game, it features chopping trees, hunting, mining, fishing, catching animals using animal traps, and most importantly, plantation.

This game has a special mechanic to plant seeds that are quite different from any other game. In Dinkum, you can plant seeds for trees, bushes, fruits, and vegetables. There are a ton of Milestones in the game related to this activity that can help you get lots of currency required to acquire different licenses. Other than that, your products can be sold for a handsome amount of Dinks.

An advantage to having trees and fruits planted in a designated spot is that you can collect them whenever you want, and you don't have to make a trip to a faraway land to get a specific item. Planting a seed in Dinkum is a fairly simple process, but it has some requirements.

There are two methods that you can use to plant a seed in the game, and they require different residents. The first method requires you to have John in your world, who arrives on the second day no matter what. The second one needs a visit from Rayne to your world, which is RNG based.

Once you start the game, Fletch will ask you to build a visitor site near the temporary town hall. John will land on this site on the second day, and he'll bring a bunch of basic tools that you can buy. For this method, you will need to buy a Shovel from John. Here are all the steps to planting a seed using this:

After doing all this, your seed will be planted, and you need to wait for it to grow. You need to water the spot to take the seed to the next growth but if you don't have any means to do that, you'll have to wait for a rainy day.

This is an easier and more sophisticated method to plant seeds that will actually give you the feeling of farming. Although, this method requires you to either have Rayne as a visitor or as one of the permanent residents in your town.

Once you've done enough tasks for John, you'll be able to unlock a deed to get John a permanent place. Once that is built, more visitors will come to your town at random. Rayne is one of these visitors, and she excels at farming. You can buy a Hoe, different seeds, and a Watering Can from her.

If you're lucky enough to get Rayne in your town early on, here are the steps to planting a seed using this method:

Once the seed is planted, you can water it every day using a Watering Can you bought from Rayne. This will make the growth process much faster since you don't have to rely on the randomness of rain.

This method is definitely the better one if you want to plant a lot of seeds and take care of an actual farm. The only problem with it is that sometimes Rayne might not even visit your world for a long time. So, if she has set foot in your town, make sure you buy the required items from her if you can't make a permanent residence for her yet.

It is also recommended to put a fence around your farm to prevent any trouble from wild animals. The blueprint for a wooden fence can be unlocked early on in the game.
