Dinkum: Ways To Plant Seeds For Farming

Fans of the simulation genre have been enjoying the treat that is Dinkum. You are in charge of an island where you have to build everything from the beginning.

Players have to be farming, building stuff, and even completing tasks around the island as they enjoy. For farming, you will have to learn how to plant seeds that have a couple of options.

Given the important status of farming in the game, it is imperative to know all about it. In that regard, the following guide will help players find and plant seeds in Dinkum. 

Dinkum - Planting seeds

Dinkum: How to get Excavation License and shovel

These are the steps to follow when you are looking for License and the tool: 

  • Players have to talk with Fletch in the Base Tent in order to buy the Excavation License 
  • It will cost 500 Permit Points, which can be got through finishing Milestones present around the island
  • After getting the Excavation License, you will have to buy a shovel from John, the shop owner
  • The other way to plant seeds is by getting a Farming License for 250 Permit Points and a hoe, instead of a shovel. The hoe will be found with Rayne, who is another visitor of the island.

Once you have the license and tool, it is time to start the planting journey. You will find seeds from Rayne, who will sell them to you. Additionally, seeds can also be found by cutting bushes, trees, and grass. For this, you will need a Logging License and an axe.
