Dinkum is in Early Access and is therefore subject to change. Information in this guide may be out of date depending on the build of the game.
Learning how to mine will be one of your first quests in Dinkum. In fact, you will learn how to extract precious metals before you learn how to do pretty much anything. To Mine, however, a few things are required.
