In the farming and life sim called Dinkum, players head to a deserted island to start a new town. This island will have four different biomes all with unique materials that players can build with. One of these items is the Mangrove Stick.

To the Tropics of Dinkum

In order to find Mangrove Sticks, bananas, and scrub turkeys in the Animal Crossing-like game Dinkum, players will have to head to the Tropic biome. The dock (and presumably a player's settlement) will be in the starting biome, Bushlands. To the southwest will be the Pine Forest, to the west the desert, and the northwest will hold the Tropics. It should be safe enough for players to just walk there, but make sure to keep an eye out for dangerous critters like alligators.

Where to Find Mangrove Trees in Dinkum

Look for water in the Tropic biome. While water is mostly good for fishing in Dinkum, players will also find the right trees to make Mangrove Sticks there. These trees will have wide roots and will always be in, under, or near the rivers and lakes that make up a large portion of players' islands.

Once the right kind of tree is located, Dinkum players will need a standard axe to cut it down. This can be purchased from John's tent or store for 1,000 Dinks as long as the player has the necessary logging license from Fletch. Players will also be able to eventually make their own axes out of basic axes and copper, or copper axes and iron.

Pick up the Mangrove sticks by using the right mouse button, and don't forget to also cut down the roots if they are reachable; this will yield even more sticks for future projects. And these are ready to use as they are; unlike Dinkum's palm wood, hard wood, and gum wood, the Mangrove Sticks don't need to be sawed to be useful.

Crafting Recipes that Require Mangrove Sticks

Mangrove Sticks are used for several things in the life simulation gameDinkum. These include:

  • Simple Traps - These basic traps will help the player nab some wild animals to keep for themselves. These are made with one Tin Bar, eight Mangrove Sticks, and one Old Spring.
  • Torches - This basic wooden torch will help to light the way. Players can make them using just one Mangrove Stick.
  • Wooden Signs - These are used to display items inside the player's home or around town. The ingredients for these are one Hard Wood Plank, one Gum Wood Plank, two Nails, and one Mangrove Stick each.

Dinkum is in early access for PC.
