dCity Progress Update #23

Introduction
Good day to everyone, hope everyone is doing ok. It's time again to do a progress check on my city and see how much it grown. I was also looking through the whole list of cards that I could possibly add to my city to further grow my city.

What is dCity?
The game is a city simulator game based on Hive NFTs where one can create a city the way we want it to be. As players develop and grow their cities, optimization is needed in terms of buildings, city population, the income that the city yields and technological developments. While many aspects of the game can be calculated based on the simulator within the game, there is a portion of randomness in the form of crisis event which can bring different kind of impact to city which affects income or popularity. If you like the original SimCity, I am sure you will like this.

My City
The below screenshot is how my city looks like at this moment:

I was contemplating with getting a Wind Turbine which was recommended by my mentor Ryosai but after thinking through for a longer basis building up of income, getting one of my favourite trio of Ice Cream Shop, Music Store or Barber Shop seem to be a much better idea in terms of the worker to income ratio. Though that comes at a much higher price than the Wind Turbine. Otherwise, city looks fine at present but certainly need more development to keep it growing.

New Citizens Type Released
I was catching up on the changes on the game and realized that there is actually 2 new citizen types that have been added to the pool of citizen types that we can obtain upon paying off the debt of students.

Just like how in the cartoon Anamaniacs always shouted, "Helloooo Nurse", the nurse card looks really amazing. And this card is an important for those whom want to hold on to more Young Citizens for them to pop into new citizens but needing to suppress social support cost. So far in the market, only bids but no sales.

Next is Addict. Currently I did not observe any combine recipe for it and it does come with some nasty negative stats. At this moment, I not sure what can it be used for. But in the market, we have massive sellers at high price but low bidding price.

This certainly tells us that Nurse application is already well looked at and many people are dying to get a copy of it if possible. For Addict, we probably need a little more time to observe what will be the purpose of it. Are you excited about having more new citizens that can be minted upon paying off student debt?

At this juncture, these are the citizens (13 of them) that can appear after paying off the debt:

Scientists
Workers
Hard Workers
Homeless
Policemen
Soldiers
Eco Activists
Economists
Professors
Lawyers
Tax Collectors
Nurses
Addicts

I have 2 students that I am holding onto and waiting for them to go into adulthood. What will they become? Only time will tell. But I do hope I can get lucky to either land a Nurse, Lawyer or Tax Collector.

Current SIM Holdings
At the moment of writing, the current amount of SIM I am holding has reached 209,001 SIM. I started collecting Young Citizens and selling them to continue building up my SIM asset.

Why Hold SIM?
This is reminder to all that holding SIM (or commonly known as SIM Power) brings about daily liquid hive if one having above 8000 SIM Power. SIM Power is calculated by the from the 30 days average SIM holdings.

With the increase in SIM in my Hive Engine, the 30 day average of my SIM power will continue to increase and then translate to move liquid Hive earning per day. Amount of liquid Hive per day based on current 30 day average is as seen below:

Assuming no increase in Sim Power, I will get 0.96 liquid Hive per month. The numbers continue to increase and building towards the goal I had for using the liquid Hive to fund for Hive Power Up Day as we inch towards a 1 Hive per month from just this earning. At this moment, it look a little too small and insignificant to being able to get 10 Hive per month, however as I continue to grow, one day I know I will reach there.

Closing
It's amazing to see continuous development to the game and adding more realism to the game so that we can see different effects to the city. More fun, more surprises and more things to tinker around to optimize the city. Thank you to the developers for the continuous efforts to make this game awesome!

Special thanks to @ryosai for always answering my questions on the game, guiding me through with your patience and even helping me with my city growth.

Looking forward to the journey of growing the city!
