dCity Progress Update #28

Introduction
Good day to everyone, hope everyone is doing alright. I am so glad the week had come to a close as it had been such a hectic week for me. And it brings me joy to share on the city development progress on my city with the community.

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:

The challenge between me and @tarabh continues as I've now accumulated 8 wind turbines, haven't check exactly how many he has, but I am sure he is nearer to the goal than myself. The wind turbine strategy was shared to me by my mentor @ryosai and I am slowly working towards gathering the components needed to complete a wind farm. Right now, I will need another 17 more wind turbine. As mentioned in the previous post, I am adopting the step by step growth instead of one shot buying everything kind of strategy. So hopefully I can really own a wind farm in the near future.

Currently, the daily income has broken into the 60 SIM region which I am really thankful after strengthening the city with more wind turbines. In terms of unemployment rate, I have also net zero it to prevent further burden onto the social aid portion which will significantly reduce the daily income. Didn't I would be able to come this far since the start of the year to see a more developed city. Let's continue to keep watch on possible new strategies while I continue to journey on the wind farm building.

Faster Education?
I am really glad that many of my young citizens have progressed into school life and are currently students. But somehow all of them are stuck at this stage with no one graduated thus far and now I have a total of 16 students which do have significant impact on my daily SIM income.

In the last post, I was looking at professor card which has a special ability to improve the graduation time for a student. So I went to look further to search for other possible cards that can help me accelerate this process.

In the FAQ, I saw that increasing University Campuses will improve training probability. So I went to look at what exactly is a University Campus.

Ingredients: 1x Construction Site, 10x University, 2x Laboratory, 1x Office, 1x Parking, 2x Public Restrooms, 2x Free Internet Connection

Estimated price of each item based on market as of writing:
Construction Site - 2100 SIM
University - 2345 SIM
Laboratory - 48777 SIM
Office - 1848 SIM
Parking - 2100 SIM
Public Restrooms - 23456 SIM
Free Internet Connection - 10000 SIM

Wow that is one hefty amount of SIM needed to combine and form university campus. I will think that this will probably for some whom have big assets to utilize such univeristy campus. There is currently none on sale in the market, so I guess I will either have to wait for something to appear else, I will continue the waiting game and hope for the students to pop. Or alternatively, get more professors whom can also reduce taxes.

Current SIM Holdings
At the moment of writing, the current amount of SIM I am holding has reached 242,836 SIM. I didn't had a lot of young citizen sale for this week so the increase mainly came from 2nd layer token sales to fund SIM tokens. Because of the balance needed to ensure good income, I needed the young citizens to stay rather than selling them off.

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 dropped a little probably due to pricing fluctuations, but in general, it is still 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
There is so much more to discover in the game especially the combined buildings that will give very unique abilities which can aid the city growth but they do not come cheap. So key is really to steadily build up the city and then work on these combined building once we are more stabilized.

Looking forward to the journey of growing the city as it matures and progresses!
