New dCity Citizen Mining Meta - still getting big APR (200+%) on small cities!

I have been playing around with my dCity.io tokens again after the most recent update, for those of you who haven't heard, the math behind the popularity boost to population has changed, and now popularity will have a slightly smaller effect.

This is a small step to a series of larger nerfs to popularity, with an added bonus that it changes the meta each time, rewarding players who pay attention more than those who don't.

So since I have updated my citizen mining meta city - I wanted to share it with all of you! This is a great small city to start with for new players! If you wanted to get into dCity but didn't want to spend a lot of money - this is the strategy for you!

Citizen mining

Remember that what we are aiming for is a homeless or immigrant token as much as once per day. The market for these citizens is still strong, as cities with job centers can train them into even more valuable tokens.

Since it is based on probabilities, we cannot be sure to get a citizen token every single day, but we can get pretty close to 95% of days if we beat 350 popularity. This new meta city is even better than the old 33 park and 14 art that we were using before (333 popularity)

Without further ado - the new meta:

That's right, 36 park and 15 art will work just fine, and we even have a 1.9% chance of mining background tokens now. (1.8% previously).

This meta will only be working perfectly for a short time, it is unknown when @gerber will lower the bonus from ^0.68 to ^0.66, which will once again change the meta-city makeup.

We are going all the way down to ^0.6, so keep savvy players and keep an eye on the @dcitygame account, or the dCity discord.

This city is currently valued at 8618 sim by city helper.... let's look at the 'buy it now price' on the market.

35 parks will cost you as much as 4900 sim at 140 sim per each.

and 15 art galleries could cost as much as 450 sim each, or 6750 sim.

Let's use then 11650 as the total cost for this city, but always remember that aprs are better if you get a better price!

Looking at the homeless and immigrant markets, I am surprised and happy to see them this high. If we can get a token sellable for ~80 sim at least 95% of days, this means our expected citizen mining income over the course of a year would be 27740 sim.

This translates to 238% non-compounded APR.

Again this could be even higher if you get the cards for cheaper, perhaps by putting in some market bids.

11650 sim can be purchased for ~6.7 HIVE on BeeSwap at the time of posting. This represents less than 11 dollars when HIVE is at $1.60 usd price.

If you think you might enjoy a math based token game, but you don't have a ton of time or money to put into it, dCity might just be right for you, with strategies at different sizes, including this very small 'starter city' with very high APRs!

If you are new to HIVE, make sure to get HIVE keychain wallet.
