dCity Progress Update #34

Introduction
Good day to everyone, as we approach Christmas in a few days, hope you are done with all your Christmas shopping and getting ready to spend quality time with your family. It's been a week and time to take stock and check out how my city is doing. It has also been a while since I had students graduating and thankfully we have one today!

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:

Some changes in happened and my daily earning of SIM started to drop. Instead of being able to get approximately nearing 70 SIM per day, it dropped to only jut 61 which is probably due to some changes done by the president. However, count on the citizens and buildings did not change while I had a new graduant who have just joined the workforce. This is something that I have not had for a long time and I really hope more of my students can join the workforce and bolster the economy as we go on to growing the city.

I do hope this new graudant will bring about the popping of other students into the workforce and we will be able to reduce the -1 income from each student and boost up the SIM earning.

Wind turbine sets had no change this week with no purchase on these sets. As we steady up, I will push more layer 2 tokens into SIM and make the purchases accordingly.

Long Awaited New Citizen

It's been quite a while since I had any students become working adults and when I saw it pop up on my notification, I was so glad that it happened. Then when I paid the debt, was so glad to see it becoming an Eco-activist which help us well in tax refund.

And this is one part of my wind turbine set which I am really thankful. I do hope I can have more of the students becoming working adults and preferably ones that increase tax refunds. I do think I will need to push myself a little more to grow the city and get into a better position for SIM holdings which will further improve my daily liquid SIM drop.

Current SIM Holdings
At the moment of writing, the current amount of SIM I am holding has reached 272,831 SIM. SIM increase mainly coming from Young Citizen sales for this week and also some layer 2 token swaps while I prepared funds for paying the debt. While I am still quite far off from that 1m SP, I am still trying my best to increase the SIM holdings and also crank up as many un-used layer 2 tokens into SIM.

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 1.14 liquid Hive per month which is an addition to what we have compared to previous weeks as I continue to build up what I have on my SIM. The only way to get more Hive passive coming in is to continue to build the SIM power. This amount earned passively will actually aid me in my goal where I am hoping that with this continuous building of the passive liquid hive accumulation, and when the goal is hit, I will be able to fully fund for the minimum hive power up requirement for Hive Power Up of 10 HP solely from this. And this will need me to be able to accumulate 0.333 Hive per day in order to do so. Right now, while I am only 10% completed from my goal, I am still thankful to be able to hit this achievement.

Closing
Bit by bit and getting more citizens and building up more buildings then subsequently working on more combining to get stronger cards with tax refunds or other abilities will certainly help my city to grow. It is a long journey in city building and as the saying goes, Rome wasn't build in a day. I will continue on my current plans and try my best to accelerate them accordingly.

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