dCity - SIM Token vs SIM Power
Since I am just getting start back with dCity, I am researching all of the different post about this game. I found this post informative and will narrow my actions going forward.
https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@ecoinstant/get-started-with-dcity-beginners-guide
SIM POWER
The SIM token is the main currency of dCity. The whole tokenomics of the game is centered around the SIM token. Most of the post that I have read mention the importance of holding SIM tokens. They also mentioned that the game moves slowly so don't rush the building of your dCity.
So with this in mind, I will be working to build my SIM token holdings.
I also learned that by holding at least 8,000 SIM Power, you can participate in the "Holding Rewards" which are distributed daily. The Holding Rewards are paid in HIVE.
I had to dig into this a little more to understand the different between SIM Power and SIM Token holdings. They terms are similar but not the same because I could hold 8,000 SIM tokens and still not have any SIM POWER.
SIM Power is a calculation based on an average 30 days SIM holdings snapshot.
So my first priority is to increase my SIM token holdings up to 8,000 + tokens. Then it will taken a little longer so that the average of my holdings over a 30 day time period to reflect 8,000.
But the first step is getting additional SIM Tokens. I used some extra funds I had and purchased as many as possible. Last week I had 17 SIM tokens, I increased my holdings to 1998.686 SIM.
DCITY GOVERNANCE
Most might not be aware but there is a dCity Government. Those with SIM Power are able to vote and influence the game mechanics.
Election
Periodically, a new President is elected. The office of President will change in 6 days.
There are currently 5 players running for President. However, I was a little surprised that only 49 players have voted on the President. So if you have SIM Power and have not yet voted, you may be able to make a difference in the election of the next dCity President.
Lobby
Another way you can use your SIM Power to influence the game is by voting or lobbying on these four topics:
- Income Tax Reduction
- Ranking Rewards
- War Tax
- Holding Rewards
I am just now learning about all of these different terms and items in the game so for now I not go into any details on how they influence game play.
Ranking Rewards
A third area SIM Power is used is in the Ranking Rewards. Ranking Rewards are paid out on a daily basis based on your Rank in the following five areas:
- Income
- Population
- Popularity
- Education
- Creativity
Your vote can influence how each one of these areas are weighted when Ranking Rewards are calculated and paid out.
dCity Progress
Last week, I added a farm to my dCity. By adding the farm, I was able to "Perfectly Balance" my population between employed and unemployed.
I also noticed my income changed to a negative. I did have a Zero income, now it is negative 2. I do not know what to do at this point in time to get it back in the positive. I will keep reading post but in the meantime, I will keep growing my SIM token holdings until I have my SIM Power over 8,000.
Interesting to hear the game has many levers to play with.

Yes, there are so many levers to adjust. It is all very confusing until I learn a lot more.

@adcreatordesign, sorry! You need more $ALIVE to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 1000.0 ALIVE staked.
More $ALIVE is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
Are you using the simulation option? It's a great way to test the effects of any cards on your city. I'd say you would need a card with income to get your income back to positive.

I work with the simulator to try and pick the cards I should add next. However, I need to save up some more funds since it shows that I need to get a couple otherwise they are inactive. Since I have now chosen to focus on accumulating my SIM holding to greater than 8,000 so that I have SIM Power, this will delay me adding additional cards. One goal at a time while I get the funds together. I also have learned how to pull up and look at others dcity, I think this will also help me pick which cards to add next. Take care.

After a short period of time, I've understood that dCity is not a fast-paced game. 😄 Rome wasn't built in a day and so on. But I kinda like the fact that it's more like a marathon!
All the best to you and your city!

Thanks for sharing this information. I haven't ever done anything with dcity. Maybe I will have a look at it again sometime.

I have been playing DCity since it was a discord based game, and you know what? I still don't "get it."
Especially cause they keep adding new features. Like, Priests? That reminds me, I need a church.
I believe (90% sure) you lost your income because all of your citizens are employed, when you have unemployed population, you get a tax refund of sorts.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe you can help me, how can i transfer the SIM i have on hive engine to to SIM power in dcity. I couldnt figure it out. 🙈

I had the understanding the SIM you were holding would show up as SIM power as a 30 day average of your holding. I am not aware that we have to do anything for this to happen. It states it will happen at the time of the snapshot. I will be researching this because mine has not showed up either. But I will find out.
