Dcity Wrong calculation of SIM lost due to crime (ENG/ITA)
@gerber this post is for you
Today I opened the DCity notifications to find out how much I had earned during the day and I found an error.
Description of the error
The notification says I earned 754 SIMs and a crime caused me to lose 249.
Going to check the manual, I found it written: when crime happens, your city can be robbed for 5% of its daily income.
I went to see my daily income and found 1003.
5% of 1003 is:
1003 * 5 / 100 = 50 SIM
But I lost 249, 5 times what I should have lost!
So I thought about why, so I tried to calculate 5% of the basic income:
5073 * 5 / 100 = 253
Which comes very close to 249.
Therefore crime is not calculated on daily income, but on basic income. This means losing 100% to 500% more than what is written in the manual.
Resolve the error
According to the manual, 5% is to be calculated from daily income (the tokens actually earned at the end of the day) and not from basic income.
Therefore, one of the following solutions can be adopted:
- Change the manual by replacing daily income with basic income
- Change the calculation of stolen income to 5% of daily income
In my opinion the best solution is number 2 for the following reason: all the buildings that lower crime except one are first edition and can no longer be bought out of the market.

Oggi ho aperto le notifiche di DCity per sapere quanto avessi guadagnato durante la giornata e ho trovato un errore.
Descrizione dell'errore
La notifica dice che ho guadagnato 754 SIM e un crimine me ne ha fatti perdere 249.
Andando a controllare il manuale, ho trovato scritto: quando il crimine accade, la tua città può essere derubata per il 5% del suo reddito giornaliero.
Sono andato a vedere il mio reddito giornaliero e ho trovato 1003.
Il 5% di 1003 è:
1003 * 5 / 100 = 50 SIM
Ma io ne ho persi 249, 5 volte di quanto avrei dovuto perdere!
Ho quindi pensato al motivo, allora ho provato a calcolare il 5% del reddito base:
5073 * 5 / 100 = 253
Che si avvicina molto a 249.
Perciò il crimine non è calcolato sul reddito giornaliero, ma sul reddito base. Ciò vuol dire perdere dal 100% al 500% in più rispetto a quanto scritto nel manuale.
Risoluzione dell'errore
Secondo il manuale, il 5% è da calcolare a partire dal reddito giornaliero (i token effettivamente guadagnati a fine giornata) e non dal reddito base.
Perciò occorre adottare una delle seguenti soluzioni:
- Cambiare il manuale sostituendo reddito giornaliero a reddito base
- Cambiare il calcolo del reddito derubato al 5% del reddito giornaliero
Secondo me la soluzione migliore è la numero 2 per il seguente motivo: tutti gli edifici che abbassano la criminalità eccetto uno sono prima edizione e non possono più essere acquistati fuori dal mercato.

Relax, you even worked out where your assumptions were incorrect (hats off, most people posting like this never do). Your proposition is based on words that only exist inside your head.
Thanks for your answer, I was hoping in a comment from a DCity Vip. Do you know a contact of DCity support? I don't want to publish posts about errors or something incorrect made by me. It's a bad thing publishing that type of content but I have no choice because DCity support doesn't exists. Can you give me a contact, please?
However, this post was created to address an error in the manual or simulation, not to criticize. Otherwise I would never have written it
Sure, the dCity user interface has a couple of links at the bottom and the Discord server (very left bottom) is the way to reach support (not saying that is the optimum user experience).
As for the follow-up comment, there is no error. There is probably a better way to word it unambigously but there is no error.
Ambigous is the better word to describe it. The point is: an ambigous manual make an ambigous game, then distrust and rage in new players. That's to avoid in a good game like DCity
L'ho letto. È proprio quello che ho postato io. Qui si legge che il crimine ruba il 5% del reddito, non il 24,82%.
Non possiedo nessuno degli edifici elencati in questa foto, perciò non posso essere derubato ulteriormente
will go for that
I can assure you there is more mistakes like that in manual and it was already checked by 20 people. It's hard to maybe not write at start, but update properly with all the micro changes that happen meantime.
Jelly13 told me where to find DCity support. Next time I'll contact you directly
