dCity Investments - weekly update

My weekly update about the strategic choices I made for my two dcities

I’ve been writing about several aspects of dcity so far, but I would like to add to that a weekly update about changes that I have made. Tutorials are great for understanding a certain aspect of the game, but along side these it is great to also be able to get insights on day-to-day strategic choices from players that are a bit further ahead in the game. That is what I will try to provide you with in these weekly updates.

Currently I have two dcities. One on my main account @elbrava, which you can find here. My aim for this city is to simply grow as fast as possible and enter the top200 of dcities. This will likely require me to invest more money to make that happen.

My other dcity is for my @invest4free account, which you can find here. This second account I set up specifically to show that through being active on Hive, you can become an investor for free. You will actually be able to build an investment portfolio that will generate passive income for you through being active on hive.

This weeks developments are:
@elbrava

Last week was awesome for me, even though we did see record high taxes, reducing income to about 20% of the base income for those players that do not have a Law Firm. Luckily I do and at 80% tax, this is a tax reduction of 8%. For this dcity the tax reduction was almost 250 SIM, making my Law Firm my best earning card.

But the reason my week was excellent, was that I got a tier 3 technology! Cold Fusion. This removed the negative popularity of my Nuclear Plants, so I was able to sell two Apartments and convert that into more farms :)

I will make sure to unlock more tier 4 and 5 technologies in the tech tree, because I would love to get some of those.

I have been thinking about maximizing my Homeless and Immigrants training. But as Workers are now often the same price as Homeless, it just doesn’t make much sense if you plan on selling the trained Workers.

A dcity that is focused on getting max population for the rankings, that would keep the Workers as nice free labour it would make a lot more sense. But for me, as I simply try to get my hands on as much SIM as possible, it currently does not make much sense.

The 3rd edition, if it ever comes out might change this a lot, but for now I will wait and check the prices from time to time to see if it changes.

For this dcity the taxes were tough, but I still continued buying Farms whenever I could. And for this dcity I also have a Law Firm, so I was again happy to see the tax reduction from that card. Here the reduction was a lot smaller ofcourse, but still significant.

I have also decided to move the Park’s that my @elbrava dcity does not need anymore to this dcity, to boost the Popularity a bit. That way I don’t have to buy as many Luxury Home cards with the Farms and Hotels I buy.

If you have any questions about your dcity about how to improve it, how to grow it more quickly or any other question. Please do ask in the comments. I try to always give a response.

Thanks for reading, do follow me for more dcity and investment content and see you next time!

If you would like to start investing in dcity, because it is fun and very profitable. Or you want to get more hive to increase your investment. Then why not start a Risingstar account?

Risingstar is completely free and once you start leveling up it starts to take less time with bigger rewards. As soon as you hit level 20 you can start to withdraw your Starbits and convert them to SIM that you could invest in dcity. The combination of these two games is a really solid way to generate funds that you can use to invest in other things.

It is a very fun game, with a lively market for the NFT cards that you get while playing. So along with earning Starbits, you will also get cards that you can sell for any Hive-engine token you like.

Check the game out here, I am sure that you won’t regret it.
