I started an experiment to grow a dCity using nothing but an initial investment of 10 HIVE and reinvesting the SIM earnings in additional cards.
Plan for My City
This city and series of posts is going to be for people looking to get involved on a low budget. I'm going to target around 10 HIVE, or about $1.50 total investment (at the start of this project), and then will track the growth of the city and income over time.
First Re-Investment Made Today
Today my little city finally had earned enough SIM to purchase another Job Center. It wasn't totally just earned SIM though as I sold a few extra mined people to earn some additional SIM. The high tax rates have really slowed the cities grow rate such that I've been mining more people than I would need to run the new job center so by selling them off I was able to speed up the purchase by a fair bit.
City Snapshot
Mining People
As I've said, I've had good luck mining people such that I actually had more people than needed to run the city. After selling a few to get some extra SIM I still have one extra person who I have on the market at a crazy high price so that he doesn't impact my SIM earnings due to unemployment. I will do that with any additional mined people until I get close to being able to afford the next job center.
SIM Earnings
The tax rates have been heading down over the last few weeks, and my city is now earning 10 SIM per day. It will be some time before I can purchase another job center so I will just keep holding my earnings, and putting any mined people on the market to keep them from impacting my earnings.
Slow Growth Phase
So here I am, on day 46 just making my first re-investment. Seems like a bit of a waste of time no? Well, that is the trick with exponential growth. Seems slow at first and then grows like crazy later on. I knew it would be slow and this city is strictly an experiment.
I will post again in a week or so until then I hope everyone hangs in there and the high tax rates continue to drop.
