Getting Started with dCity - Day 2

Yesterday I have posted about Getting Started With dCity Game, and I must tell you that this game is too addictive. So yesterday as you can see below I have had income as 2 SIM whereas there were 87 people to hire for my city. Also, the probability of getting new Citizens every 2 hours was 2%.

I tried to improve it today, first thing what I have done is to buy 5 random cards from the market. The buy was successful as I got 2 Factory, 1 Apartment, 1 Cinema, and 1 Luxury Home. With Apartment and Luxury Home, my population increased by 23 whereas my income increased by 7 SIM. So far good investment.

Also since I had too many people to Hire, I have bought 3 Basic Home from the market spending around 350 SIM per basic home which added around 12 people in my city as well as increased SIM income by 3

With the increase in population, some of the buildings like Weed Dispensary and Airport started giving me income in SIM. So as of now, I have SIM income as 38, people to Hire as 125 (I need to increase Basic Home, Luxury Home, and Apartment for this.), the probability to get new citizen every 2 hours as 3% (i.e. increased by 1 percent), the total population as 72, popularity index as 65.

Overall I think it good progress, but again if you need to get more SIM income you need to invest more. Before investing, it's always better to know and understand the game more. That's what I am doing now, learning the game and investing slowly.

The near future goal set by me is to get 100 SIM daily, and thus after that I will see how it turns out to be.

Also, there are around 624 players in the game and thus in one day I have managed to get a rank of 394, the rank is based on population, so I need to increase my population to get a higher rank, my another future goal is to get a rank below 200 for which I had to have a minimum population of 277 as per current standings.

Yesterday I talked about how do we earn from the day. Thus as you can see one way of earning is that to get the SIM from your buildings.

There is also a technology tab that helps you to discover technology players, where we can unlock any technology once every 36 hours (but can be reset with 900 SIM). Since I have a Factory, I have unlocked Automation which gives +3 income on Factory building.

Hopefully, I am understanding the game better now, but still, it will take time to understand it fully. I am only focusing on 1st Edition as of now and once I have enough population, I will try 2nd Edition.

Are you also playing the game, what you liked, and whatnot, and what's your strategy to play this game?
