Chapter 135: The people are simple and simple Gotham City!
After getting the city's medical system, Xu Mu installed a garbage dump for the citizens.
The construction cost of the dump is 10,000 gold, and the daily maintenance fee is up to 500 gold/day.
And it's a pure city maintenance expense that can't be profited from.
Many players have complained that their city's bankruptcy started with this garbage dump.
But Xu Mu still has a little trick.
He told the story.
"Taking out garbage is a rigid need for citizens, but the maintenance fee is too expensive, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"But if you don't get it, if the city is dirty and messy, it will directly affect the subsequent population occupancy rate."
"Therefore, we can choose the location of the garbage station and settle it in the commercial area."
"Although the citizens take out the garbage a little far, it is only separated by two highways, so it should be exercised."
The words once again caused a question mark all over the screen.
“???”
"Slightly?"
"It's okay to throw a garbage at two high speeds, but it's life and death speed."
"Hades: Yes, just throw it away."
Xu Mu ignored the light screen and continued to himself: "More importantly, we can drive consumption in the commercial area in this way. ”
"You think, the citizens have traveled all the way to the business district, and they have come here, so why don't you buy some things before leaving."
"Then the owner of the business district has to be grateful to me."
"People will always feel embarrassed if they owe me favors, so I can give them a chance to pay it back."
Xu Mu said while directly pulling up the tax revenue in the business district from 0 to 20%.
A move that directly makes the player blindfold.
"No, if you do that, you'll lose the happiness of the neighborhood, right?"
"And if the tax revenue in the business district increases, it will also lose happiness."
"I feel like it will do more harm than good, I don't dare to play like this anyway."
Just when everyone hesitated, thinking that Xu Mu's handling of this wave was not too good.
I saw a few messages popping up on Gotham City's social platforms.
#我们的市长太伟大了! I was able to come up with a good way to put a garbage station in a commercial area! My store has 200% more foot traffic than before! #
#就算提升了20% of taxes, but I earn more than before, praise to the mayor! #
#只要有钱可以赚, I'd rather put up with the stench of the garbage station, it's nothing. #
The players were collectively stunned.
This...... Is it also possible?
And that's not all.
The residential area is too far away from the garbage station, and the group has indeed dropped a wave of Xinfu index.
But the owner of the business district made more money, and the happiness was directly bursting! From the original emerald green to a deep dark green!
As soon as the two sides are balanced, the overall happiness index of Gotham City remains at a high level of more than 90!
This operation left players completely dumbfounded.
“????”
"Wozhi! Doesn't this drop happiness? ”
"They have to thank us!"
"Absolutely! This idea is so strange! ”
"What about the guy who just said he wouldn't dare to play like this? That's the gap between you and the gods! Study hard, it's all in the details! ”
"Hell, how did you come up with this? Learned again! Hurry up and make a note of it! ”
While a group of players sighed, Xu Mu quietly harvested tens of thousands of faith points.
Look back at the copy of Skylines.
After the tax revenue in the business district was raised to 20%, Gotham City finally ushered in its first pot of gold.
In addition to opening all the expenses, you can also earn an additional 2,000 gold a day with taxes.
When you have money, the first thing you will naturally do is to build roads.
In Skyline, whether it is a residential area, an industrial or commercial area, houses can only be built along the road.
Only when there is a road can the area be divided.
With additional regional quotas, more people will move in.
Xu Mu renamed the current city center and named it Butterfly District.
The population of the Butterfly District has gradually become saturated, and new areas need to be built!
An asphalt road is pulled out above the butterfly area, and then a square and framed closed-loop road is formed on the ground.
Asphalt roads cost 100 gold/unit, which is more expensive than regular dirt road construction, and maintenance is as high as 0.5 gold/day per unit.
But the benefits are also clear: having a wider road will reduce the risk of traffic jams, as well as get faster speeds.
Xu Mu's thoughts are very clear.
Just Scourge ...... I just finished helping the business district, and now I naturally have to help the old iron in the industrial zone.
Give the old iron a more advanced road!
In this way, their large trucks transporting goods can make several more trips a day, which indirectly increases logistics taxes.
"Attention, there's another detail here."
Xu Mu urged the idea and enlarged the bird's-eye view, so that players could more intuitively see a certain building, and even pedestrians and vehicles walking on the street.
"When we were building, if there were too many grids, the citizens would use a lot of land to build a building, and they would even dare to build a yard for themselves, which is unforgivable. Moreover, the number of people in a building will not increase if it is built in this way. ”
"Therefore, we can put Big Brother Tan City, and then accurately plan each unit, so that citizens can only build buildings on a single grid."
"That way, we can farm...... Sorry, we can settle more citizens. ”
Players: "??? ”
"You just said farming, right?"
"Did it happen intentionally or accidentally?"
"God leaks his mouth!"
Ignoring the complaints, Xu Mu demonstrated it without blushing and without a heartbeat.
Sure enough, under his precise point planning, when the citizens on this side of the factory build a building, they will only occupy one grid unit each time, and although the building type is smaller, the number of people accommodated is the same as that of a large factory covering an area of 10 grids.
It's just that looking down from a distance, the dense small buildings look a little strange.
"That's it...... It's like rows of cemeteries. Some players couldn't hold back.
"Shhh That's true! ”
"Good fellows! Work directly in the factory until you die, right? ”
"I originally thought I was black enough, compared to the A god boss, I'm really a stinky brother......"
After arranging the factory, it is natural to arrange the corresponding residential area.
Otherwise, you only have a factory, and you can't do it without labor!
The site of the new residential area is located on the top of the factory, and Xu Mu framed a lot that is almost the same as the area of the new factory, and also planned it in an accurate landing style.
Then, the two new areas were framed and renamed as Kasamoto Industrial Park.
As we all know, the people of the small book country are very particular about the spirit of craftsmanship.
Therefore, inviting them to live in Gotham City and become a glorious part-time worker will surely make Gotham City have a better future.
Of course, if you are a migrant worker, you have to look like a migrant worker, and the area in the city center is a high-consumption area, so it is not for you Kasamoto social animals.
In order to avoid you going to the shopping street of the Butterfly District, you will spend the money you have earned for a month after a walk, and you can only reluctantly cut off the connection from the city center, and the road will be changed to only allow trucks.
Let the workers of Kasamoto eat and drink directly in the industrial park.
What?
Cage?
Don't talk nonsense! We still have a conscience.
As a mayor, you have to pay attention to a bowl of water!
Now that everyone has settled in Gotham City, they all have a chance to get a Gotham City hukou!
The people of the Kasamoto Industrial Zone are naturally people, and as long as they are people, they yearn for life in the metropolis.
Therefore, if the citizens of the Kasamoto Industrial Zone want to buy a house in the city center, they only need to pay 300% of the original house price.
It is probably all the savings of three generations, and you can settle a Gotham City household registration in a solid manner, and Tong Su is not bullied.
After setting up all this, Xu Mu raised the tax revenue of the industrial park to 30%.
"Will anyone really move in like this......" the spectators asked, puzzled.
"Population growth is based on the overall happiness of residents." Xu Mu replied simply.
Just because a city is glamorous doesn't mean it doesn't have a poor side, there must be some retrogrades.
Soon, with the opening of the new campus, Gotham City's population once again ushered in a wave of explosive growth.
Tax revenue has also soared from the original 2,000 gold/day to nearly 5,000 gold/day.
The financial department has gone from being impoverished to being even slightly rich, with a full 50,000 yuan in liquidity.
Xu Mu pushed the boat down the river again and set up a primary school in the butterfly area.
The happiness index of the surrounding residents has increased again!
A relative balance has been reached with the low happiness index of the Kasamoto Industrial Zone.
The famous scientist Albert Einstein once said in the book "Theory of Relativity": You add happiness, I subtract happiness, which is equivalent to the total happiness unchanged.
Immediately, Xu Mu called up the hundredfold time lapse built into the copy.
After a short while, there was a crisp 'ding' buzz.
Gotham City has successfully reached Level 2 and has been upgraded to a rich village with a population of 2000!
At the same time, it also unlocks the bank, fire station, and police station.
At this point, another difficulty comes.
According to the law that what "Skylines" has is what is missing.
After being promoted to a Tier 2 city, a bank fire station and a police station will inevitably be built.
If you don't fix it, the happiness index will drop, and when the index drops, the number of people willing to move in will decrease, and even a large number of residents will run away from home.
And the construction and maintenance costs of these three are not ordinarily expensive!
The bank is the most affordable of the three, only 10,000 gold.
But the cost of the fire station and the police station is huge.
It costs 20,000 gold per building to build.
Maintenance is up to 5,000 gold/day
After all, after having a fire station, Diao Min's house will always catch fire for no reason, and the house will be burglarized for no reason.
On average, a police call costs 500 gold for maintenance.
A village of 2,000 people, with at least 10 fires + crimes per day, can be described as a simple Gotham City.
"! The progress has finally come to me! I was bankrupt at this stage before! "Some players are indignant.
"Grass! Me too! A group of Diao people have nothing to do every day, and they just don't go home in the middle of the night and walk on the road, just press it! After being robbed, I began to lose the happiness index, and I was numb! ”
"Fires are outrageous, either my wife is cooking and the fire is fired, or the bear child is playing with firecrackers, and my city is in dire straits every day."
"I guess God A has another wave of operations this time! He probably won't be able to build a fire station or a police station. ”
"But if you don't build it, the citizens will lose their happiness...... These people are so hard to serve! ”
"Sit back and wait for the A god boss to come up with advice!"
Just when a group of players were looking forward to Xu Mu's next operation.
Xu Mu finally made a move.
The fire station and the police station, of course, have to be built.
Just like what the players said, if you don't build it, it will be regarded as the city's imperfect equipment, and you will directly have a happiness value Waterloo in situ!
There's a very scary hidden chain reaction in Skylines.
Suppose in the case of a government finances that are not financially capable of rebuilding a city.
Once more than 30% of the population is lost, the city will be involved in the death bankruptcy effect.
The logic goes like this.
When your city reaches a certain size, your public facilities are fixed daily expenses, and even if the city is emptied, your fixed expenses will still exist.
But your population has already been lost, the output value has fallen, and tax revenues have fallen.
As soon as taxes fall, the government becomes poor and unable to maintain its fixed spending.
As a result, the happiness of the remaining citizens will continue to decline.
Then it comes to the rhythm of the death bankruptcy effect.
The remaining citizens moved away after the happiness value dropped to a certain level→→ the city's fiscal revenue was further reduced→→ unable to maintain more equipment→→ citizens moved out again.
The larger the city, the larger the fixed expenses, the less able it can withstand the shock of death and bankruptcy.
In reality, every country has a central financial backing, and even if a region goes bankrupt, the state can still help save it.
But in Skylines, the city built by each player is an independent individual, and there is no possibility for the country to help raise a hand.
Once involved in the death bankruptcy effect, it is equivalent to directly sending it.
Unless your city coffers can afford to completely rebuild your city, or continue to be tax-free until the population returns to its original level.
Therefore, after each city upgrade, it is actually like an immortal cultivator's catastrophe, and he has to face a dangerous impact brought about by 'urban services must be improved'.
The current high expenses of the police and fire departments are likely to be the last straw that crushes Gotham City.
In copy.
I saw that Xu Mu didn't talk nonsense, but directly dragged the copy interface, pulling the perspective to the suburbs of Gotham City, on the top of a towering mountain.
Then, under the curious gaze of all.
Two buildings were placed on the top of the hill.
One is a police station and the other is a fire station.
As soon as the act was launched, it instantly aroused the doubts of countless players watching the game, and fierce discussions instantly spread!
"Huh?"
"Why are the police and fire stations here?"
"It's 108,000 miles away from the Butterfly District in the center of Gotham, is God A's hand shaking wrong?"
"It doesn't seem to add to the happiness of the citizens if it's placed here, I've tried it before! It can only be increased if it is placed in areas where citizens frequently move. And the denser the citizenry, the higher the happiness value. ”
"So what's going on?"
"I preached, every operation of God A was beyond my expectations......"
Right now.
"Optimistic, the next thing is the key to breaking the game." With Xu Mu's soft words.
The lively light screen instantly fell silent.
All the players widened their eyes and stared at Xu Mu's actions in the dungeon without blinking, for fear of missing any detail.
I want to see how he will defuse the new round of financial crisis.
Progress this month: 25/50
