"This is a timer." I thought about a way that wouldn't get angry even if I played "SimCity Buildit" during work: Hanashi

The other day, I started the iPhone version of "SimCity Buildit".Since the SimCity series has been played properly since "SimCity 2000", it has returned to the mayor's job for the first time in more than 20 years.

Through the road, the purpose of the game, which organizes the parcels and develops the city -the purpose of the game has not changed, but the operation system was truly for smartphones such as taps and flicks.What has changed even more is the treatment of the residential area, commercial and industrial areas (RCI) in the previous series.In the past, the city was built in response to the demand of RCI, but in Buildit, this element has disappeared.

The factories and stores in Buildit exist to produce materials (items) and enlarge their residential areas.The number that can be installed is limited, and it takes time for the item to be completed.Easy things are a few minutes, and it takes a few hours as the level goes up.

As a result, real -time has been enhanced, and time or not to stop or speed up.To make the items you need to make the city bigger (proceed with time), you need to pay in -game currency.

In -game currency increases when the population is increased or certain conditions are increased, but the quickest one is to charge directly.If you watch advertising videos, you can get currency and items, and you can trade items you have with other users can be said to be an evolution that is appropriate for the smartphone era.In a nutshell, the addiction has been greatly increased as a real -time strategy for a modern smartphone.

By the way, even though I often use a smartphone, it is very dangerous to always start Buildit because I am worried about building towns.You have to leave your current job and concentrate on the mayor's job.Of course, it is also possible to charge for a bad idea.So, I thought about a method that would not get angry even if I did Buildit during work.

It is to use it as a timer.

If you set a housing facility in Buildit, you will be asked to add the necessary materials.The product production time is 1 minute for metal, 3 minutes for wood, and 2 hours for chemical substances.In addition, there is a processed product made using materials, and it takes 27 minutes for metal x 2 and 4 minutes 30 seconds to make nails.It takes 30 minutes.

During this production time, it is a division to work on the main business.For example, if the next break is two hours later, the production of "chemical substances" will start.It will be completed two hours later, during which time you look at Buildit, write your manuscript, pay for expenses, and adjust your schedule.It looks like you are playing a smartphone game, but as a function, it is a work timer, so it should be fine to go to the meeting as it is.

There should be no problem, but when I practiced it, the impact of the mayor's job became a little stronger.It looks like you're just playing a game from the surroundings.Then you cannot fulfill your initial purpose.Since the main business is also hindered, we decided to consider creating a proper city, such as a different method, for example, playing during breaks.

Please enjoy smartphone games using time and money for planning.
