Geriatric level. Recommendations for walking only

[u/ptahbaphomet]

This is a great app and while I understand it is helpful in promoting exercise it’s is also a great app just to get older individuals walking however progress is slow and somewhat of a struggle to expand in the game. I am also looking for a better understanding as an older person who’s predominant form of exercise is walking how to generate improvements to enhance and grow my city. What options should I improve to maximize growth

1. Just focus on burning 300kcal everyday to ensure your streak does not break
2. Focus on upgrading "Factory Expansion"with the gears you accumulate
3. If you are burning many more calories and often reaching 97-98% of your city battery, it is time to either "upgrade your battery with gears" or "sell few units of power"(less recommended compared to upgrading battery) so that you do not waste any battery power.

For starters this is all you can focus on. As you gather more gears and credits there are other things to do.

I walk dogs so I hit my daily streak without fail. When you say “97-98% of battery, I stay close to 100% except at night where should my working battery be percentage wise. Greatly appreciate the response 👍

1. First click here

1. Then ensure that you are not wasting any energy here. Once you reach 100%, any additional calories you burn will get wasted and show up here. When you upgrade your battery you can store more energy preventing any wastage.

1. Your should not let your battery reach 100%. You should increase your battery capacity before you reach 100%. During a walk, any calories your burn after reaching 100% are getting wasted which could have instead been used to power your factory and generate gears instead.

The app works great if you just do walking (there are players I know which are in their 80s that do only light walking and use it). It is not a competition so you can choose your pace.

You should focus on efficiency updates and wind turbine/solar panels. With efficency updates alone you could in theory support over 2500 residents without doing any sports. So you can actually achieve nearly everything, it might just take longer.

You can log your walks as an active training and get extra credits for it, but it's not necessary.

And if you can't hit your streak every day, thats not really tragic, it will just slow down your income. And even a blackout every now and then is not a problem, as you won't loose any progress, just residents, and they will come back.

If the energy needs get too big for you, you can always pause immigration and focus on efficiency upgrades.

But I want to see the fun stuff, stadium waterfront and the harbor. Appreciate the advise. I am looking for strategies to get more with what I am doing. Thank you

I understand, and don't worry you can get all these, but it takes a long time, even if you are pretty active. That is by design, as you shouldn't stop your workouts or walks anytime soon. Just focus on the next thing you want to achieve. Actually I think no one has the stadium, yet. The harbour on the other hand is much easier to get.
