I'm just gonna go ahead and say that one of the best thing so far that was added into the Nextcolony steem game was the implementation of the "Keychain" support this week.
I know it's really got nothing to do with the Nextcolony game but it really is a pain to find the folder where I put my Steem passwords then copy & paste it on the log.in page everytime. So kudos to the whole team for finally adding such feature. XD
Anyway as for my Nextcolony progress:
Production skills and buildings are at level 15-17 so I am now close to maxing them. XDv
I've also started upgrading my Shipyard and Explorer buildings so I can explore the neighbouring areas near my planet. So far my Shipyars is already at level 13 while my Explorer skill will be at Level 18 in 1 hour. Which means 2 more to go before I could try exploring.
It also seems that the Nextcolony team finally released their own token called STARDUST (https://steemit.com/game/@nextcolony/scientists-found-stardust) so things might get interesting in the coming weeks.
(I hope all this upgrading will someday be worth it LOL)
Also, in case you didn't know Nextcolony has a new giveaway to which you can read here: https://steemit.com/game/@nextcolony/transporter-iii-blueprints-sent-new-giveaway . The only thing one needs to do is to "resteem" their blog post above to get a blueprint something which probably would have value in the future. (I'm not a big fan of resteems so let me know if it really is of value XD)
