When i watch Hermitcraft and see all the bases, i am often thinking: what if this base had a story behind it? Well, i ask you this: did you make some lore for any of them? I start with my fan-made story of Renskall Island, called Plastic Energy:
A few years ago, there was 1 energy company in the 5th republic of Hermitcraft: Iskall Industries. It delivered Iskallium to all corners of the region. However, the other side of island was bought by another energy company: his rival, Rendog inc. It used uRenium, wich wasn't as powerful, but a lot easier to control. Ren wanted to gain control over the energy of the server, so he made a plan. He dropped an extract of Liquid Nether Stars in the lake, creating a very radioactive crystal. Iskall contained it in his factory, but it was to late already. It mutated a cactus, a snowman, a gummi bear, a Vex that flew by to his home and a lot more into mustached abominations called Bumbo's. It didn't help a rare Iskallium meteor hit and infected Rendog inc. and a volcano erupted and covered Rendog inc. with volcanic ash. People lost their trust in Iskallium and decided to use uRenium instead. Iskall started experimenting with the Iskallium and kept producing more because he failed every time, overflowing it into the ocean. Rendog produced more and more uRenium for the growing server. Until the radioactive cloud surrounding the island became so big and powerful it turned the entire island into plastic. People saw the danger of these radioactive materials and started using Redstone, wich wasn't as powerful, but a lot safer and easier to contain and use. And Iskall and Rendog? They keep producing Iskallium and uRenium, and the radioctive cloud never dissapeared...
