Would be sweet for the river to be filtered through the wall, like a treatment plant, so that the clean rivers of the rest of the server came from the sulfur river being purified.

Ren clearly needs a space suit skin now. The standard GigaCorp Uniform or something.

great story man, that english teacher is a legend

Really love the small changes to the biomes and surrounding area <3

For the Giga Truck, you could make a custom disc of a beacon or other noise for the ambient background music, that plays for a duration of time and is activated by a skulk sensor (probably a calibrated one), so when you open the hatch the custom disc will play! That was the thought I had and got exited about [:

Gem's "Get naked" and Ren's "Bleep bleep bloop bloop" need to be horns.

PVP, as in Pretty Violent Practice.

Awesome episode! Absolutely love the Giga Truck! Looking super cool! Keep up the amazing work! Have an awesome week! See you later!

Dang! I remember first watching this when I was 19. Now I am 30. I have since moved on from watching Minecraft youtubers but dang I LOVED watching your survival series and I came to rewatch this nostalgic first episode. The stories in life you told, the monument for the freaking slab... and stuff in the buttholio XD. Thanks for the years of amazing memories in your survival LP Rendog! I know we never made it to the Enderdragon here but I loved the journey as you finished Grannydogs monument! Your LP inspired me and my brothers to make a theme park in Minecraft. Sadly we lost Craftworld to a save bug last year after 10 years. Thanks for the many memories RenDog!!!

the gigatruck - “Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow.” its the only thing going through my head when u called it a rickety spaceship

I love the new build! It kinda has a face on the back, but it’s a super cute face so I love it too 😂

Hermicraft really inspires the average player. When i started, i didn't date to try something that tells a story. You especially helped with saying tell a story to stay inspired. From then on I've made a pirate base reclaimed from ruins of a naval fort and now working on a tree world where the buildings are part trees.

I miss renbob, where in the giga virce has he gotten himself lost

15:59 HOW DO I CRAFT THIS AGAIN OMG 😭😭😭

Ren you need some campfires under your sulfur lakes. That'd make them seem more toxic and alive.

Ren, may I suggest for your skin that you design a Gigacorp space suit? Perhaps with a custom hat for a helmet to protect yourself from the toxic atmosphere of HC-10 as you acclimate. Maybe the helmet would only be needed outside of the boundary of your biome - the squirtipods could be making the air safe for you to breathe when you are inside the area. PS: I personally am really enjoying the lore developing out of a "logical" timeline. It really feels like you're bringing us along with your creative process and I really like the honesty in your approach.

Every video after this one got over 100k views

Ren, I’ve studied to be a storyteller (writer) for over two decades now, and I want to tell you that these last three episodes have been some of the most masterful storytelling I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for making these episodes and sharing these stories with us!

Love the lore and really love the Giga ship! 🙂

I love when Hermits laugh so hard you can hear their laughter echoing in their rooms 😆

love your videos!!

32:39 Mr.Krabs is that you?

This build turned out amazing! Also speaking of lego your base is giving me a sci-fi lego wet vibe

Love the custom biome, but the pink petals kill it for me. I’d ditch them from the whole project. Either way love the rest of what u have going on man

11 year old me lovedd it

I love the gigatruck! your creativity and worldbuilding is wonderful to watch!

The Gigatruck is looking sick man! I love it!

Thoughts on GVerse stucture: It would be cool if Bedrock/Java are seperate parallel UNIVERSES, instead of superclusters, and the glitches that power java hyperdrives don't work in Bedrock, so most people don't go there. But GigaCorp is sending slower-than-light, unmanned probes through a - um - dimensional transfer thingy? - to try and find worlds and develop bedrock-compatible FTL travel. It also leaves the superclusters as something that now only determine if you do or don't have mods. Plotwise this allows for more "frontiers" style plot for you or other MCYTers who follow the GVerse plot (maybe even me, if i finally get round to setting up my channel).

Thoughts on the structure of the Gigaverse: I think that it would be cool Java and Bedrock Edition aren't merely distinguished by superclusters, and that's to distinguish what mods are available. Instead, they could be whole parallel UNIVERSES in the gigaverse, explaining the differences in gameplay. It could be that the hyperdrives used by most only function in java, where the glitches that power them exist, but gigacorp is sending unmanned slower-than-light probes through a - umm, dimension thingy - into the Bedrock universe to explore and maybe develop a new hyperdrive. Plotwise this gives Ren or other MCYTers (maybe even myself, if I ever get round to actually setting up a channel) an oppurtunity to do a more "frontier" plotline.

Such a neat feature for your base biome. Small observation…at 32:40 you are standing on the wall and I can see white in the middle of the left engine…maybe put a grey or black block there or a block of magma.

Tbh one thing that comes to my mind when new planets or new biomes is a hege glowing tree which is connected to the core of the earth. which is one of the main sources of the power which comes from the other plants.

It’s so fitting how the red king died to the firstborn red name on the server. Just *chefs kiss*

Stresses laugh made my day

I'm really enjoying your custom biome, lore and Gigacorp builds, Ren. They fit so nicely together to make such a unique minecraft base that feels full of stories and nicely complements both the alien aspects and the futuristic technologies.

"A pilot called Bob". Hmm. Could it be ... RenBob?

Late as heck but I just started laughing so hard because I immediately thought of the phrase butt munching at 3:10 So I just screamed "Butt muncher hahhahahha" at the top of my lungs help

i love the lore! its like you arrived first in exploratory sent out a signal saying exploration is viable and signaled the giga truck down- the giga truck has everythingyou need for proper terraforming and researching and exploratory missions like a mobile base! love it!

With that bit of added lore in mind. I like to think that this area was specifically chosen for research because of its abundant diversity in flora and fauna in such close proximity to each other. Further, Giga Corp plans to profit/advance from their findings.. somehow

it would look cool if you elevated the big intersection in the path and had the river underneath it. like a star-shaped bridge. make it look sci-fy x)

From behind the truck looks like a face with giant eyeballs and a wide toothy mouth.

"... top hat from the 20's..." is that the 1920's or the 2020's? :)

So glad to see someone actually using scaffolding for building. I utilize it all the time.

the copper grates in the floor and the copper doors sound so perfect in the ship, feels nice and scifi

Love that you built the eagle 5 from spaceballs and put tracks on it. Looks awesome!

In addition to the extra dirt edging around the wall, you may want to add a little bit of the micro biomes that also made it to the wall edge. Perhaps somewhere even finding a way to escape alien the biome into the world... like an invasive species...

Ren: geeking out about schematics. Me: such a nerd...and I absolutely love it. Keep it up Ren. So much LORE :P

I'm a little behind, but I definitely enjoyed the Ren stories. I'd love to have more of these type of episodes.

Back of the ship looks like the stabby robot from future futurerama xD

I had the idea of putting some sniffers in some of your mikro bioms. They look unusual and could fit the theme and would also add a bit of life to the gigabiom

So cool to hear about your editing journey! I've used adobe since college for 6ish years, work in premier pro and after effects daily and I'm still learning new things haha love from another fellow south african <3
