Yittrium is a city founded by the former members of Florestria on May 10th, 2019. Located along the edge of a jungle biome and a mega taiga biome, Yittrium is a coastal city with an emphasis on modernization, as pursued through its industrial farms and luxurious aesthetic builds. Yittrium was created shortly after the abandonment of Florestria, featuring a majority of the same members, and several new ones.

History
Leaving Behind Florestria
Between late-April - mid-May 2019, the city of Florestria had been facing serious threats and tragedies. Antzakes1, a controversial player on the server, had gained coordinates to the city, using them to threaten several of its members. The city was ultimately compromised, with a minor attack even taking place after ostrich1414 blew up AntHand with TNT (the two later peacefully resolved these issues). Thus, feeling that their city was no longer safe to build at, its active members decided to move out and focus on a new project. Ostrich1414 was commissioned to discover a new location significantly farther out into the map; he eventually settled on Yittrium's current location, a coastal jungle/mega taiga biome, featuring several jungle temples and villages nearby.
The city was officially incorporated on May 10th, 2019. After ostrich1414 established the base's location, all of Florestria's active members were brought over to join, in this order: Chris_cord, SkykirryChycho, Bapada63, egnaroky, MoWobbler, and AntHand. A few days later, Chris_cord's ally, trppbll, was invited to the team.
The city immediately began to thrive: ostrich1414 built a large prismarine statue on a nearby island, known as the "Guardian of Our City". This island was named "Florestria Island" in honor of their previous city and its former glory. Furthermore, MoWobbler constructed the "Yittrium Community Storage Facility", a large storage center complete with an automatic item sorting machine. A much better road system was also introduced, devised by both ostrich1414 and Bapada63. Eventually, the group officially settled on the name "Yittrium", mainly because the SimPvP wiki did not list any bases that began with the letter "Y". Below is a picture of Yittrium as it stood during the early days, on May 19th, 2019:
Yittrium Begins to Grow
Over the month of May to early June 2019, Yittrium began to slowly grow into a larger city. Many players, like AntHand, MoWobbler and Chris_cord, began to construct their own houses as Yittrium. Furthermore, ostrich1414 began his first modern building, a lowrise labeled as the "Yittrium Department of Commerce". Bapada63, much like at Florestria, began work on a new cartography center, dedicated to mapping the city and its surrounding areas. Several bridges were also constructed by Bapada63, connecting severeal separated landmasses.
Eventually, the city experienced its first few instances of urbanization added to its skyline. MoWobbler constructed Yittrium's first skyscrapers, a complex of two twin towers with a bridge in between (known as the "Twin Ring Towers"). Not too far from these towers, ostrich1414 constructed a skycraper modeled after one from Struthio, known as "Oceanview Luxury Apartments". AntHand also built a hot air balloon floating in the sky, serving as a perfect location for scenic views of the city's growing skyline.
The Battle of Knee Mo
On May 31st, 2019, a small battle occurred in Yittrium when AntHand accidentally killed one of MoWobbler's fish, known as Knee Mo, at his fountain. Outraged, Chris_cord and MoWobbler teamed up to attack AntHand; eventually egnaroky joined Chris_cord and MoWobbler as well in their crusade against AntHand. The fighting took various forms, both in land, air and sea, as the city became littered with arrows. Eventually, AntHand succeeded in the first killing, slaying Chris_cord.
Ostrich1414, who had been neutral up until then, was brought into the battle after being attacked by AntHand. He joined MoWobbler in attacking AntHand, and the battle would continue for several minutes, with much of it resulting in air raids. Eventually, AntHand killed ostrich1414, leaving him and MoWobbler to face off each other alone. After an intense 1v1 duel between the two inside of the storage facility, AntHand ultimately emerged victorious after killing MoWobbler. After even more fighting, however, AntHand and MoWobbler signed a peace treaty, with both parties apologizing for their actions, resulting in the official end of the Battle of Knee Mo.
A Rapidly Changing Skyline
The entire month of June 2019 served as the definitive time to shape, master and establish Yittrium's urban skyline. As the city began to grow at a much more rapid rate, buildings soon became taller and more imposing; several new skyscrapers blossomed during this month alone. Some of the more notable highrise structures to be completed were the "Struthio Memorial Tower" and "Imperium Palace" by ostrich1414 and the iconic "Big Bend" arch by trppbll and Chris_cord, which immediately became the largest structure in the city. Furthermore, a massive reconstruction project occurred when MoWobbler decided to completely redo the storage building; he dismantled much of the old one, rebuilding it into a much larger, more sophisticated complex with a new additional building and many more layers of storage.
On June 13th, Brusa95 became Yittrium's newest member; an ally of trppbll and Chris_cord, the three make up the team "Passione". As soon as she joined the city, Brusa95 established her personal home in a new, unsettled area on the outskirts of the city. This area soon became Yittrium's designated suburban neighborhood, with several smaller-scale buildings and houses being created. In fact, ostrich1414 even constructed his first house on the server since 2015 here. Finally, part of the city was transitioning to a more lowkey suburban setting, which proved beneficial for the team's vision of a lifelike city.
Aside from city planning, new farms were being added to Yittrium. AntHand began work on the city's new-and-improved gunpowder farm, while ostrich1414 established a skeleton grinder. Brusa95 and trppbll also began work on an automatic brewery.
