check correct ore configuration, are we missing copper?

[t0rmania]

Hi all,

First up, I'm a full blown Tekkit n00b so bear with me if I'm asking the bleeding obvious.

We've been grinding away at our first Tekkit world and seem to be going alright but have hit a wall with copper, silver and tin ore.

We have had three mining turtles going from level 70 down to bedrock 8 x 8 squares (basic excavate) without any luck as well as manual mining.

However we have found quantum dust and ...

I suspect it's a config issue but when digging around (no pun) I discovered that the various Tekkit mods have the potential to trip over each other when it comes to spawning various ores. So, I found a couple of mod configs that include ores, Calclavia is one example and I think there are more.

I also found these in the ForgeModLoader log

Line 4430: 2015-06-08 19:16:52 [INFO] [ForgeModLoader] Basic Components: Successfully requested item: ingotCopper
    Line 4434: 2015-06-08 19:16:52 [INFO] [ForgeModLoader] Basic Components: Successfully requested block: oreCopper
    Line 4450: 2015-06-08 19:16:52 [INFO] [ForgeModLoader] Basic Components: Successfully requested item: plateCopper

Which looks good to me but being a n00b it's hard to tell.

So, my questions....

Is there a specific biome for copper?

What is the correct mod config to check to make sure the ore is actually switched on?

Anything else I'm missing?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

It may have something to do with the biome, there hasn't been any mod ore in my server world quarry digs (mostly grassy biome), but I just saw copper [Thermal Expansion] in a turtle dig*  in a desert biome...

I just restarted the server, but last time I did that it didn't make any difference...

Update: as the quarry is approaching bedrock, I can see all the ores are back, except for silicone, but we don't always hit that.  I'll build the next one on the grassy biome and see it it has the ore
