Saltpeter Ore and Sulfur Ore (Trying to make Gunpowder)

[Vergessen]

First: Where does Saltpeter Ore generate? I feel like I've been mining for hours and I have yet to find it.

Second: Why does SO much Sulfur Ore spawn? It's only use besides gunpowder (which also requires saltpeter, which I can't find), is Sulfuric Acid. The amount generated seems kinda overboard.

That said (shameless butt-kissing to commence)...I absolutely LOVE Tekkit-Lite and if not for this modpack, would not play with nearly as many mods. Keep up the awesome work :D

I found Saltpeter Ore around level 45-50, but that was the only one I ever found. Good luck finding more :D

I'm still having no luck...is saltpeter rarer than diamonds or something?

It is only in deserts near water like clay so it is very rare as far as I can tell.

I'm playing 7.4.1 and the only problem I'm getting is branch mining copper ore and saltpeter ore. I really need a chart of the ores that spawn in the dev builds. Also I found saltpeter ore in a mountain biome so I don't think it only spawns in deserts :/

Now, with Railcraft gone, there's quite a bit less sulfur around, which makes factorization quite a bit harder to use.
