Big Dig ore generation?

[Farhad]

Which mod makes Big Dig's ores spawn so commonly?

My guess is using the Metallurgy mod? Am I right?

Thanks in advance

It's not a mod, it's the world generation settings who have been edited to increase the ores spawn ratio.

How do I edit the world generation settings?

Actually, I believe its in the World.cfg which is located in the cofh folder in config.

So basically it IS a mod. CoFH core, which took over ore generation from Metallurgy in the recent update.

To edit them, open the config file and it lists all of the spawning rates for the different ores. If you are trying to lower them then just make the NumClusters= a smaller number along with making the ClusterSize= a smaller number.

Thanks :D

I usually halved the Cluster/size and it works out great. :)

also editing the "y" values in the world.cfg folder changes the height limit for ores i believe. i've been looking into this a bit myself

You can also just flat turn off vanilla ore replacement in CoFHCore configs to reactivate ordinary vanilla ore gen. I believe you can remove the thermex section entirely and on next run it will regenerate the thermex section with default values. You can return the custom ores to their defaults by removing an ore from both World.cfg and WorldCustomGen.txt, and reactivating the ore's generation in its respective mod's config file.

I'm wondering if it's possible to take big dig's ore generation and add it to other modpacks like tekkit lite or direwolf20's pack from feed the beast.

If you were to do that, the modpack would have to have CoFHCore installed. Then you just wanna find the World.cfg in cofh folder in config. Then you can change the cluster size, cluster numbers, and height limits according to what you want.

I have found that putting 20 for the number of clusters and size makes stone the most rare block. So, I would recommend like 10-15 for them.

Also, where is says MaxY and MinY the maximum you can do is 128 and minimum is 0.
