Closed 1.2.0: Shiny ore, Emerald Ore, Platinum Nether Ore, and Emerald Nether Ore not generated

[SimonBitdiddle]

Version:
1.3.2

What is the bug:
It appears that Shiny and Emerald ores are disabled and was wondering if this is documented anywhere and if there is a workaround besides regenerating the world after changing configs.

Mod & Version:
Infinity 1.3.2

Can it be repeated:

Enter the missing stanza below into config/cofh/world/ThermalFoundation-Ores.json:

platinum ore is not supposed to be enabled. you can get shiny dust from pulverizing ferrous ore.

nether emerald is generating. i have quarried a 800 by 800 area of the nether yielding me over 4000 nether emerald ores

Is that an official 'this is disabled' by the modpack devs or 'this is in the config so it must be intentional'?

Also, I tried put a silk-touch enderquarry that did 64x64 chunks from the top bedrock layer and returned neither nether emerald ores nor emeralds nor nether platinum ore under 1.3.2.

AFAIK Shiny/Platinum were always disabled in default mod config by mod devs, not modpack creators. Getting shiny dust by pulverizing ferrous is intended behaviour.
But you can always play with bees to get a huge amount of shiny/enderium ingots as i did

Emerald ore generates in Nether
config\powercrystals\netherores\common.cfg
emerald {
I:BlocksPerGroup=2

# Disables generation of Emerald (overrides global ForceOreSpawn)
Bisable=false

IMHO your best bet for emeralds would be quarrying in a Deep Dark.

Naturally, it's a case of a bad seed; turned left and did another 64x64x126 enderquarry and got a good number of nether emeralds. Stupid random number generator generating inconsistent random numbers! You'd think 1024 m^2 of area would be enough to get a decent sample!

emeralds seem scarse until you set up massive quarries (5000x5000) you will be swimming in them when the quarry is done. Same goes for nether emeralds.

I was actually surprised you didn't complain about iridium. It is by far the rarest resource in the game or nether/overworld draconium ore(plenty of them in the end tho)

Iridium is supposed to be eye-blisteringly rare from the get go, but by the time you've gotten far enough to really need it, you can generate it using UU as far as I've experienced.

One of the reasons why I was looking for Shiny Ore is to use the resource seeds from Agricraft and apparently only ores are allowed to grow the flowers, not blocks.

 

[Mikerman]

i guess the makers of thermal foundation wanted it to be rare and hard to get. i curently have about 4000 shiny dust but in comparison with ferrous(about 80k) it is small

 

[SimonBitdiddle]

I did a check and found out that Shiny Ore has been removed from when the mod was originally created, I just was wondering if the modpack developers would state that this is intentional or not.

The default config file that is generated has the stanza above within it so either the file was truncated or the section was removed.

Shiny ore does not generate by default with Thermal Expansion/Foundation at the time of development of Infinity. Getting it as a by product is intended for balance within the mod.
