Hi.
I run a SMALL server (LAN, usually max 2 players, SOMETIMES 3) with Monster 1.1.1 and we have added a couple of mods to that. Everything (else) seems to be working well, and has for the last couple of months (since Monster was "released" as beta). But just yesterday I tried adding Mekanism. Although everything works (no ID conflicts, recipes work, NEI sees stuff and everything can be spawned in-world), there is NO osmium in the world. Not in new chunks, not in old chunks. Well, old chunks obviously need RetroGen, so I tried switching that on from the cofh\worldgen configs. Although Retrogen worked (I saw more iron in places I KNOW I've mined EVERYTHING), no osmium.
Googled around, checked a few posts here (this: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/retrogen-with-cofh-and-mekanism.45137/#post-660330 and this: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/thermal-expansion-ore-config-question.4527/ namely.) But as nothing works (adding it to cofh configs in the actual config file and/or in the custom txt file, enabling/disabling it in the mekanism configs, etc. No matter of how many "do as this guide says" things I do, I can't get oreOsmium to spawn in-world. Seeing as these guides and posts are that old (two years, most are for 1.4.x), I figure something has changed (drastically?) in-between and that 1.6.4 now needs something else for it to work?
What SHOULD I do to get Monster + Mekanism to spawn osmium ore correctly?
ps. I've been using a creative-spawned DigitalMiner (configured with "oreOsmium" oredict filter) to check the presence of any osmium ore. I think this should work (at least it finds everything else), and I shouldn't need to manually mine to see if there is any osmium?
Also I've been using Mystcraft to spawn new chunks, not flown around in overworld, but I think osmium should also spawn in Mystcraft ages?
