yes you can find it and you might find any kind of ore in the twilight forest and you can find more ores in the hollow hills

wow this is the weirdest question ever ill still answer it

The question isn't that weird, considering Twilight Forest generates its terrain at a base of y=32 and copper generally doesn't spawn lower than y=40.
Anyone dealt with the pros and cons of this? Is ore generation in twilight forest equal to the Overworld? If so you would think getting diamonds would be muuuuuch faster in Twlight forest, wouldn't you? Quarrying down to level 12 would be much faster, etc.
Has anyone worked with bushes from Natura and with the Tree of Time for Twilight Forest? I would assume it would make them grow faster but would it make them create berries faster?
Yes. More MJ per bucket. Don't know exactly how much, but it's pretty significant.
Though of course the setup is larger and a bit more costly.
Oh? A combustion engine produces 5Mj/t for 40,000 ticks per bucket, so that's 200,000MJ. This calculator seems to indicate that the pr bucket output is way lower, so it's quite likely I'm doing something wrong :s
That depends on what you're doing with the calculator.
A small boiler will be less efficient than a combustion engine. A large boiler will be more efficient. Also, if you include heatup costs in the simulation, that will utterly ruin fuel efficiency unless you simulate with so much fuel that it a.) manages to completely heat up the boiler and then b.) keeps running for so long afterward that the impact of the heatup phase is marginalized.
For reference: a size-1 boiler has efficiency 5.06, a size-18 boiler has efficiency 6.45, and a size-36 boiler has efficiency 9.09. LP or HP only affects heatup costs. By comparison, a combustion engine has an efficiency of 6.25 with zero heatup costs and the advantage of an instant on/off behavior. If you want details, I wrote a post on that issue that exploded the word count limit of a post on these forums two times over

Hm.. I felt I had accounted for the startup, but clearly not. Thanks a lot, I also had no idea that the difference in HP/LP was only in the heatup process. I thought HP was less efficient but more effective (higher steam output/t)That depends on what you're doing with a calculator.

It is less efficient because the heatup phase is so insanely expensive (four times that of an equivalent low pressure boiler). However, once if is fully heated up it burns fuel at the same efficiency. It will consume twice as much fuel per tick and output twice as much steam per tick.
By building two low pressure boilers instead of one high pressure one, you get the same steady state fuel consumption and the same energy output, while saving 50% heatup costs (and only need iron, not steel for the boiler modules). But you do require twice the building space and you need to pay for twice the components.
Thus, using low pressure boilers gives you more steam for your fuel, simply because you pay less to bring them up to temperature. This means low pressure boilers are more efficient, absolutely speaking. Many people prefer to use high pressure anyways, because if you simply run the boiler long enough (roughly 250+ hours for size-36 ones), you produce such a gigantic amount of energy that the difference made up by the additional heatup cost becomes small in comparison and ceases to be important.

Ore generation is not quite equivalent in the twilight forest. It actually gets all the ores to generate in it, even though there's some ores like copper which stop spawning below y40, but the ground at the twilight forest is y32, and you'll still find copper.
So, yes you can find diamonds, but no they're not likely to be in the same place that you find them in the overworld
If you're after high yield quarrying, find yourself a hollow hill and dig that out with it (Note you will be destroying multiple spawners if you do this)
Is there an easy gregtech config file for GT 3.1.1? The config pack/resonance unleashed as (for understandable reasons) stopped doing GT, and all config files I can find are from 1.4.7.
The GT configs for recipes are kind of hidden away in the files and not that easy to understand (especially not for me who isn't big on the history of GT, nor programming, nor even English as a language!).
EDIT: For example, under "gregtechrecipes" it has lines for both solar panels and distillation towers. If I set solar panels to "false", will it use the standard recipes then? What happens if I set distillation tower to "false", will the item not be craftable?

its in the GT configs under platesneededfor. disable both the lines with that in them.
SolarPanels under HarderRecipes set to false will prevent GregTech from removing the normal solar panel recipe. SolarPanels under GregTechRecipes may do the same, or it may only remove the more complicated recipe. DistillationTower under GregTech recipes will prevent the Distillation Tower controller block recipe from being added.
It should be in the DynamicConfig under :
platesneededfortoolsmadeof
(for armor and some other items, it's platesneededforarmormadeof and platesneededformiscmadeof, respectively). Note that not all versions included this toggle, so you may need to upgrade depending on situation.
