Alright, I know full well that I can just go into the configs and change things I don't like, but a lot of people don't like doing that so it makes some config options decided on by FTB questionable.

Today, scrolling through the Monster changelogs I found this:
  • Project Red
    • Disabled Marble Caves, Stained Trees and Volcanos

These are 3 key features in the mod (almost the entirety of RP2 World) so why disable them? They also do things like disable the majority of BoP biomes and other mod's world gen features. I see so many config options that I find questionable, that TBH I just am curious why they've chosen to do this.

I don't actually have a problem with them doing this, I'm just unsure why. Is it bugs? Are these features unpopular. To me it seems like they're disabling part of mods so we don't get a full experience.

I agree, to an extent. I find that I usually have to hunt for explanations - sometimes I find that it's preference, sometimes it's just for servers, sometimes it's for bugs. The prior 2 are good reasons for me to opt to re-enable them again if I want - but again, I have to hunt for that information. I think there should be some sort of reasoning next to config changes so that we know why and if we can change it back.

Personally, I dislike the PR marble. I prefer either Chisel's marble or RailCraft's Quarried Stone. But as for the other two, that does strike me as a little odd.

I think stained trees is because of Dye Trees mod, but still...

Edit: I enjoyed finding marble in caves, as back in 1.2.5 I don't think any other mods added new stone. Call it nostalgia.
 
Ah, that would make sense then. The volcanoes I can also understand if it isn't possible to change the frequency of them, as I see (IMO) far too many of them normally.
 
Lag from all the lava updates? Chunk corruption?
We may never know if we can turn these beauties back on unless the ftb team starts explaining.
 
Why did they disable PR's dye trees and enable a completely separate mod to put them in? Why not just enable PR's dye trees and have one less mod?
