I've checked NEI and it lists pig iron. I'm using the default settings for nether ores but for the life of me, I can't seem to find pig iron anywhere. It was super plentiful in Monster but in Infinity, I'm finding tons of nether gold but not one block of pig iron. Anyone else been able to find it?

I would suspect that the ore gen is controlled by the COFH oregen and it might be disabled there for balance purposes. At least that is what I would do.

Na, I checked and, assuming I'm reading it correctly, it appears to be enabled.

Excerpt from config\powercrystals\netherores\common.cfg

steel {
I:BlocksPerGroup=4

# Disables generation of Steel (overrides global ForceOreSpawn)
B:Disable=false

# Force Steel to generate (overrides Disable)
B:Force=false
I:GroupsPerChunk=3
I:MaxY=127
I:MinY=1

# The pickaxe level required to mine Steel
I:MiningLevel=2

# Retroactively generate Steel if enabled in CoFHCore
B:Retrogen=true
}

I think I figured it out. There's a setting in the cfg:

# If true, will spawn nether ores regardless of if a furnace or macerator recipe was found. If false, at least one of those two must be found to spawn the ore.
B:ForceOreSpawn=false

I checked NEI for recipes and there weren't any macerator or furnace recipes for pig iron/steel. I'm guessing that's why the ores didn't spawn. Going to test now.
