I've been mining for a few hours (IRL) and I've noticed something that really worries me: I have yet to find any naturally generated redstone ore. I've searched levels from y=72 all the way down to y=8, and not a single ore block. All the redstone I've gotten has come from looted redstone blocks in those castle-dungeon things. I've also noticed the same thing with lapis; all the lapis I've gotten has come from meteors. Are these supposed to be rarer than diamond (even for FTB), or am I just not looking hard enough? I've found plenty of gold and iron, ores that in previous packs were quite rare, but no lapis or redstone.

In monster, all vanilla generation is disabled via COFHWorld.
COFHWorld-Generation.cfg has the parameters that add it back again, using CoFHWorld's generators:
So, search between 5 and 12 and you should find it. In vanilla it generates from 1 to 16, so the height restriction of 12 does make it rather more difficult to find perhaps.

Had the same problem with diamonds for a while because I wasn't really searching low enough.
I went down to y=6 and now I'm swimming in diamonds (and redstone and lapis). Looks like I just wasn't going down far enough. Thanks!
