Mystcraft Question!

[Icedd5578]

Hey guys. I noticed something sorta odd when playing around with Mystcraft. When I created a Dense Ores age and ran a quarry in it, the ores it was mining were not consistent with Overworld and other Mystcraft ages I created. I'm using the DW20 pack and I'm pretty sure it uses TE ores as default ores for worldgen. Is it possible that Dense Ores does not use the same worldgen configs? If so can they be changed? The ores keep clogging up my Sorting Machines.

Dense ores read from the ore dictionary for determination of what will be mapped. You essentially have only one option and that is to account for them in the sorting process. You can run the items through the omnitools mod forge lexicon to convert them but you can also just toss them into the various smelters/etc and get the desired end result.

But not in the latest update: http://binarymage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=340

• Dense Ores no longer gets its ore gen from the ore dictionary

This is in the next update, so I guess it is up to you if you want to pour any significant effort into building something that will break/be useless in the next update.

Thanks for the heads up. My Dense Ore Age got overrun by Purple Decay so I abandoned it anyway. I'll just wait for the next update then!

Ouch! That decay is scary stuff. I think I'm going to look over any new age before I do any building.. I'd hate to lose any work :-( I get sad when creepers blow up anything, I'd hate to see how I feel if I lose a whole world to decay.

As long as you make a world with all the necessary (valid) parameters, you shouldn't have to worry about instability.

I thought that the more rare parameters added a degree of instability? Dense Ores is very likely to have instability, for example.

That's probably what he meant with valid parameters. That stuff like dense ore is not a 'valid' parameter and will create instability.
