I can send you my config, but with my build I'd say we actually have TOO MUCH iron. The thing is, the default settings of 0-128 means that ore can fail to spawn.

Wait. There's iron ore in the ground? I hadn't needed to notice... :)

Please and thank you. At this point I'm just trying to figure out if I am having world gen problems, or the configs are just set too low.

I definitely appreciate what you're saying. This was a problem Saice and I noticed in early Resonant Rise testing.

Its funny cause in thread 1 of this topic they talk about poo and Minefactory... I have not found any poo yet... But I did install some Of those farming blocks that take plants.. About 8 of them on pumpkin farm.. And now I have this waste product that I have to pump into a tank... Its not a lot yet but after awhile its going to add up.. Think its called sludge.. Guess I will have to look it up and see what it does.. Power source most likely.

I usually void it with a void pipe. You can cook it in a sludge boiler to make dirt, sand, clay, soul sand, and a few other dirt like substances based on what mods you have installed. Also as a side note if you are going to use a sludge boiler, be aware that if you come close to it when it's running it will poison you. Oh and lakes o poo and sludge do exist I have seen them.

Also, I'm looking forward to the next drop of Xycraft for 1.5.1. Its power system supposedly will play with buildcraft and he has power storage. Looks really cool.
This reminds me, I'm looking forward to the possibility of turning off Xycraft Quartz generation. Damn laggy crystals that destroy everything they touch.

Will you be able to do this? That's awfully nice.

I use Xycraft tanks, so I can't uninstall Xycraft. Would be nice if I could just not have the crystals generate.

Actually no. It's toxic stuff. You can turn it into dirt, clay and soul sand with a sludge boiler but it makes the area around it a no-go zone. Liquid voiding is easiest.

It's just wishful thinking, sadly. But who knows, maybe Soaryn will remember to put a config for that in the next release.

I just wanna add that TE Engines have always shut themselves off before blowing up my buildcraft power pipes. I've been very happy with that change; because tbh I really was starting to miss the blue lasers.
Shut up and take my money. I need that modpack! I really want Metallurgy.

You know what would make it easier? If Slowpoke would let me publish via FTB as a real modpack and not a private one. Go ask him.

P.S., this is literally just off the top of my head. I have no idea how feasible this is. I think if this happened the only mod author I'd have to go beg to is the author of Ars Magica. My plan is to start with a donation to Childs Play or Project Ada and for each mod that agrees I donate more per mod. I feel like this is a worthy cause and a good outcome for everyone.

Can I be, like, a betatester? You could send me the link in a PM or something.
Please and Thank You, early on.

A bunch of people are. Let me finish this BoP 0.5.2 mess and hope that fixes our big memory leak. If it does several people are on the slate to be invited.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but at least an access would be cool. Metallurgy hates ID Resolver, so I can't seem to add it in.

That would be cooler than cool.

and maybe less poo?

Seriously though, there's nothing but brown patches on my mini map. I had to save the Ars Magica villager from a pool of sewage underneath his house. Then the mini-golem sidekick guy fell in the sewage. Its insane. My world is polluted, there's weird blue orbs flying about that I don't believe are wisps, I've died from more creepers in a day than ever. Its like my modpack is based on Thundarr the Barbarian

-Added: New Item: Invar Armor. It's better than Iron.

...
MPS Charging and Cyclic Assembler. Woot!
