GalaxySpace Ore Generation (please help)

Hrrm, I am not actually sure my Worldgen for Ores works on the GalaxySpace Planets, you say you found Rocks, yes? I would then suggest checking the Config part that generates Rocks on the Surface and see if the “Name” of the Dimension is listed there.

When it comes to the Configs themselves there is one simple Rule: Dimension Names are only ever listed if some Worldgen has ALREADY TAKEN PLACE in said Dimension, otherwise GT6 simply does not know that Dimension even exists in the first place, nor which generator to use for said Dimension.

If you want to make super sure something generates add both variants of the default into it such as, for your example if it is proper:

B:Venus_false=true
B:Venus_true=true

This way no matter what the Default happens to be, it will pick “true”. Though if the default is true one might argue you only need to add the “_false=true” Line.

Now for the REAL Issue, GalaxySpace has two very different Versions for 1.7.10, and I do not have Ore Blocks for them due to some Block Name chaos they caused by removing half their Features in the later Versions… This practically means even if you would set Ores to generate, they either end up being vanilla Stone Ores (and look ugly as fuck) or they end up not finding any Stone to generate in.
I dont know which of the two happens because testing GalaxySpace is a pain in the ass, at least it was last time I tried.

If you want Ore Veins, you will have to use the GT5 Style Veins. For this you need to use the Config File aptly named “old_barely_used_gt5_style_garbage_worldgen.cfg”, which perfectly reflects my personal opinion on the Stuff Past-Greg has done.

Then set this Config to a Number that is not zero, depending on how many different Veins you want to add. This example adds 12.

I:AmountOfCustomLargeVeinSlots_0=12

Then launch the Game once, so the Config can populate the Custom Ore Generation Slots.
And there you have it then, just search for the custom section where it likely says “NULL” when it comes to generating Ores, and replace the NULL with the Ore you want to generate. Then use your knowledge to set all the dimensions to what you want them to contain, and i mean ALL of them, Overworld, Nether, End, Moon, Mars, they all may need to be set to “_true=false” so they do not generate on anything other than your Planet.

Do you think this process is convoluted garbage? If so, yes I know…
