Distribution options for Applied Energistics Ores. Should Custom Ore Generation handle Applied Energistics ore generation? Controls how Certus Quartz is generated Applied Energistics Certus Quartz Large veins filled very lightly with ore. Simulates Vanilla Minecraft. Large irregular clouds filled lightly with ore. Frequency multiplier for Applied Energistics Certus Quartz distributions Applied Energistics Certus Quartz Freq. Size multiplier for Applied Energistics Certus Quartz distributions Applied Energistics Certus Quartz Size Replace vanilla-generated ore clusters. The global option deferredPopulationRange must be large enough to catch all ore clusters (>= 32). Large veins filled very lightly with ore. Because they contain less ore per volume, these veins are relatively wide and long. Mining the ore from them is time consuming compared to solid ore veins. They are also more difficult to follow, since it is harder to get an idea of their direction while mining. A master preset for standardgen ore distributions. Large irregular clouds filled lightly with ore. These are huge, spanning several adjacent chunks, and consequently rather rare. They contain a sizeable amount of ore, but it takes some time and effort to mine due to low density. The intent for strategic clouds is that the player will need to actively search for one and then set up a semi-permanent mining base and spend some time actually mining the ore. Single blocks, generously scattered through all heights (density is about that of vanilla iron ore). They will replace dirt and sandstone (but not grass or sand), so they can be found nearer to the surface than most ores. Intened to be used as a child distribution for large, rare strategic deposits that would otherwise be very difficult to find. Note that the frequency is multiplied by ground level to maintain a constant density, but not by ore frequency because it is assumed that the frequency of the parent distribution will already be scaled by that.
