extrabiomes support?

I have a lot (30-40) of Tourmaline and few (1-2) other gems, is it by design? Can I tweak gem rates somehow?

Just fly around a ravine in creative mode, you will see a dominance of tourmaline.

One more issue. I increased the gem rate (I:"Rarity of Mystic Gems"=15) and tried to generate a new world.

o my god i love the mod

I actually like that Mystic Ruins has it's own separate loot table, though if you can possible give it a chance to have items from the normal chest loot table, that would be cool.

I'd suggest changing the loot tables for the Gold and Iron Chests though. My suggestion is this.
Iron Chests: 4-10 Iron Ingots, 3-8 Gold Ingots, 0-3 Emeralds, 0-1 random Iron Armor Piece, 0-1 random Iron Weapon or Tool, 4-8 Arrows, 2-5 Bones, 2-3 Bread.
Gold Chests: 4-10 Gold Ingots, 3-8 Diamonds, 0-5 Emeralds, 0-1 random Diamond Armor Piece, 0-1 random Diamond Weapon or Tool, 1-5 Ender Pearls, 0-4 Golden Apples.

I'd probably increase the default distance between the Mystic Ruins, I found them way to easy, on a hardcore mode world. Also are the only ruins surface ruins? Or are there underground ruins much like what was shown on the original thread? As I haven't found those yet.

I can second the above claim of Tourmaline being very common. I probably never noticed it because I'm really focused when I go mining - if I need iron, all I nab is iron. Also it's a nice exercise in memorizing my cave systems if you make a couple trips for things you need. Maybe that's just me. When I actually did go looking for your gemstones though, yeah, metric crapton of Tourmaline and a couple amethyst. I'd imagine an experiment with a 16² Buildcraft quarry would give a decent sample of how off the worldgen ratios are.

On a side note, I somewhat have noticed the same issue with Mythril. All I have *found* is Mythril, nothing else. Could there be an issue there too or am I unlucky?

Oooh, pretty - problem solved! And facades, great idea! Hmm, I should actually use the reinforced glass for something (I like the look of it more than the reinforced glass from IC2). Does it have Connected Texture support? I don't remember. ><

Quote from oitsjustjose

It does not, I plan on working on it looking similar to Xycraft's Glass viewers

Awesome! I really like the XyCraft dev's sense of aesthetics. Kind of a shame the rest is big meh. Looking forward to shimmery glass!

Jose what did you think of my mystic ruins suggestions few posts up? I think that's a more balanced loot table than the current loot tables.

Any idea when the upgraded Ruins mod will be up for download?

The Painterly Pack supports the old version of the Mystic Mods, but it doesn't work with this new version. Still, I managed to edit the sprites file and get some Painterly textures in there.

I shot Rhodox an e-mail about supporting the new version. Maybe if more people do the same, the Painterly Pack would support it again?

EDIT: I have ThaumCraft 2 and RedPower 2 installed as well, and I think they work well together. It makes mining through the earth much more interesting than vanilla Minecraft.
