FAQs

How do I tweak the ore gen?
- Mekanism world generation settings also apply to the mod ores' placement and amount.
- Individual ore variant can be overridden via datapacks. See data/mekanismaaa/worldgen/configured_feature folder in the JAR file for details.
How do I make Ad Astra ores (e.g. Desh) work with Mekanism ore-processing?
- This feature is not included in the mod. I recommend JAOPCA or More Mekanism Processing.

This mod is not affiliated with Mekanism or Ad Astra.
