CoFH Ore Regen in old world not working (1.12.2)

[Jesse Yishai]

After adding Galacticraft to an existing world I discovered I would need to add aluminum and silicon ore and have used CoFH World to to do so, such as below:

"aluminum": {
    "distribution": "uniform",
    "generator": {
            "type": "cluster",
            "block": {"name": "galacticraftcore:basic_block_core", "metadata": 7},
            "material": "minecraft:stone",
            "cluster-size": 7
    },
    "cluster-count": 18,
    "min-height": 32,
    "max-height": 62,
    "retrogen": true,
    "biome": "all",
    "dimension": {
            "restriction": "blacklist",
            "value": [1,-1]
            }
    }
},

"silicon": {
    "distribution": "uniform",
    "generator": {
            "type": "cluster",
            "block": {"name": "galacticraftcore:basic_block_core", "metadata": 8},
            "material": "minecraft:stone",
            "cluster-size": 7
    },
    "cluster-count": 3,
    "min-height": 8,
    "max-height": 35,
    "retrogen": true,
    "biome": "all",
    "dimension": {
            "restriction": "blacklist",
            "value": [1,-1]
            }
    }
}

I do get messages such as:

[cofhworld]: Retro-Generating [-15, -5]

but there doesn't appear to be any ore in already explored areas . What's more, when I "give" myself some of the ore in question I sometimes get a pink and black block called a tin decoration (sometimes I get the correct block). I have found aluminum and silicon in unexplored areas and there is oil around.

Anyone encounter anything like this? Any thoughts?

Hi I'm very interested in this topic. My son loves Galacticraft and we've been looking for Aluminum for a long time. I'm using a scanner but no luck. I Have Thermal Foundation as well. Have you had any luck finding Aluminum? I know how to find \AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\config\Galacticraft but I dont' know where to find the necessary .json files. Any step by step instructions would be SOooo appreciated! I learn very quickly.

There's was talk somewhere about creating a Galacticraft.json file but I don't know how to do that. I'm sure it's probably pretty straightforward if anyone could help me get started. What folder should the file exist in? How do I create the file?

Thanks so much...

Hi, did somebody solve retro-generation for galacticraft?
