Thank you. I will disable the mods to determine whether one of them is causing the issue. My guess is that it might be the alien-biomes mod.

I'm not sure if this has been reported. I just returned after two years, and as I remember, the ore patches seemed to be unlimited in version 1.x. However, in my new 2.x game, I can't find additional patches outside the starting area. Is this by design, or could it be a bug in version 2.x?
