I'm playing with all of Bob's mods, all of Angel's (except for petrochem), and RSO. I've seen some older posts saying that gems randomly pop out of miners (they don't for me) or that there are green dots on the map where I can mine them -- I can't find any... and I've gone really far out.

I see in the recipes that I can create crushed gems from crystal slurry, a bunch of crushed ores, and acid... Is that how things works now, or are there still gem fields out there somewhere far far away?

Angels changes the way you get gems.

So it is just through crushed gem seeds and crushing geodes?

I see that 'unsorted gem ore' is still in there as a recipe, so I thought there must be a way to still get to it.

Unsorted gem ore is mined directly from gem ore patches if you turn on the option in config mod. By default, mining my gems ore gives you the 6 types of raw gems.

But as mentioned, it is changed by angels mods.
