Metal crops don't look deep enough for ore

Normal crops get humidity/nutrients from the farmland block directly below them and from the 3 dirt blocks below that, for a total of 4 blocks below the crop itself. The metal crops (Ferru, Aurelia, etc.) only look 3 blocks down for their ore, so you have to do the farmland, then a single dirt, then the ore, and it doesn't check for another dirt after the ore. I think they should look up to 4 blocks down for the ore to be consistent, or at least still check for dirt after the ore. As it is now, you have to give up the bonuses from 2 dirt blocks to place the ore.
Oh, and I think Nether Wart and Terra Wart are also affected when they check for Soul Sand or Snow, but that's harder to test.

This issue still exists as originally reported, in IC2Classic-1.12-1.5.8.jar with 1.12.2-forge-14.23.5.2859.jar
Yep this is intentionally. You still can put the ore as deep as the lowest possible dirt.
(Edit: Metal crops look 3 blocks deep for the ore under the farmland)
Well I can't. If I replace the lowest dirt with an ore they don't grow at all. I have to replace the lowest 2.
Then it's not looking 3 below the farmland. It's only looking at the one directly below the farmland and the one directly below that, which is 2 below the farmland.
Maybe this will clarify.

Metal crop: (grows)
Level 0: Crop
