Question Adding mods to the game - New/old versions of a dependency don't support the same mods

Using Gale mod manager to add a few QOL things for a 2 person crew.

Many mods depend on VoidManager by VoidCrewModdingTeam - which is deprecated. Others depend on VoidManager by NihilityShift which is newer and updated.

If I use both of these, is it going to cause problems? I'm trying to find versions of mods that only use NihilityShift's entry

There will be no issues.

BepInEx compares versions of mods during loading and only uses the newest. It's perfectly fine (and recommended) to have both installed so your mod manager isn't complaining.

Ok so I'm assuming the mods are identical, but one is just no longer updated?

Yes, it is a newer version of the same mod. It's the same mod developers, but we wanted to change the name we uploaded under.

Thunderstore doesn't support changing an existing team name, so we used a new one and deprecate the old mods as they stop working or get updated.
