Both add their own apiary mechanics, as well as products made from them. Would it be possible to add some support for the two mods together?

I endorse this! :3 It would be really cool

What kind of compat are we talking about?

For starters, both add a honey fluid.

@Tschipp I think he means oreDict compat. Both Erebus and Rustic use the Forestry name for.honey for the fluid and dropHoney for honey drop. Source:

@Sunconure11 If you meant something else it helps being as specific as you can. You're being vague.

Rustic honey can be made into mead, for one thing. Rustic apiaries also grow plants around them a bit, and require bees in the form of items.

OreDict should be sufficient for Rustic to use the Animania Honey for mead.
The Rustic apiaries are their own mechanic that provide their own bee item, I see no need for Animania to provide any sort of support for this as there is no interaction between the two different bees...

I agree. We can do oredict.

I just noticed that the animania honey seems to overwrite the rustic honey. At least the rustic mead cannot be made if animania is present.

@evertx how? Animania's (fluid) honey name is "animania_honey". I can't imagine how that would override rustic honey.

But oredict has been added.

Mangoose said that rustic checks for a fluid that has the name honey. I wouldn't know where the exact issue would be. Digging in code I barely understand is not recommended :D
