so there's a mod called the Scrimblermod that adds an item called the Scrimbler. and then there's a mod called GlurberDeluxe that adds an item called the Glurber. the Scrimbler and the Glurber are different items that change different aspects of the game. i like both of these mods. can i use them both?

I don't have enough information to know.

#3795:

why have a settings screen in your game? if you don't like the FOV, just fork it and change it.

The settings screen does not overwhelm the player with choice, and none of the setting have a significant effect on the fundamental gameplay (generally).

#3796:

having many forks WILL in practice lead to horrible incompatbility, developers not collaborating on things or standardizing anything, etc.

That sounds like a rather pessimistic prediction.
