Hallo! I think these 2 mods might work very well together, as BI makes plastic and sulfuric acid not rely esclusively on OIL like IR does. The wood production is also much more interesting in BI than in IR.
IR_link: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/IndustrialRevolution
BI_link: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Bio_Industries
important, Bio Industrie also need:
Factorio Standard Library by Nexela: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/stdlib
Have no idea how mods work because i am not into modding ... so on this part i can not help. But i think the wood part production might for sure be problematic as both mod add contents there, and IR also add rubber wood (see link provided below for maybe some help).
At the moment the error, which is encountered only if both BI and Factorio Standard library are loaded (NOTE: no errors with BI alone but mod not working ingame) is this (thx to NoaAldritt who took the time to write it down):

I know these are 2 huge mods so i think it will not be an easy job ... sorry but the only way i can help is with 10€ on paypal once the job is done :)
