Hey Danny! Do you think we should move your additions over to the original mod? I think we might be able to co-author it somehow and we could both update it, but I'm not sure. That way if either of us feel up to it we could update it for using the new features of the helper mod or something.
That could work, yes, but I don't think we have a way to be able to co-author like that, as far as I'm aware. For the time being, unless you plan on doing enhancements to the base mod, keeping the two mods separate should be fine, for now.
