Hi,
I would suggest changing the mod recommendation from "CanalBuilder (Updated)" to "CanalBuilder Simplified." The former mod changes the way that water works to allow players and biters to swim, whereas the latter simply uses the existing vanilla shallow water mechanics. This means it fits more naturally with Alien Biomes and other mods that already use vanilla shallow water.
The swimming mechanics that come with "CanalBuilder (Updated)" may also be of interest to players who use the Cargo Ships mod, but for that, you could recommend it separately from "CanalBuilder Updated," or recommend a different mod such as "Noxys Swimming." Otherwise, it seems like an unexpected side-effect. "CanalBuilder Simplified" doesn't change any mechanics other than simply introducing canals, so it should be the one that is recommended.
