If "work well together with no issues" means that the game remains TMO then you are not correct. There are enemy AI changes, there are graphics changes, there is almost no realm of the game that Lurker did not enter and muck up with "adjustments." TMO/RSRDC is not TMO at all. It is RSRDC. The list of non-campaign stuff in RSRDC is just sickening. He should just have popped out his own supermod and not pretended to be "compatible" with GFO (Webster did an RSRDC nerf mod to restore most of what Lurker changed), RFB (no reaction at all from the RFB Team even though their mod was decimated), and TMO (ditto. Even Duci's evil airplanes are completely gone with RSRDC).
That is not my definition of a campaign mod. It is not my definition of "work well together with no issues." The game doesn't crash but it overwrites and changes TMO's carefully balanced settings. That leaves you just playing the RSRDC supermod.

That's opinion if you like TMO settings, but if you've looked at RSRD files, it hardly touches anything but the campaign files and some of the platform sensors had some minor changes.
And while TMO is great, the balanced settings are opinion and the intent of the maker, many of us prefer a different approach. For instance, many don't like the env.... I hate the fact one can not do realistic night surface attacks, so I changed the env to where I can get in closer based on light values, no moon nights much closer than full moon nights. They're numerous great mods that work just fine with TMO if you know the intent of the changes...I prefer a harder AI than TMO for sonar values.... it's not rocket science.
You almost always imply modding TMO ruins it, it doesn't work that way, it can improve based on your play style, some like it harder, some like it easier. TMO is merely the work of numerous mods combined with Duci's work. Hell, Duc himself constantly mods his own work...it's no different.
