RedAndCosmoteer There would be a way. It's really complicated and involves some huge lot of pointless work tho. Therefore I really wouldn't recommend you to not even try it, as you could simply add the parts of one mod to the other instead, saving you most of the work but prohibiting you from using the same name or sprite more than once.
(I believe jbox wouldn't want it to be compatible btw, as he made automaton to replace drones.)
