Limit on mod dependencies
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of dependencies you can specify in info.json?

That's the number of mods on the portal right now. So unless you have your own unpublished library of mods then you are at least limited by the number of mods in existence.
I haven't heard of any such limit though so I can't really answer the question properly. Are you perhaps going to download all mods by using the dependency feature?

Re: Limit on mod dependencies
A dependency will either force a mod to exist before you can use it, or force it to load before yours if you make it optional (question mark before the name)
For the most part, Bob's mods becomes as compatible with other mods as possible by doing 2 things.
1, Add as many entities and items to the game as possible in the data stage
2, Assume nothing, always check even for your own things.
3, use a dynamic system, don't just table.insert to add an ingredient to a recipe, check if it exists already, and increase the quantity instead if applicable.
4, Use or write a library to make all this easier.
