Provide in-game user guide for technic #409

Technic is quite complex, it should have in-game interactive user guide book (with TOC, links, images, navigatable), I believe there are solutions available already.

Yes, that would be cool. Although, If the manual will be converted to a book i don't know how many people gonna read that. Because, let's be honest; it's quite lengthy. 📦

A dictionary kind of book would be awesome to search specific things in that. But still creativity will be your own. It can help with only information; which can be found using a browser and link to the manual too. A book will stop switching to browser though. 👍

I have referred most of the time to players in game or in IRC to this manual. Most of them take a peek and run away telling "it's lengthy" or "i am not good at reading" or "later i will read" etc. xD Some of them do read it though and say a nice thanks to me :)

So, i think it's basically boils down to something like "patient player who enjoys the journey" vs. "impatient player to gulp it all in one take and get to destination" xD

It can be made shorter, book will consist of chapters, each will have "how to craft" picture, short description, and how to use it.

an ingame manuall with pictures would be awesome, or rather a pictureguide with an explaination or two. might add some load to media though. If this is done a general enough mod I can imagine people would find many uses for such an ingame information source.

Maybe at least an integration with doc mod could provide some basic information about each node uses and some chapters related to technic mechanics (how to start, etc.). Sadly, it has no support for pictures yet.
