### Techage Manual
All techage manuals (EN/DE) are available ingame (craft the 'TA Construction Board')
or use the manual on [GitHub](https://github.com/joe7575/techage/wiki).
### Licenses
All mods have their own licenses. See the license files in the subfoldes.
The modpack itself has the same license as the Mod Techage.
### Further Dependencies
Required: Minetest Game
ta4_jetpack requires the modpack 3d_armor. 3d_armor is itself a modpack and can't be integrated into the techage modpack.
