Iron Furnace is missing as he mentioned in his Steam mod comments. It can be fixed by adding it to any book in Books.txt under "Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\498441420\mods\Hydrocraft\media\scripts" . I added it to HCBookindustrial book: line 1147, which is the Industrial Mechanics Textbook:
