The source of this information came originally from a post on vanguard crafters.
Crafting manuals allow housing and boat crafters (ie artificers) to refine more supplies than the 5 normally allowed. T3 is 10 per, T4 is 15 per, T5 is 20 per, T6 is 25 per. When producing supplies in mass to craft houses and boats, these manuals are invaluable to the crafter. Once again, thanks to the original posters of this information on Vanguard crafters.
