Hydroponics Expanded adds a Small and a Medium Hydroponic Station to Survival Log, and gives the game's Hydroponic Station (Large) a new look to match.
the Hydroponic Station (Small) holds one small plant and fits the Plant Grow Box (Small)'s spot. The Hydroponic Station (Medium) holds two small plants or one medium plant and fits the Plant Grow Box (Medium)'s spot. Each has its own model and icon.
while powered, the full-spectrum grow lights make plants grow 50% faster, warm them, and keep pests, weeds and dryness away, so crops need no care until harvest. Without power the lights go out and the help stops.
the game's Hydroponic Station (Large) gets a new model and icon that match the new stations. One setting gives it back its old look.
each station's pots change with what is planted. Small plants get a pot in every bay. A medium plant gets one big pot over two bays, and a large plant such as corn or watermelon gets one over all four, so it grows in the middle of its pot instead of over the bay walls. The grow lights hang high enough for the tallest crop each station takes, so the Large stands about 3.2 m tall.
Planting level 3 unlocks the Small and 4 the Medium. The Large keeps the game's unlock, the Hydroponic Cultivation talent, unless you give it a level too. Getting the Large's recipe, by the talent or its level, unlocks the other two as well. A run already past a level gets the recipe when the save loads, and each level is a setting.
the recipes sit at the workbench next to the Large's. The Small's package takes 1 Container, 1 Wire, 1 Electronic Components and 1 Iron Rod. The Medium's takes 1 Container, 1 Wire, 2 Electronic Components and 1 Iron Rod. Taking one down gives back about half, and a setting changes how much.

before the disaster, the flowerpot shops that sell the grow box of the same size sell 2 of each, the Small for 60 and the Medium for 100.
you set each station's power, growth boost, materials, what it gives back when taken down, shop price and shop stock, on the Mod Manager's Mods screen or in the config file. With Mod Manager 0.14.0 or newer you pick the materials from item cards, and the screen warns you if a station would give back more than its recipe costs.
craft a station in any of the game's 8 colours, or dye it later like the game's furniture. The orange frame takes the colour. The tubs, steel and water stay as they are.
the game saves each station as the grow box of its size, so a save still loads without the mod. Before you remove it, turn on the UninstallPrep setting and load your save: station packages in bags and storage become grow box packages, so nothing is lost. Then save, quit and delete HydroponicsExpanded.dll.
every name and description comes in both.
Small: one small plant, uses 2 power, 60 in the shops.
Medium: two small plants or one medium plant, uses 3 power, 100 in the shops.
Large: up to four plants, uses 6 power.
Every station makes plants grow 50% faster while powered.

Each material's share is rounded down, then topped up one at a time to the right total. A station whose Returns list is filled in gives back that list instead. Any value from 0 to 100.[LargeStation]0, the default, leaves it to the game's Hydroponic Cultivation talent, which unlocks it at any level. A run already at this level gets the recipe when its save loads. Any value from 0 to 5.[MediumStation]0 to 50.0.5 is 50% faster, the same as the Hydroponic Station (Large). The grow boxes give 0.3.

[Dismantle] ReturnPercent (default 50): how much of a station's materials taking it down gives back. 0 gives nothing and 100 gives back everything.Returns for each station (blank by default): what taking it down gives back. Blank follows ReturnPercent, none gives nothing back, and a list gives back exactly that.Returns shows as item cards like Materials, and the screen says why a station cannot use a list, such as one with the same materials as another recipe.[LargeStation] UnlockLevel defaults to 0. Set it to 5 for the old default. A value you already saved is kept.Materials, since picking a colour adds one.UnlockLevel for each station. 0 turns the level unlock off for that station.Materials shows as item cards with a picker, and the station's package beside them with its pieces, weight and value.GrowthBoost now reaches plants already growing, keeping the growth they have made.A Large station already placed takes its new look, or its old one, the next time the save loads. The dyed Large packages keep the game's icon.
