Automated Hydroponics is used to grow crops.
- It has 3 control buttons:
  - Plant (plant crop seed from Input Chute)
  - Clear / Harvest (delete crop / Harvest crop and place it to Output chute)
  - Power ON / OFF (this also often kill crop because of lack of growlight)
- It has only one growing slot.
- Takes up a 2x2 area.
- It includes a grow light, which can grow crops without sunlight, but requires 100 W of power.
- It is airtight.
- Temperature of the input atmosphere must be within the acceptable range for growing crops.
