Helpy recipe stations

Choose a station in Recipes to work with its crafting or processing table rows. The picker uses those native rows rather than item outputs or unrelated recipe arrays. A compatible row must expose a typed StationBuildingPieceData reference and a supported native recipe collection. Vendor rows are excluded by their actual bIsVendor value, not by a filename containing the word "vendor". Independent mod tables remain supported when they expose those native contracts.

Physical station names/icons come from the bound BuildingPieceData.DisplayName and DisplayIcon, with native station-row display overrides retained. If the station asset is not loaded, only that explicit binding is resolved; at most 64 such loads are attempted per catalog request. The normal icon renderer receives the cooked station texture path. The generic crafting symbol remains a fallback when content supplies no usable icon; an output armor/weapon icon is not substituted.

Unlinked native recipe menus may still be reported as existing recipe placements, but are not offered as physical stations in the picker. Loading an existing recipe prefers an actual station when both menu and station placements are available. Saving an override without adding a station preserves its original native placements.

Station membership is inspected from native reference arrays, with exact full object-path comparison. It no longer serializes the complete collection through the generic item editor's 64-element reader. Limits are 65,536 entries per recipe array and 262,144 references per inspection. Large crafting categories (including the 21,982-recipe regression fixture) can therefore resolve the correct station without lifting unrelated item-editor limits.

These paths have source/build checks. Native station textures and physical placement coverage still require an in-game check on Steam and Game Pass.
