How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting plays a crucial role in Atomfall as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, especially in the more perilous regions. Unlike traditional games where crafting might depend on leveling up or specific stations, in Atomfall, your crafting ability hinges on acquiring crafting recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you've obtained it, access your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe details the resources you need to gather or trade to create your items. As long as your inventory has space and you possess the required resources, you can craft as many items as necessary. If your backpack is full, you'll need to make room by selling, consuming, or discarding items.

When space becomes an issue, remember that Pneumatic Tubes are available for storing extra items, which you can retrieve later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
