How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a crucial component of *Atomfall*'s gameplay as you explore the quarantined zone. In more perilous areas, you'll often find yourself needing items that aren't readily available. However, your ability to craft these items is not tied to leveling up or specific crafting stations; instead, it's dependent on acquiring **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, you can access your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or barter to create items. As long as you have space in your inventory and the required resources, you can craft as many items as needed. If your backpack is full, you'll need to clear space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. If you run out of room, remember that you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
