In *Atomfall*, crafting is essential for survival, whether you're looking to create weapons or recovery items. To craft these essential items, you'll first need to secure their respective recipes.

As you navigate the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes a vital part of your gameplay. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, especially in high-risk areas. However, crafting isn't unlocked through traditional means like leveling up or using crafting stations. Instead, it's contingent on obtaining **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, head to your inventory, use the recipe, and unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or barter to craft the item. As long as you have enough space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll need to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items. Don't forget, you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and access them at any Pneumatic Tube location later on.
