How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall
Screenshot by The Escapist Crafting plays a pivotal role in *Atomfall* as you navigate the quarantined zone. You’ll often need items that are scarce, particularly in hazardous areas. However, crafting in *Atomfall* is contingent upon acquiring specific crafting recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once in your possession, access your inventory to use the recipe and permanently unlock it.
Each recipe details the resources you need to gather or barter to craft items. Provided you have sufficient inventory space and resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. Additionally, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items for later access at any Pneumatic Tube location.
