How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

As you navigate the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes an indispensable tool for your survival. You'll often find yourself in need of specific items that are scarce in the wild, particularly in the game's more perilous regions.
However, your ability to craft these much-needed items isn't unlocked through leveling or at crafting stations; instead, it's tied directly to **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once in possession of the recipe, simply access your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.
Each recipe details the resources you'll need to gather or barter to create your items. Provided you have the space in your inventory and sufficient resources, you can craft as many items as you need. Should your backpack become full, you'll have to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items.
If you run out of inventory space, remember you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
