How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

In *Atomfall*, crafting is vital for navigating the hazardous quarantined zones. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, especially in high-risk areas. However, crafting isn't tied to your level or crafting stations; it's all about collecting the right recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once obtained, head to your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources required to craft the item. With sufficient space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, you'll need to manage it by selling, consuming, or dropping items to make room. If you're running out of space, consider using Pneumatic Tubes to store excess items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
