How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a pivotal part of Atomfall's gameplay, especially as you navigate the hazardous quarantined zones. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, particularly in high-risk areas. However, crafting in Atomfall isn't tied to leveling or crafting stations; it's dependent on crafting recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, access your inventory to use the recipe and unlock it permanently.
Each recipe details the resources you'll need to gather or barter to create the items. As long as you have sufficient space and resources in your inventory, you can craft as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, you'll have to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items.
If you find yourself running out of space, remember you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
