Crafting plays a pivotal role in surviving the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, whether you're creating weapons or essential recovery items. To unlock the full potential of crafting, you'll need to gather various recipes scattered throughout the game. Here's your ultimate guide to discovering all the crafting recipe locations in *Atomfall*.
How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall
As you navigate the perilous quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes a vital tool for survival. You'll often need items that aren't readily available, particularly in hazardous areas. The key to crafting these essentials lies in obtaining the necessary **crafting recipes**. For example, before you can craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, head to your inventory to use the recipe and unlock it permanently.
Each recipe details the specific resources you'll need to gather or barter to create the item. With enough resources and space in your inventory, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. For additional storage, you can utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
