Atomfall: Complete Guide to Crafting Recipes and Locations %v

Crafting is an essential survival skill in *Atomfall*, whether you're aiming to create weapons or recovery items. To start crafting, you'll need to secure the relevant recipes. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you locate all crafting recipe locations within the game.

How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a vital element of *Atomfall* as you navigate through the quarantined zone. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, especially in hazardous areas. In *Atomfall*, crafting isn't unlocked through leveling or using crafting stations; instead, it's contingent on obtaining **crafting recipes**. For example, before crafting Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you've secured a recipe, navigate to your inventory and use it to unlock the crafting option permanently.

Each recipe lists the resources you need to gather or trade for crafting. With sufficient inventory space and resources, you can craft as many items as necessary. If your backpack is full, you'll need to clear space by selling, consuming, or discarding items. When storage becomes an issue, remember that you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
