How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a vital part of your journey through the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*. You'll often need items that aren't readily available, particularly in more hazardous areas. However, crafting in *Atomfall* is contingent on acquiring specific **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you first need to secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you've obtained a recipe, head to your inventory and use it to unlock the item permanently.
Each recipe details 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 have to make room by selling, using, or discarding items. When you're short on space, consider using Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
