Crafting plays a pivotal role in surviving the harsh world of *Atomfall*, whether you're fabricating weapons or essential recovery items. However, to unlock the ability to craft these items, you'll first need to acquire their respective recipes. This guide will walk you through all the locations where you can find these crucial crafting recipes in the game.

Crafting is an integral part of *Atomfall*'s gameplay, especially as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll often find yourself needing items that aren't just lying around, particularly in the more dangerous areas. The key to crafting in *Atomfall* isn't tied to leveling up or using specific crafting stations; instead, it's all about securing the right **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, head to your inventory, use the recipe, and it will be permanently unlocked for future use.
Each recipe details the resources required to create the item. As long as you have the space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll have to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items. If you're running out of space, remember you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and access them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
