How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a vital mechanic in *Atomfall* as you navigate through the quarantined zone. You'll frequently find yourself needing items that aren't readily available, especially in hazardous areas. However, your crafting abilities are contingent upon acquiring **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first secure 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 need to collect or barter to create items. With sufficient inventory space and resources, you can craft as many items as required. If your inventory is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items.
If you're running out of room, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
