In *Atomfall*, crafting plays a vital role as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll frequently need items that are scarce in the more hazardous regions. Crafting in the game, however, is not unlocked through leveling or crafting stations but rather through **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have the recipe, access your inventory to use it and permanently unlock the crafting ability.

Each recipe specifies the resources required to craft the item. As long as you have sufficient inventory space and the necessary resources, you can craft items repeatedly. If your backpack becomes full, you'll need to clear some space by selling, consuming, or discarding items. If you're running out of room, consider using Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can retrieve later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
