Crafting is an essential part of surviving in *Atomfall*, whether you're creating weapons or recovery items. To start crafting, you'll need to find the respective recipes. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you locate all the crafting recipes in the game.
How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall
Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or barter to create items. As long as you have enough space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll need to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items. If you're running out of space, remember that you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
