How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a fundamental aspect of *Atomfall*'s gameplay. As you explore the game's world, you'll often need items that aren't readily available, particularly in more hazardous areas. Unlike traditional games where crafting is unlocked through leveling or specific stations, *Atomfall* requires you to find **crafting recipes** to unlock new items. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, navigate to your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.
Each recipe lists the resources you'll need to gather or barter to create the item. As long as you have the necessary resources and space in your inventory, you can craft as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, you'll need to free up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. Don't forget, you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and access them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
