In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, crafting is not just a hobby—it's a lifeline. Whether you're looking to whip up some weapons or recovery items, knowing where to find the necessary crafting recipes is essential. Here's your ultimate guide to discovering all crafting recipe locations in the game.
How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall
As you navigate the treacherous quarantined zones of *Atomfall*, crafting becomes your best friend. You'll often find yourself in dire need of items that aren't readily available, particularly in hazardous areas. However, unlocking the ability to craft these vital items hinges on securing specific crafting recipes. For example, before you can create Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you've acquired it, head to your inventory, select the recipe, and unlock it permanently.
Each recipe provides a detailed list of the resources required to craft the item. Provided you have the necessary space in your inventory and the resources, you can craft as many items as you need. Should your backpack be full, you'll need to clear some space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. Don't forget, you can also use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
