Crafting is a vital part of *Atomfall*'s gameplay as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, particularly in hazardous areas. However, crafting in *Atomfall* isn't unlocked through leveling up or using crafting stations; it's dependent on acquiring **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, access your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or barter for crafting. As long as you have sufficient space in your inventory and the required resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, you'll need to manage it by selling, consuming, or dropping items to free up space.

When you're running out of room, consider using Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
