As you navigate the perilous landscapes of *Atomfall*, crafting becomes a lifeline. Essential items are often scarce, especially in high-risk zones. However, crafting in *Atomfall* is contingent on acquiring specific crafting recipes. For example, before you can craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once obtained, head to your inventory to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe will detail the resources needed to craft your items. With ample space in your inventory and the right materials, you can create as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll have to clear some space by selling, using, or dropping items. Remember, you can also use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
