Crafting is a vital skill for surviving in the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, where creating weapons and recovery items can make all the difference. However, before you can start crafting, you must first acquire the necessary recipes. If you're looking to master the art of crafting, here's a detailed guide on where to find all the crafting recipe locations in *Atomfall*.
How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall
As you navigate the treacherous quarantined zones in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes an essential part of your survival strategy. In this game, you won't find the items you need just lying around, especially in hazardous areas. To craft these crucial items, you must first secure the crafting recipes. For example, to make Bandages, you need the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have a recipe, access your inventory and use it to unlock the crafting option permanently.
Each recipe lists the specific resources you'll need to gather or barter for crafting. With sufficient space in your inventory and the required resources, you can create as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, you'll have to make room by selling, using, or dropping items. Don't forget, you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store excess items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
