Crafting is a vital component of Atomfall's gameplay as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, particularly in more perilous areas. However, crafting in the game isn't unlocked through leveling up or using crafting stations; it's tied to obtaining crafting recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first find the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, navigate to your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.
Each recipe details the resources required to craft items. As long as you have sufficient space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll need to make room by selling, consuming, or dropping items.
If you run out of space, remember that you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and access them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
