Crafting is a vital part of your journey in *Atomfall* as you navigate the hazardous areas. You'll frequently need items that aren't readily available, especially in the more perilous zones.

However, crafting in *Atomfall* isn't unlocked by leveling up or visiting crafting stations; it's dependent on obtaining **crafting recipes**. For example, before you can craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have the recipe, access your inventory to use it and unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources needed to create items. With sufficient inventory space and resources, you can craft as many items as you require. If your inventory is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or discarding items.

If you're running out of room, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can retrieve later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
