Author : Ethan Update : May 03,2025

In *Atomfall*, crafting is essential for survival, whether you're looking to create weapons or recovery items. To start crafting, you'll need to find the specific recipes for each item. Here’s your comprehensive guide to discovering all crafting recipe locations in the game.

How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

As you navigate the quarantined zones in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes a vital part of your strategy. You'll often need items that are scarce or hard to find, especially in the more perilous regions. Crafting in *Atomfall* is unique because it relies on acquiring **crafting recipes** rather than traditional leveling or using crafting stations. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have a recipe, you can access it in your inventory to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or trade to craft your desired items. As long as you have enough space in your inventory and the necessary resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. For additional storage, you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
