As you navigate the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes indispensable, particularly in hazardous areas where essential items are scarce. Unlike traditional games where crafting is tied to levels or stations, *Atomfall* requires you to collect specific crafting recipes to unlock new items.

Take, for example, the Bandage recipe. You must first acquire it before you can craft Bandages. Once you have the recipe, access your inventory and use it to unlock the crafting ability permanently. Each recipe will detail the resources needed, whether you gather them or barter for them. With enough space and materials in your inventory, you can craft items at will. Should your backpack be full, consider selling, consuming, or dropping items to free up space. For additional storage, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store and retrieve items at various locations within the game.
