Crafting is a vital part of *Atomfall*'s gameplay, especially as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll often need specific items that aren't readily available, particularly in more hazardous areas. In *Atomfall*, crafting items is contingent on obtaining **crafting recipes**. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, head to your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe specifies the resources you need to gather or barter to craft items. Provided you have enough space in your inventory and the requisite resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your inventory is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items.

If you run out of room, remember that Pneumatic Tubes can be used to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
