Crafting is an essential survival skill in *Atomfall*, crucial for creating weapons and recovery items. To master this skill, you'll need to gather the necessary crafting recipes. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you locate all the crafting recipes in the game.
As you navigate the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes indispensable, especially in hazardous areas where essential items are scarce. Unlike traditional games where crafting might be tied to levels or stations, *Atomfall* requires you to unlock crafting capabilities through specific recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you must first acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, access your inventory to unlock the recipe permanently.
Each recipe details the resources needed to craft items. With sufficient inventory space and 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, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and retrieve them at any Pneumatic Tube location.
Below is a detailed list of all crafting recipes available in *Atomfall*. Some recipes can be found in multiple locations or through different methods. Traders may offer them, or you might stumble upon them on a random corpse. Recipes with multiple confirmed locations are noted below.
