Author:Kristen Update:Apr 12,2025

Crafting is an essential survival skill in *Atomfall*, whether you're looking to create weapons or recovery items. To master this art, you first need to track down the crafting recipes. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you find every crafting recipe location in the game.

How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

As you navigate the quarantined zone in *Atomfall*, crafting becomes a vital part of your journey. You'll often need items that are hard to come by, especially in the more perilous regions. Unlike traditional games where crafting might be tied to levels or stations, *Atomfall* locks your ability to craft behind specific **crafting recipes**. For example, to make Bandages, you must first secure the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you've got it, head to your inventory, and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe details the resources required to create the item. With enough space in your inventory and the necessary materials, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll have to clear some space by selling, using, or discarding items. If you're running out of room, remember that you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store additional items and retrieve them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
