In *Atomfall*, crafting is not just a convenience—it's a necessity, especially in more dangerous areas where resources are scarce. Unlike other games where crafting might be tied to levels or stations, *Atomfall* requires you to unlock crafting abilities through specific recipes. For example, before you can craft Bandages, you must first obtain the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have the recipe, navigate to your inventory to use it, permanently unlocking the ability to craft that item.

Each recipe lists the resources you need to gather or barter to create 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 inventory is full, consider freeing up space by selling, consuming, or dropping items. Alternatively, utilize Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items, which you can access later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
