Crafting plays a pivotal role in navigating Atomfall's post-apocalyptic setting. Whether you're scavenging dangerous zones or managing limited resources, having the right tools can make all the difference. While crafting stations and leveling up contribute to your progression, the core of your crafting abilities lies within these essential recipes.

Each recipe provides step-by-step instructions for creating specific items. From basic bandages to advanced explosives, each requires specific materials, which you can gather through exploration, trading, or looting. Once acquired, recipes remain permanently unlocked in your inventory, enabling you to craft items as needed.

If your inventory fills up, don’t panic—you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store excess items and retrieve them later at designated locations.
