by Liam May 12,2025

Crafting is a vital part of surviving in *Atomfall*, whether you're creating weapons or essential recovery items. To craft these items, you must first collect their respective recipes. If you're eager to uncover all the crafting secrets, here's your comprehensive guide to finding every crafting recipe location in the game.

How to Use Crafting Recipes in Atomfall

Crafting is a cornerstone of Atomfall's gameplay as you navigate the quarantined zone. You'll often find yourself needing items that aren't readily available, particularly in more perilous areas.

However, your ability to craft items isn't based on leveling up or using crafting stations; instead, it's locked behind crafting recipes. For example, to craft Bandages, you first need to acquire the Bandage crafting recipe. Once you have it, head to your inventory and use the recipe to unlock it permanently.

Each recipe details the resources you need to gather or trade to create items. As long as you have sufficient space in your inventory and the required resources, you can craft as many items as you need. If your backpack is full, you'll have to free up some space by selling, consuming, or dropping items.

If you're running out of room, remember you can use Pneumatic Tubes to store extra items and access them later at any Pneumatic Tube location.
