Crafting an antidote in Atomfall

Crafting plays a vital role in surviving the quarantined zone of Atomfall. Whether you need medical supplies or makeshift weapons, you'll first need to unlock their crafting recipes. This guide covers all known recipe locations to help you become self-sufficient in this hostile environment.

Understanding Crafting Mechanics

Unlike many survival games, Atomfall requires you to find physical recipe items before you can craft anything. For example, you won't be able to make Bandages until you discover the Bandage recipe. Once obtained, simply use the recipe from your inventory to permanently unlock that crafting option.

The game provides multiple ways to acquire recipes – some are given through story progression, others can be purchased from traders, while many are hidden throughout the world. Keep an eye out for notes on desks, bulletin boards, and inside containers.
