Graveyard & burial
What a corpse is worth, what burial pays, and how the rating adds up.
Mechanics · read from the game’s data
Graveyard Keeper 2 mechanics
Graveyard Keeper 2 mechanics, one page per system: what happens in what order, what the numbers are, and what the conditions are. Numbers, names and conditions come from the game’s own data tables, and each page states the build it was checked against; anything measured in play or read off a video is marked as such.
Corpses & organs
What each body yields, what an autopsy removes, and what the parts are for.
Zombies
The whole system: how you get them, the seven steps to raising your own, the 68 stations they can work at, and which page owns each detail.
Sermons & faith
The weekly sermon, who comes, and where Faith comes from.
Technology
The three point colours, what unlocks what, and what the tree costs.
Talents & inspirations
How inspirations pay talent experience, and what every tree node costs.
Farming
The bed ladder, every planting line, the nine fertilizers and how a harvest adds up.
Quests & the story tree
Every node of the task tree: whose line it is, what gates it, what it pays.
Time & the week
What a tick is, how long a day runs, and what each day of the week is for.
Alchemy
The workbenches, the reagents, and what each mix turns into.
Town & trade
Town orders, gratitude, and what the town pays for.
Resources & gathering
Where the basic materials come from and what each one turns into.
Mining & ore
The nodes you break, the zombie digger stations, and the three mining zones with their build costs.
Factory & automation
The Factory zone: its buildings, the conveyor line, workbench extensions and where zombies can work.
Where to start
- 1
Graveyard & burial
What a corpse is worth, what burial pays and how the rating adds up — the loop you touch every day.
- 2
Corpses & organs
What an autopsy removes and what each part is for; it decides both your graveyard and your alchemy lines.
- 3
Technology
Where the three point colours come from and what unlocks what; the red/blue difference is the early wall.
- 4
Talents & inspirations
How growth advances: inspirations pay talent experience, points buy the tree, and that sets your mastery and perk ceiling.
- 5
Mid-game, after those
Zombie production, sermons, alchemy and town trade all need the four above as a foundation first.
