Graveyard Keeper 2 paper

Paper in Graveyard Keeper 2 is a two-station chain, not a single recipe: the Formulation Bench makes Paper glop out of flax or wheat, and the Paper Press turns it into Clean Paper — which the Writing Desk then spends on prayers, notes and newspapers.

“Made at” names the station that can make each ingredient, and the line under it is the actual recipe (inputs → yield, ticks); “no producing row” means the recipe, alchemy mix and crop tables all come up empty — you gather, hunt, buy or loot it instead.

Common questions

How do you make paper step by step?
1) Formulation Bench: 1× Water + 12× Flax → Paper glop (6 ticks). Wheat works too and gives the same product. 2) Paper Press: 1× Paper glop → Clean Paper (6 ticks). The press itself costs 4× Wooden beam + 2× Bronze Gear + 6× Iron Detail.
Where do you get flax?
Flax has no crafting recipe in this build — it is grown or bought. The same plant feeds the textile chain (Flax Thread at the Spinning Wheel, Fabric at the Weaving Loom), so paper competes with cloth for the same harvest.
What needs clean paper?
Ten recipes: the prayer set and Story at the Writing Desk, Blank Softcover Notebook, Science Kit I, the Printing Press itself, and Printed Money. It is the shared input of every book-shaped object in the game.
