Graveyard Keeper 2 printing press

The Printing Press is where paper turns into money and knowledge: printed money, poetry, the red/green/blue techbooks and the newspaper upgrades all come off this station.

Costs and research come straight from the game data, and “Where” is the work zone whose build desk offers the building — the game’s own placement record. “No research listed” means the page has none to show: either this build records none, or the game ships no name for it. In practice these rows are gated by materials, not by the tech tree.

“Inspiration lv” is the level this station’s own inspiration track has to reach — below it the recipe is not offered. “Needs” is the extension that has to stand next to the station before the recipe appears.

Common questions

What does the printing press cost?
6× Oiled Beam + 2× Bronze Gear + 6× Iron Detail. The Oiled Beam is the expensive part: beams need the Circular Saw, and oiling them needs Melted Fat from the Distillation Cube.
Can you print money?
There is a Printed Money recipe on this station, and a Printing Press recipe on it too — you can build another press from the first one. Ticks and inputs are in the table below.
What are the techbooks for?
Six recipes cover Red/Green/Blue Techbook I and II. They are the printed form of the research you are missing, which is how the writing chain feeds back into the tech tree.
