Graveyard Keeper 2 runs on a single supply chain that feeds the graveyard, automation, combat and Town Restoration from the same pool of gathered and processed goods. No recipe list has been published before launch. What follows is the material actually named or shown in official sources, kept separate from guesswork.
Named Inputs
Input | Source in official copy |
|---|---|
Flora | Named in the store description as part of what the player harvests |
Fauna | Named alongside flora in the store description |
Human remains | Named in the store description as a harvested material |
Hearts | Named in the publisher's launch announcement as a decayed material collected for the zombie army |
Bones | Named in the same list |
Brains | Named in the same list |
Skin | Named in the same list |
The store copy phrases the gathering brief as harvesting as much flora, fauna and human remains as the player can in order to build extraordinary machinery, automate production and expand the graveyard for profit.

Items Seen in the Hotbar
The heads-up display carries a four slot hotbar, and the published screenshots catch a handful of carried items with their stack counts. These are visual identifications from art, not confirmed item names.
Depicted item | Stack shown |
|---|---|
Wedge of cheese | Three, and four in a second capture |
Pumpkin or squash | One |
Herb or leaf bundle | Twelve, and nine in a second capture |
Tankard of beer | Five, eight and fifteen across three captures |
Red berries | One |
Cut of meat | One |
Purple flask or potion | One and seven across two captures |
Cooked or bundled goods | Two and six across two captures |
A pickup toast in the Garden capture reads plus three Stick, which is the only item name the screenshots actually spell out.
Processed Output
The build mode capture shows a smelter part way through a job, with an ingot icon above it and a stack count of two, which confirms smelting and metal ingots as part of the chain. Weapons, armour and fortification components come off the same lines, as described on Combat, and trade goods for the reviving settlement come off it as well.
The Three Point Currencies
Separate from physical materials, the game tracks three coloured point pools spent on research. They are shown on the heads-up display next to the energy bar and again at the top left of the Technology Tree panel.
Pool | Observed values |
|---|---|
Red | 228 in the world view, 115 on the tech tree screen |
Green | 218 in the world view, 113 on the tech tree screen |
Blue | 201 in the world view, 100 on the tech tree screen |
How each pool is earned has not been described. The screenshots also show a small magenta or pink counter beside the energy bar whose purpose is not stated.
