Revision - resources and materials - Graveyard Keeper 2 Wiki

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 official recipe list had been published as of 23 September 2026, the day after 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.

Materials Visible in the Tech Tree

The Building branch of the Technology Tree names a chain of basic construction materials through its node titles and icon tiles.

Material	Where it appears
Logs and planks	The Concept of Wood node
Firewood and split logs	Chopping node
Processed timber	Woodworking I node
Oiled wood	Its own node, a treated timber a tier above plain boards
Stone blocks	The Concept of Stone node
Polished stone	Stone Polishing node
Clay vessels	Pottery I node
Fired brick	Brick Making node

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.

Materials Named at Launch

Material or Product	Achievement Goal
Bronze ingots	Smelt 100
Iron ingots	Smelt 100
Potions	Brew 25
Trees	Fell 100
Supplies	Create 50 for the town
Battle items	Craft 50
Dishes	Cook 100
Alcohol	Produce 100 bottles

The achievement list is the first official text to name bronze and iron as smelted metals and potions as a brewed product. The Necronomicon, a book the player can find, is also named there.
