Graveyard Keeper 2 crafts a rich world of graveyard management, automation, and building that demands careful material collection to keep your workshops running. Understanding what components are needed for each workstation saves you time and prevents frustrating backtracking when setting up critical crafting stations.
Just unlocking a workstation doesn't immediately grant access to its functions. You must first build it at the appropriate building desk, collecting all required materials beforehand. Some stations also require special extensions to unlock advanced recipes.
It's common to get stuck mid-construction due to missing essential supplies like Wooden Planks, Bronze Nails, Pieces of Stone, or Iron Details. Checking your inventory against the material list before you start gathering streamlines the process and minimizes unnecessary trips.
This material list is categorized by location, helping you quickly identify what's needed for workstations across the Yard, Home, Church, Graveyard, and other zones. This way, you can optimize your resource gathering based on the area you’re working on.
Note: Some costs remain unconfirmed or unknown due to the game's progression gating. Workstations and repairs unlock at different stages, so some entries are withheld rather than speculated upon.
Workstations serve as vital crafting hubs but are also tightly linked to progression mechanics in Graveyard Keeper 2 . Unlocking these through the technology tree doesn’t immediately grant their use without construction and meeting recipe requirements.
Your progress opens new workstations, recipes, and extensions. After unlocking one, you still need to build the workstation at the designated building desk and gather the materials needed for any new recipes it supports.
For instance, the Woodworking Workbench I requires 8 Boards and 4 Bronze Nails to build. Once established, it allows crafting wooden planks and many other woodworking recipes.
Keeping a stock of fundamental materials can prevent constant stops during construction or crafting sessions—plan ahead to avoid wasting time searching for materials whenever a new blueprint emerges.
So it is worth keeping some basic materials stocked instead of collecting them only when a new blueprint appears.
At the start, you’ll use core materials like wood, stone, and bronze for construction extensively. As you advance, more refined materials become necessary for sophisticated workstations.
Common early materials to gather include:
- Wood and Boards
- Wooden Planks
- Sticks
- Pieces of Stone
- Clay
- Bronze Nails
- Bronze Details
- Bricks
Mid-to-late game stations demand additional items, such as Iron Details, Polished Bronze, Advanced Details, Steel Ingots, and Polished Marble, so be prepared for more involved resource management.
For example, building the Kiln requires 4 Pieces of Stone, 5 Clay, and 5 Water, while Furnace I needs 6 Pieces of Stone and 12 Bricks. Collecting all materials in one run enhances efficiency.
Collect different materials carefully, especially when multiple items are required for a single workstation. Consult the in-game Day Schedule to plan outdoor gathering trips on days when key resources spawn.
Each main location in Graveyard Keeper 2 hosts unique workstations and associated materials. This breakdown helps focus your collection efforts based on your immediate building priorities.
