All crafting materials in Graveyard Keeper 2 and where to find them
Graveyard Keeper 2's crafting system requires various materials scattered across the map, divided between easily obtainable resources and those requiring specific production methods or unlocked workstations. This guide identifies the best sources for each material to ensure players maintain adequate supplies for construction and crafting.
– Firewood: crafted at the Chopping Spot using Small Logs or Sticks, then produced via the Firewood Shed workstation – Ash: obtained by burning bodies at the Crematorium I to maintain graveyard reputation – Melted Fat: produced by burning items at the Distillation Cube – Ink: created at the Writing Desk using Ash, Water, and Melted Fat (one of each) – Honey: extracted from beehives found on certain trees; refreshes on a timer – Iron: mined from large brown shining nodes located in the base and Forest (requires sufficient mastery) – Sand: found southwest of the base along the stream by the fishing spot; alternatively produced from Tin using the Sluice Box – Marble: exclusively mined in the Forest or found in certain chests; unavailable in the base
In short
- Most materials are found across the map or produced at specific workstations.
- Some resources like Ink require multiple components crafted at different stations.
- Marble is the only resource that cannot be found in the player's base.
Explained simply
Graveyard Keeper 2 is a crafting and management game in which players gather materials to build and use workstations. Some supplies can be collected directly from the map, while others must be made at particular stations.
The materials come from different parts of the game: players can gather honey from beehives and mine iron or marble in specified areas. Firewood, ash, melted fat and ink involve chopping, burning or using a workstation, while sand can be collected near the stream or produced from tin.
Knowing where supplies come from helps players plan construction and crafting. Some sources depend on progress, such as having enough mastery to mine iron or unlocking the right workstation.
