How to use the Donkey in Graveyard Keeper 2? Body delivery system explained
The Donkey is a crucial mechanic in Graveyard Keeper 2 that delivers corpses to your graveyard on a regular schedule. These bodies can be buried to improve your graveyard's rating or converted into zombies to assist with tasks, making the Donkey's reliability essential to gameplay progression.
The Donkey arrives every two in-game days, but operates under a probabilistic system where the chance of it missing increases with each successful delivery. Once it misses, it will almost certainly return within the next two-day cycle. If your graveyard reaches capacity, the Donkey will not appear until you clear space; however, players can eventually increase the number of bodies delivered per visit through completion of in-game quests.
In short
- Donkey delivers corpses every two days using a probabilistic arrival system
- Graveyard must have available space or Donkey won't appear
- Number of bodies can be increased through in-game quests
Explained simply
Graveyard Keeper 2 is a management game in which players run a graveyard and decide how to use the bodies brought to it. Burying bodies can improve the graveyard’s rating, while turning them into zombies can provide help with work around the site.
The Donkey is the game’s delivery system for bringing bodies to the graveyard. Its visits follow an in-game schedule, but the timing can vary, and the graveyard needs room to receive a delivery. Quests can later increase how many bodies arrive at once.
