GK2 Guide

Graveyard Keeper 2 Town Guide

Restore buildings, unlock shops and residents, understand Town Quality and Happiness, automate production and prepare the Town's defenses.

This guide answers from the recorded town data: 16 repair projects, 12 shops over 34 shop tiers, 209 happiness deals and 73 orders. Every number below is what the game records, and anything it does not record is named as missing instead of guessed.

Where do you want to start?

Pick the question you arrived with. Each one lands on the section that answers it.

How the Town system works

The Town is not one location among many. It is the system that ties progression, economy, residents, shops, construction, automation and combat together: restoring it is what unlocks the services you then build on.

  1. Reach the Town
  2. Complete Town progression
  3. Restore buildings and plots
  4. Unlock residents, shops and services
  5. Improve the Town state
  6. Generate resources, trade and orders
  7. Expand production and automation
  8. Fortify the Town, then fight

Read the model from the top and every section below has an owner. Reaching the Town is story progression, restoring a plot is construction, staffing it is residents and shops, funding it is the economy, feeding it is automation, and holding it is combat.

How to unlock the Town

Town access is a story gate, not a purchase or a technology. The guide records what opens it and hands the step-by-step chain to the walkthrough.

  1. Current progression
  2. Required quest or event
  3. Access opens
  4. Town systems become available

Until the access quest is complete, the town's plots do not accept work: a site can be visible and still refuse the repair. If you cannot enter or cannot start a restoration, the blocker is progression rather than materials, so check the walkthrough for your current step before gathering anything.

How to restore the Town

Every restoration in the Town follows one shape, whether it is a collapsed house or a shop front. Once you know the shape, the tables below are just the numbers filled in.

  1. Available restoration site
  2. Choose or unlock the restoration
  3. Meet the material requirements
  4. Restore or upgrade
  5. Gain a service, a resident or a Town effect

A restoration consumes kits rather than raw materials, so the real question is usually which kit you can produce. Each kit is linked below and its own page shows the craft and the workstation it needs.

Town buildings and restoration projects

The houses and blocks the Town asks you to repair. Projects that record the same name, the same cost and the same payoff are one row with a count, because the game repeats one project per house.

Building-tab technologies named after the Town

The Technology tree's Building tab carries the house and market lines. Their recorded research cost and prerequisites are listed here so you can see what the Town branch asks for before you commit points.

    A technology that is not linked here has no published page yet; its name and cost are still recorded. In this extraction none of these technologies states a town building it unlocks, so treat them as the research line the Town sits in, not as a per-building gate.

    How the Town shops work

    A shop is a town building like any other restoration, and its tier ladder is the ladder of buildings it grows through. Build a tier and the shop appears or improves; the stock itself belongs to the shop's own page.

    1. Restore or build the shop
    2. The merchant becomes available
    3. Inventory and service
    4. Possible upgrades
    5. Town and economy effects

    The guide lists the shop's role and what each tier costs. What a shop sells, what it buys and which quests unlock its stock stay on the shop page, so there is one answer per question instead of two that can drift.

    How Town Quality works

    Town Quality is the capability value the Town measures itself by. It is not a per-building counter, so the only honest way to answer a Town Quality question is to name the source the game records.

    1. Restoration
    2. Buildings and upgrades
    3. Quest progression
    4. Other recorded Town improvements

    None of the repairs or shop tiers this guide publishes records a Town Quality award: what they record is village reputation, the reward item they hand over, and the service they open. Do not expect a Town Quality step from restoring another house, and do not assume one building equals a fixed amount of it.

    Why isn't my Town Quality increasing?

    • Is the project complete, and did the reward actually land?
    • Does this project record a Town Quality award at all, or only a service and reputation?
    • Is the Town Quality step attached to an upgrade rather than to the first tier?
    • Is a quest state still holding the reward back?
    • Has the reward already been granted once, so this is a repeat that pays nothing?
    • Is the source even available in the version you are playing?

    Town Quality vs Happiness

    Two town values sit next to each other in the interface and mean different things. One is the state of the Town, the other is what you can spend or earn from the people in it.

    What the Town pays Happiness for

    Every deal the town data records, grouped by the contact you hand the goods to. A deal pays per unit, and only the units left under its weekly cap count.

    A deal pays nothing once its weekly units are used up or the contact's cap is reached, so handing over more of the same item is not a way past a ceiling. If Happiness does not move, check the weekly cap on the deal and the cap of the tier you are dealing with.

    Town orders

    An order is a delivery the Town asks you for: a named item, a stated amount, and a payment. The guide lists them because they are recorded town content and no order record has a page of its own.

    1. Unlock the contact
    2. Deliver what the order asks for
    3. Collect the happiness it pays
    4. The Town moves on

    The happiness figure is the base the order records. An urgent order pays more than its ordinary version, and a repeatable order can be run again once it refreshes, which is why some items appear twice.

    Town residents

    The people the Town pays directly, as opposed to the shop counters you trade at. A resident deals with you face to face, and their page owns their errands and their place in the story.

    A resident appears once their house or their workplace is restored, so a missing resident is usually an unfinished restoration or an unmet quest rather than a bug. If a resident is simply not where you expected, the NPC finder places them from the recorded position.

    The Town economy

    Restoring the Town is how a settlement of problems becomes a source of income. Each restored service adds somewhere to trade and something to deliver.

    1. Restore a service
    2. A merchant, an order or an activity exists
    3. Trade and output
    4. The Town economy

    The guide does not rank money-making here, because the recorded data does not price anything: prices move with the runtime stock and money modifiers, so a single number next to a shop would be a claim the data does not support. What it does record is which shops exist and which goods they ask for.

    Zombies and Town production

    Restoration is a material sink, and the undead are the answer to a material sink. This is where the Town meets the graveyard's own production line.

    1. Town demand and restoration
    2. Material requirements
    3. Production
    4. Zombie workers

    Which workstation can be automated, how one item is produced and where a chain breaks are the automation hub's and the planner's answers, not this page's. Use them once the tables above tell you which kit you are short of.

    Town defense

    A restored Town is worth defending. The published data does not yet carry the fortifications themselves, so this section states the model and hands the fighting to the combat hub.

    1. Restore the Town
    2. Unlock and build defenses
    3. Prepare troops and equipment
    4. Fight

    Towers, wall sections, armour and weapons are recorded in the game but not in the published town payload, so nothing here pretends to price them. What the guide can say today is what defense is for: the Town you restored is the thing the undead come for.

    What should I restore next?

    There is no single best building order, because the right next restoration depends on what you are trying to unlock. Pick a goal and the guide resolves it to the restoration that goal needs.

    Town troubleshooting

    The failures players actually hit, each with the one thing worth checking. Everything here is a data-backed check, not a guess.

    • I can't enter the Town

      Access is a story gate. Check the access quest for your current step in the walkthrough before assuming a bug.

    • I can't restore this building

      Compare the materials in the project's row with your stock, then check whether the access quest for the Town is complete.

    • The restoration site is not active

      A site can be visible while the Town's story state still locks it. The blocker is progression, not materials.

    • A resident did not appear

      Residents appear once their house or workplace is restored. Check the building state, then the quest that places them.

    • The shop is not available

      A shop appears when its tier-1 building is built and improves when a higher tier is built. Check which tier is standing.

    • Town Quality did not increase

      The published projects record services and reputation, not Town Quality. Check the source list above before expecting a step.

    • Happiness is not increasing

      Check the deal's weekly unit cap and the tier's cap: a deal stops paying once either is reached, however much you hand over.

    • A town order is unavailable

      Orders belong to a contact and a tier. Check that the shop or resident is unlocked at the tier the order belongs to.

    • Defense is not available

      Town defense is story-gated, and the published data does not record its buildings yet, so there is no cost list to check here.

    • Automation stopped supplying the Town

      Check the production chain, not the Town: a broken chain starves the restoration long before the Town itself fails.

    Current version notes

    What this page is answering from, and what it deliberately leaves out until the full game's data is extracted.

    • This guide is written for the full game rather than for the demo. Where a value comes from demo-era data it is marked as recorded rather than promised.
    • The demo is a few hours long and its save carries into the full game, but the complete restoration system sits past where the demo ends.
    • Town Quality has no source among the published restoration projects. The one recorded award sits on a shop line the publication layer does not freeze, so this page names that gap instead of filling it in.
    • The Building-tab town technologies are recorded without naming a town building they unlock. Read them as the research line the Town sits in.
    • Fortifications, troops and their equipment are not in the published town payload yet.
    • A project or a deal whose materials name an item without a published page is left out of the tables rather than shown with an incomplete cost, which is why two Brewery tiers and several Brewer's deals are missing.

    Built from the frozen production data of Graveyard Keeper 2. Game names are official localizations; every town figure on this page is projected from the same tables the rest of the site reads.
