Graveyard Keeper 2 Recipes & Crafting

Find a recipe, see where to make it, what materials it needs, and what's blocking you from crafting it.

This page routes crafting questions: which method makes an item, which workbench performs it, which ingredient it consumes and which unlock it waits on. The full recipe for one item stays on that item's page, so nothing here is a second, competing version of it.

389 documented methods across 298 craftable items

What are you trying to craft?

Type an item name and its documented methods answer here, with the workbench, the materials and the unlock attached. An item without a documented method answers with how it is obtained instead.

Try:

Start typing an item name to see how it is made.

Why can't I craft this?

Pick an item and the page shows what its recipe requires: the method, the unlock, the workstation and the materials. Based only on the game data, so it never claims you have something you may not.

Only items with a documented crafting method can be checked here.

Choose an item to see its recipe requirements.

389 method(s)

Every documented method for the current selection. An item with several methods lists all of them, because a second method is an answer rather than noise.

How much do I need?

Open a recipe above to multiply its materials.

Need to plan a bigger craft?

The crafting calculator adds up materials across several recipe levels, which is where a single-recipe multiplier stops being useful.

Common crafting problems

The questions that bring players here, answered with the counts this build actually documents rather than from a general guide.

  • Why is a recipe missing?

    This hub lists 389 documented methods for 298 items. An item with no method here has no public recipe in the game data, which is not the same as being impossible to make: its page lists the ways to obtain it.

  • How do unlocks gate a recipe?

    79 methods name the technology or quest that unlocks them. 292 need an unlock the current game data does not resolve, so their requirement is stated as undocumented instead of guessed.

    Jump to it

  • Where do I make it?

    The methods here are performed at 56 named workstations. A method that records no workstation says so, because the data does not place it anywhere.

  • Can every item be crafted?

    No. Only the 298 items whose page answers crafting appear in these lists, and the rest are answered by their item pages.

  • What can I make with this material?

    Browse by ingredient answers it for 183 materials, which is usually faster than starting from the finished item.
